The Basics of Linking Your eBay and PayPal Account

Are you aware that you can connect your eBay and PayPal account? Connecting your eBay and PayPal account can give you a lot of advantages, especially if you often use eBay. PayPal is considered to be the world’s biggest online payment service hence it is commonly used as a method for paying goods bought in eBay. Furthermore, PayPal offers security by being a third party mediator so that your financial details are concealed to the merchant. It is also applicable for eBay merchants too.

Connecting your ebay and PayPal account is quite simple. To integrate your eBay and PayPal account, the initial thing that you  have to do is login to the website and click on 'My eBay'. Then on the 'Account' tab, click the 'PayPal Account' link. Then you need to click the 'Link My PayPal Account' button. You will then be requested to login to your PayPal account and after that, your PayPal and eBay account are now connected. Keep in mind though that you need to be a verified PayPal member in order to link your account. This is done for further protection, because those people who haven't verified their PayPal account haven't done the essential measures to confirm their identity.

Once you have connected your PayPal and eBay account, your PayPal address will now be included in your eBay addresses. This is very useful when purchasing an item from eBay. This address is called as a 'confirmed address' since PayPal has already verified that that address is the same with your credit card billing address. This can make eBay sellers more confident when dealing with you since you have a genuine address.

eBay sellers can also benefit greatly from linking their PayPal and eBay account. This is due to the fact that they if they employ their PayPal account to acquire payments for their merchandise, they will be entitled to the PayPal Seller Protection service. This policy can help them decrease losses caused by buyer claims, charge-backs, or reversals for items not received and unauthorized payments.
