You can probably tell I don't do alot of eBay bidding buy the number of questions I ask about it but I have another. I was trying to bid on an HD-DVD and the seller has some sort of terms that if your pay-pal acct. isn't linked up with eBay that he won't accept your bid. Is the safe/normal?

    I know when I'm selling something, it gives a link to PayPal to pay for the auction when it's done. Maybe that's not what you mean but it may be that he just wants someone with a verified PayPal account to buy something. Just ask him and see what he means by it. I'm not real sure what to tell you!

    Yes, that's normal. There's a check box for buy-it-now where you can require immediate payment via paypal & someone can buy it out from under you until you complete the payment.

    This is what it said.


    This seller has set buyer requirements for this item and only sells to buyers who meet those requirements.

    You are unable to bid on or buy this item because:


    You either don't have a PayPal account or your PayPal account is not linked to your eBay account. We encourage you to register with PayPal - it is the fast, easy and safe way to pay. Register with PayPal | Already have a PayPal account?

    Ebay bought PayPal a little while back, so it's a double win for Ebay if you pay via PayPal since they get even more fee revenue.........
