What is it with E-Bay and PayPal?
I was awaiting the end of an auction last night, and as I was entering my bid (at the very last second, of course), I get this message that I either don't have a PayPal account, or it's not "linked" to my E-bay account. What's up with that?
Almost every transaction I've completed in the last several years, I've done with PayPal. At the end of each auction a prompt from PayPal comes up that assumes that I'm going to complete the auction payment using PayPal (which I usually click on). My PayPal account isn't linked to my E-Bay account? What kind of crap is that? :flamemad:
So, I missed the opportunity to possibly win that auction. My max bid was higher than the winning bid, but because I don't know what the winning bidder's max was, I'll never know if I could have won that auction or not.
Before the next auction came up for a similar item, I clicked on the "link your PayPal account to your E-Bay account" prompt on the screen. OK, everthing in dodo land is suddenly cool. Now they recognize my PayPal account. :confused:
With E-Bay and PayPal being the same company now, you'd think that they'd be linked already. No wonder I hate PayPal so much...
This ever happen to anyone else?
(OK, rant over...:mad: )
