The email address you entered isn't associated with an active PayPal account?

The email address you entered isn't associated with an active PayPal account, so although you're able to complete this listing, you can't receive funds. Make sure the email address is correct and matches your active PayPal account. Or, set up a PayPal account soon with this email address.

Have you set up a paypal account.

 

The email address for the paypal and ebay accts should be the same in order to receive payment.

If PayPal is different , add your ebay one. Can have up to 8 on your PP account so no reason to delete any..

 

Make sure the 2 accounts are linked..

add your eBay email address to your existing Pay Pal account.

For example if your eBay email address is fred@fred.com and you have a Paypal account with the email address harry@harry.com, you need to ADD fred@fred.com to your Paypal account.

Simple when you know but very confusing when you dont.
