So that's your basic question answered.

However.

If you have a Paypal account,you have two kinds of Buyer Protection.

EBay allows 30 days from delivery (or last estimated delivery) to dispute a transaction.

Paypal allows 180 days from purchase to dispute a transaction.

There is no charge for a buyer to use a PP account.

PP is a very secure method of payment.

And by the way if you use your credit card, the payment will be processed by Paypal

PP accounts backed by a credit card make instant payments, unlike those backed by debit cards or bank accounts.

Some sellers Block bidders who do not have active PP accounts.

And I would question whether, in case of a dispute, a transaction that used two different forms of payment would actually refund the whole payment or only the first partial payment, ignoring the second partial payment.

This has come up in the past when transactions were done in a form of layaway.

Apparently you have cash and you have a credit card.

 Put the cash on the credit card.  Open a PP account. Back the card with your credit card.

KISS.

the text on the gift card says: "To use this Gift Card you must have an eBay account with a Canadian registration address, and a PayPal account." However it does not say it is required to have an account on the eBay online FAQ. It is confusing because on the physical card it says its required, however online FAQ says I can use a second funding source such as a credit card therefore I do not require a PayPal account.

"If you want to use the Gift Card to make a purchase that exceeds the available balance on the Gift Card, you must combine the use of the Gift Card with additional payment from your PayPal account or other funding source. You agree that we are not responsible if you do not have enough funds on your Gift Card to facilitate a transaction."

so can i use my credit card as the second funding source? i do not have a paypal account will itt still work?

[mcrlmn]

It will work if the seller accepts credit cards as an alternative to PayPal.
You'd have to read the listing or ask the seller.

The FAQ addresses those questions and it appears to me the answer to both is yes.

I would go with what the gift card says -- many gift cards have special restrictions.

Really not sure why you are allergic to having a paypal account.
