How do i change to visa or mastercard instead of paypal?
With your PayPal account linked to your bank account as you selected,
you can add your Visa and Mastercard accounts as alternate means of
making a payment. When you enter your PayPal account screen you
should see "change" or "change method". You click on the dot beside
the credit card and you can also change which card you want to use.
Making a credit card payment thru PayPal is easy and safe, and since
many sellers don't have merchant numbers required for credit card
payments PayPal works great. You also don't have to worry that
someone may be listening in to your phone when transmitting your
card info. (You should never key it into an e-mail, to avoid interseption
by un-knowns) PayPal is the safe way to do it.
There are only two methods to pay with credit card. If listing shows seller has their own merchant account , can opt to pay direct.
Otherwise , cards are processed through PP with an account or not. PP allows a limited # of payments without an account . Just select ..do not have a PP account when checking out.
Gift cards do not always work with PP and never, unless registered on line.
If plans to continue using ebay , open an account.
do you have money in your paypal account.?
If so you have to use that before any other way.
Are your credit cards linked to paypal.?
