Does this mean they'll accept a CC but "prefers" Paypal? My Paypal is not verified and only goes up to $500. I'm assuming yes they'll accept CC, but wanna make sure. I doubt I'll get a reply now as the auction ends in a few hours.

I'm the high bidder so far and don't wanna get stuck.

fyi It's for a children's swing/slide set.

That's what I was wondering. Does the $500 limit to my unverified PayPal account still hold true? I use a CC through my PayPal now that they have on record. The limit is still $500. Damn, and my winning bid is $501 as of now. lol

Are you sure that you have to go through paypal for a cc? Some people have thier own business

Why don't you verify your account?

Yes, they do take credit cards.

I'm a power seller on ebay.

the seller is saying that they accept credit cards through their business as well as through paypal - but that doesn't mean they do. A lot of sellers don't know what they're doing and will click those options on just because they think it means the same thing.

There are ways around it, though. If your paypal account is unverified and you win, just pay through paypal without logging in. ( Meaning that you would be creating a new account at time of payment.) Anyone can pay for your auction - it doesn't have to be paid using your id.

he cant use that credit card if it is already on record with the first account

unless he removes it, closes his account and re-opens a new one.

You can use any CC thru Paypal.
