eBay/PayPal help!

[mlpkatie]

How can I tell of my PayPal is hooked up to my eBay account? So I can bid on items. Also, if I don't have any money on my PayPal count will it just charge to my credit card?

Did you do this when you set it up?

To link your PayPal and eBay accounts:
Click My eBay at the top of most eBay pages.

Click the Account tab.

Click the “PayPal Account” link on the left side of the page.

Click the Link My PayPal Account button.

You'll be asked to log into PayPal to finish linking your accounts.

If so then it is linked.  And yes, your credit card will be charged if you do not have the funds in your Paypal.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I have visa debit, so I don't ever have funds in my paypal, it goes directly to and from my savings account. Definitely something to look into, makes my life a million times easier shopping online - and I'm using my own money, but because I'm dealing through my credit card number, I get visa protection as well as paypal protection.
