"Paypal - Help me!"

Right. Found an old out of print cd I'd been looking for forever.

Problem - it's on US e-bay, and I have to pay by paypal.

I've tried paypal once before, registered a credit card (including putting in that 4 digit number you get on your statement). Then got lost and gave up.
But this time I really want the cd :^)

I know you can add funds from your bank account, but that takes a few days, and the site says you can add funds instantly from a credit card.

Problem - How? The 'help' pages don't tell you, the 'add funds' tab only gives me the option to transfer funds from a bank account.

So can I actually add funds from a credit card? And if so, how???

Yay. Paid, and it was easy :^)

Including shipping it was still under £5 too. Paypal and America both rule :^)

It's a solo album by the bloke from the Eels, 'E'.

Thus concludes my eels collection. Except that internet sale live album, but there were no new tracks anyway, and I can't afford it :^)

Whats the album?

Yay!

I won, $2.75, under £2, plus shipping, for an out of print album that rules.

Yay :^)

I usually do, but I all too often forget completely until just after the end.

And my max. so far will still get me the cd under a tenner including shipping from the US.

And I really want to make sure I get it :^)

Indeed.

First thing you learn on ebay - always bid at the last second.

21 hours to go? I hope you havent bid yet. Bidding should be reserved for the last 5 seconds.

It's because we're lame and need stuff pointing out far more clearly. Preferably with pictures.
:^)

Right, I'm going with the 2 to 1 majority that suggest I can work this unwieldy weapon of money, and I've bid.

21 hours to go and we're currently at just under $3...


Thanks for the help
:^)

Nope. You send the money to his email acount that is registered with PayPal. Easy.

Exactly, the money goes straight onto your credit card bill.
