How do I stop Ebay from automatically signing in to my PayPal account?

I prefer to use my PayPal password every time I make a purchase.  It feels like an extra layer of security.

 

Annoyingly, every time I have bought something recently, Ebay asked if I want to change it so that I no longer have to sign in to PayPal.  And one of those times, I must have accidentally clicked 'yes' because today Ebay paid my purchase without ever asking for my PayPal password.

 

How can I change my settings so that I am required to enter my PayPal password for every purchase again? (And can I make Ebay stop asking me to let them sign in for me?)

You can opt out from either your Paypal account or your eBay account.

Here's how - 

 

From your Paypal account:

  • Log in to your Paypal account
  • Click on the little gear (Profile) icon at the top right of the page
  • In the thick blue banner you’ll see Account  Security  Payments  Notifications
  • Select Payments
  • Under:  Manage Upcoming Payments
  • Click login with PayPal
  • Select eBay & click [Remove]

---------------------------------------

 or From your eBay account:

  • My eBay page  
  • Account tab 
  • Personal Information / Financial Information
  • under CHECKOUT, remove your Paypal info.

---------------------------------------

Then after you make payments, don't accidentally opt yourself back in.

Don't select Remember Me.

Select Maybe Later.

Unfortunately, there is no Don't ask me again option.
