How do I pay with Paypal under the new system?

[itazuramono]

This is really important because I need to know if I bid on an item if I'll be able to pay for it. eBay won't let me link my Paypal account but will I still be able to use it to buy an item?

Yes, PayPal accounts don’t need to be linked to use it to pay for purchases.

And will I be able to pay directly from my Paypal balance? Or do I need to use a card through my Paypal account?

I think that depends on what type of Pay Pal account you have?

@itazuramono 

I'd expect that you could use either... your Paypal balance or a payment method in your PayPal wallet. Good luck.

The new system (which actually isn't new) doesn't affect buyers; it only changed how sellers received their funds, and how/when eBay extracted its fees.

So you should be able to pay the same way you used to pay.

@itazuramono Managed payments is only for sellers and how they receive their payments. Buyers can always use PP just as they did before. If you have a PP balance then that is what you will use when you purchase anything on eBay. Best of luck to you....
