After a certain amount of transactions paypal requires that you link to a checking account instead of a credit card. I ran up against this on one of my last ebay transactions a bunch of years ago. Paypal refused the transaction so I ended up paying the old fashioned way -- by money order. Then it was fuck paypal and fuck ebay for pretty much requiring paypal for every auction. There are plenty of ways to get stuff off the Internet other than ebay and most of the stuff listed on ebay is overpriced crap bid up by morons who don't know what things cost in the real world. Who was it who said "No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people?" Ebay and paypal are perfect successful examples of that phenomenon!
