Thanks everyone for your responses. So, as far as I understand now, I have bypassed Paypal (accidentally) and my payment will be processed in a few days directly from my bank account, right?
No, your payment will be processed from your credit card as you gave you credit card details...this is the only way you can make a guest payment.
Can I clarify that the money will still get through to the seller. even if the seller indicated that he wanted Paypal payment only (its in the product description)?
Yes, the payment should get to the seller.
If the money will not get through, is there any way that I can cancel the direct payment and pay using Paypal instead? I have tried cancelling the order and sending a message to the seller explaining this, but he rejected the cancellation of order. Can I take it as a good sign that the money will be sent?
There is no way the buyer can cancel an order...it has to be done by the seller. The seller would have received notification of the payment being made even though it is still Pending so had no valid reason to cancel the order. Also, while the payment is pending the seller cannot issue a refund.
Haha sorry for being so ignorant about ebay/paypal and thanks everyone again!
Next time you go to make a payment, check out the button right at the top of the page.....it is hidden away, above the very in your face credit card option. That is the button for paypal. You will log into your paypal account by hitting that button and then you can make your choice of funding sources. I recommend having your credit card on file with paypal and using that as your funding source. It gives you maximum buyer protection in the event of a transaction going pearshaped.
