Checkout and payment on US ebay

billy_bluegum — Sun, 30 Sep 2012 22:14:51 GMT

Often I buy and pay for items on the US site.

Ebay have changed checkout and payment so that there is no need to actually log in to Paypal - you just go to checkout and pay as the two accounts are linked.

I notice that you can 'unlink' the accounts if you wish.

Wouldn't having the accounts linked pose more of a security risk?

Should I unlink them?

Billy, if you have concerns then by all means unlink them, if you dont then .......Have you thought of spending your money in Australia first though?

If any explanation is necessary, what I buy from the US is not available in Australia.

I must agree, while I like to buy Australia wherever possible especially on eBay, I do sometimes get DVD's or games from US

for the grandkids as they are usually available in US before they are here.

Hi Billy,

I buy a lot on eBay USA. Linking the Paypal account is a real time-saver for me. Just make sure you keep your eBay password secure.
