Hi newfie

 

U have to link from ebay

 

To link your PayPal and eBay accounts:

  1. Click My eBay at the top of most eBay pages.

  2. Click the Account tab.

  3. Click the “PayPal Account” link on the left side of the page.

  4. Click the Link My PayPal Account button.

  5. You'll be asked to log into PayPal to finish linking your accounts.

Thanks but I did that in Ebay when I tried to print a shipping label I got this error message:

 

The buyer's name and shipping address could not be pre-filled because your eBay username has not been added to your PayPal profile.
To add your eBay username to your PayPal profile, go to your PayPal Account Profile and click on the Auctions link in the Selling Preferences column.

I can go in my Ebay then click a few links (Update your PayPal settings) and go directly to paypal. So it must be linked.

Your eBay account is linked to this PayPal account for purchases: r...s@eastlink.caUnlink accounts

 

This is what I see but still get the Ppal error message

Ok so now we know it is linked try this

 

Go to your ebay sold page find the transaction and click "more actions" at the side

 

Click "sell similar" scroll down and double check your ppal email address is correct without any spelling mistakes on your listings

If its wrong try adding that one to your ppal and see if the money comes thru, give it time

 

Is your ppal acc linked to your ebay?

Your ppal address on your listings has to be the same as your ppal email address
