Why can't I use my debit card for Ebay purchases?

I went through the whole process of adding and verifying my bank account, plus adding and verifying my debit card. After I verified that everything went through and showed up properly in my PayPal account,  I tried to use it to pay for an Ebay auction today, and when I checked out, it gave the only funding sources as my PayPal balance or an e-check from my bank. It said I could not use a credit or debit card for that purchase. What's up with that? I added my card so that I could make instant payments. If cards are not accepted for Ebay purchases, and I have to wait for an e-check to clear anyway, then what's the purpose of having a debit or credit card attached to my PayPal account?
