I was finally able to get my paypal account re-linked to my ebay account. After getting caught in the loop, I changed my paypal password. Then on my ebay page, I chose to create a paypal account. When I tried to create a new paypal account under the same email, I got a notification that I already had an account with that email, but to log in to my paypal account. I logged into my paypal account and when I went back to my ebay account page it showed that my accounts were linked. I am now able to bid on auctions that require a paypal account be linked. The weird thing is that through all this, I was still able to pay for my ebay auctions that didn't require a paypal account be linked. Anyway, hope this works you guys.
