[help] ebay/paypal

i just tried to buy something on ebay (an out of print coil
cd) and i feel like i made a big mistake... i often buy
things through online stores but i've never seen such a
fucking mess!

the item was on "buy it now", i ordered it, chose paypal (i
probably shouldn't have) and i just have to pay the seller
now — but i just don't get how i'm supposed to do it. when
i want to pay, the site (paypal) tells me to login, then
enter my credit card information, which i do, but i can't
get past the page where it tells me to enter my credit card
information... when i fill it in and click on "continue", i
get an error message telling me that that credit card is
already entered on my paypal account and i'm still on the
same page...

i have no idea of what's going on there, maybe the site is
having problems, or i have a problem, but i'm starting to
feel really bad about this.

help, please...? : (

Did you read all the pages carefully for each step? I
remember when I first signed up to Paypal I had to wait to
see a "test" transaction on my bank statement and enter it's
reference (thus, I assume, proving I am me to Paypal's
satisfaction).

register onto paypal first (seperately) > just go straight
to paypal.com and not through ebay

i am registered on paypal, yes...

i had to choose between phone, sms or credit card for
verification when i registered and i chose credit card so
maybe it would be what xceque said, but i can't find a place
to enter a reference...

i tried everything, it's been several hours since i'm on
this now.

okay, it seems to be what xceque said. i hope that i get
that code pretty soon and that i don't have any problems
with the seller for being late... if it is where's
the problem...

thanks

check your online bank statement if you can do that. that
way you won't have to wait until your next printed statement
in the mail
