Paypal Account Required Auction...can you still snipe?

[Christy]

There's an auction I'm interested in. It says Paypal account required.

Can someone still "snipe" with an auction listed like this. Do I have to enter a low bid first, then do my high snipe bid at the end?

And, I forgot to add I've been having a positive experience so far. We took the kids on a short day trip and I was able to relax knowing that two auctions I was interested in I'd have a chance to win! I did win one of them for a good price too!

Christy,

Do you have a Paypal account?

If you do, it must be associated with your eBay account on eBay.

To do that you log into eBay and then go to the 'My Account' section (its on the left hand side after you have logged in)... It was a while ago since I last did it so I can't remember exactly (and it changes the options after you have associated the accounts so I can't tell what it looks like without that association)... anyway as far as I remember it was pretty straightforward.

After that has been completed, yes you should be able to snipe this auction as usual.

However, if you want to make sure that its all worked, it might also be a good idea to place a low bid on that auction... once you know you can bid on such auctions its not necessary to place a low bid on all of them... I'm just suggesting it for this first one to make sure that the association is operating correctly on eBay.
