I want to buy a signed guitar from ebay.I don't have a credit card but my uncle does.First off would my account with ebay work with his credit card or would he need his own accont?.Next question does pay-pal just mean a credit card or do you need to do something else to buy it?,Thanks for the help.

It depends on your seller, some may take checks..money orders, or accept paypal like that. I think you only need a account number if you are a seller, but don't quote me on that. Paypal on the other hand you just need a bank account

Depends on the seller. Check the information for the sale before bidding. Usually it will tell you what the seller will take (checks, money orders (my favorite), pay pal, credit cards, etc.) Once you have won the item, then you contact the seller and work out the payment. If it is an individual, they probably will NOT be able to take a credit card, but will want a money order (or check).
If they take a credit card, you can use your uncles. Just be sure you have his permission. Otherwise that would be fraud and you could go to jail for using it.
Pay-pal is a service that you can use with a credit card, debit card, checking or savings account. What you do is set up an account with Pay Pal where they ahve permission to take money out of your account (checking, savings, debit or credit) and transfer it to the seller's account. There is a charge to use Pay Pal (believe 3% of the sale). You have to have the money already in a checking or savings account before you can use PayPal to make a purchase.

look at the listing and see what kind of payment the seller accepts. ask questions to make sure that you understand what is being sold, is it original , does the seller gurantee the item, how is the sellers feedback, best way to pay for things is with a credit card or thru pay pal that way if there is a problem you have some recourse. if you use your uncle's card be sure that you give him the money to cover the cost of the item. Good Luck

i normally sent money orders, but you can use his credit card to buy something with your account. Paypal is a credit card set up with ebay. you set up any credit card with that site and ebay can just bill that card through the site. you dont need to buy anything else with paypal.
