Why link PayPal to eBay
If you link PayPal to eBay, you will have a faster and more straightforward experience for payments of items you purchase on eBay stores. And that means lesser hassle with filling up personal information and payment method.

You see, most sellers on eBay accept PayPal as one of its payment modes in the list of options. One of the best reasons is that the service is free for all its account users. Sure, there is a charge for a transaction, but the service itself is free 100%.
