I have won some auctions from a non ebay site. They have paypal as an option but I cannot get it to work. Whenever I have tried to shop I get frustrated and abandon my cart. It wants an address verification but it has already been verified. Can anyone with paypal knowledge help walk me thru this process. I have won 5 auctions and need to pay for one today.

TIA

Me :p

How are you trying to pay for it? Is it like ebay where they have there paypal thing on there for you to click and pay? Have you tried going to paypal and then to send money from there to them.
If nothing else contact the seller and tell them you are having problems and see if they won't go to paypal and request the money from there.

I refuse to take part in any auction where I am required to pay through a third party. I don't understand or trust paypal.

Paypal enables a lot of people WITH and WITHOUT credit cards to do business on the web. It works quite simply..but they do get a percentage of the transaction.

I am not required to pay via paypal but I figure why not since I have enough there thru surveys, product testing,ptr, etc. They have a paypal icon but it keeps asking for address verification, then says I have already verified my addy and I cannot figure it out. Guess I'll have to pay by check or credit card.

I will continue to try. Maybe my son can help me but he is away at school and hard to get a hold of.

Try going directly to paypal at the top click send money. Fill in the information. You will need the email address they use for paypal. You can ask the seller what email address they use for that.
You don't have to use the paypal icons to pay for auctions, you can pay for auctions from paypals site.
