Odd.
I would have expected anybody's PayPal limit would be lower than the
associated credit card limit.
Logically, one should be therefore able to get a PayPal account without a

You can get a Paypal account without a credit card. I think all you
need is a bank account.
In fact, every time I try to buy something with Paypal, it defaults to
taking the money from my bank account, and every time I need to change
it to take it from my credit card.
I appear to have a $10,000
Perhaps. That opens the possibility of linking a PayPal account to a bank
account, then zeroing the balance. Somehow, I doubt that actually works.

That works just fine. I have two Paypal accounts, one tied to my regular bank
account which I use for purchases, and another tied to a small account at a
local bank (where I keep almost nothing) which I use for selling. As soon as
money goes into that account I use an ATM to withdraw cash,

If agilentused is selling stuff on eBay, might not the PayPal be an eBay

Fer sure, eBay really, really pushes PayPal because they get an additional
cut of the transaction.

I'm sure many on this list will have had bad experiences with eBay
and/or Paypal. I've had a fair few myself, but the following is the

Agilent - not some reseller of Agilent equipment.
The only winners are eBay and Paypal,
