1. Go to the eBay homepage and sign in to your account.

   It doesn't matter what web browser you use to do this, or whether you use a desktop, laptop, or smartphone. Make sure you have your login credentials handy. Store them in a password manager so they're never far away and are secure.

2. Select My eBay to go to your eBay account page. (Alternatively, select your account name, then select Account near the top of the page.)

3. Select PayPal account from the left menu.

4. Select Link my PayPal Account.

5. You're then asked to log in to your PayPal account, providing secondary authentication information if you have that enabled on your account.
