Paying through paypal?

Okay, so I would like to buy this item, however I can't because it says that I have to add a credit card or debit card to my paypal.

Or must I own a debit/credit card to make this work? more…

Asking a question about an item

I saw an item that interested me and I sent a question to the seller. I got a reply in e-mail form but when I checked the listing for the item later it said that NO Questions had been asked about the item. I think that most questions are asked to verify or find out some additional information about an item and those questions may have a bearing on whether to bid or not. I am curious as to why some questions are not being posted on the item's listing. So the obvious question is Why. more…
