Quick eBay question - Paypal.

I am currently sorting out my PayPal account and i am up this stage...

Complete Set-up of Bank Funding

PayPal made two small deposits to your bank account. Please enter the amounts exactly as they appear on your bank statement. This process helps to confirm your identity.

Can i still bid on items or do i need to wait for this to be cleared first?

I think you can bid on items because you don't pay anything until you win.

Would the seller not be a bit annoyed i wasn't going to pay straight away? I know i would be.

That is just to verify your account, you can still make payments but you're just not verified yet. i.e. you are who you say you are. Personally I don't deal with unverified paypal ppl but others do.

Depends how quick you pay.....some sellers require immediate payment whereas some are happy for you to take a couple of days - especially if you message them beforehand to inform them that payment will take a bit longer.
