well its my first time using Ebay. i got an account and a Paypal account yesterday. So, today i tried bidding on a cell phone, i put 5.00 as my maximum bid. i confirmed it, but everytime i try this page pops up saying: You can increase the activity limits on your account by taking one or more of the following actions:

1. Sign Up For PayPal

Registration is free and you do not have to pay with PayPal.

PayPal is the best way to pay for your purchases on eBay and offers 00 in buyer protection.
Existing PayPal account holders can click here to link their account.

2. Verify using a Credit Card
Process is immediate and your card will not be charged.
Important: only available for Visa Credit and Mastercard.

so i linked my account.. and it says that Ebay and Paypal was successfully linked but it may take up to a few hours until i can bid. so i waited for a day.. and i tried again AND THAT PAGE STILL POPPED UP.. HOW DO I BID?! thanks.
