That problem with Paypal and Ebay accounts not being "linked" happened to me last month. It's not related to the snipe service you use. You would have been blocked from bidding in his auction even if you had tried it directly.
I had never heard of it before, but it's set by the seller. Many sellers often require a Paypal account. A few accidentally require the accounts to be linked. It's a 5 minute process to link them.
In my case the seller didn't even know that he had set himself up this way. My snipe was higher than the winning bid, so even if I didn't win, it cost him money. He was more ticked than I was.
