Buy crypto with Crypto Dispensers
Buy ETH on Base with PayPal
Use PayPal to check a ETH purchase on Base. Review the provider’s PayPal checkout, its funding source and the external receiving wallet before authorizing payment.
How do I buy ETH on Base with PayPal?
Select the PayPal option attached to the current provider offer. Check the actual funding source and any separate currency-conversion or issuer charge before authorizing the payment.
- In your Crypto Dispensers account, select Ethereum Base chain (ETHBASE) and confirm Base as the receiving network.
- Enter your amount and actual state. Choose PayPal only if the provider returns it for those details.
- Review the complete PayPal charge, estimated ETH received and receiving wallet before authorizing payment.
What will I receive?
Ether is the asset used for Ethereum gas and is also represented on separate layer-2 networks. Each delivery network has its own receiving context.
| Asset | Ethereum (ETH) |
|---|---|
| Receiving network | Base |
| Entry to select in your account | Ethereum Base chain (ETHBASE) |
Check the asset you will receive outside the PayPal funding account
Choose the ETH network that your destination accepts. ETH on Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum and Optimism can share a familiar-looking address while remaining separate network balances.
This flow uses PayPal to fund a provider purchase. It does not establish that the selected crypto will be held in PayPal’s own crypto product. The receiving wallet and network remain part of the provider order.
Which wallet and network should I use?
Select Base in the receiving platform. A matching Ethereum-style address does not establish support for Base delivery or move an existing Ethereum balance onto Base.
Check fees for a later Base transaction in the wallet’s Base balance. Keep any later bridge operation separate from this provider’s direct delivery instructions.
How much will the purchase cost?
Compare the same total US dollar spend across current offers and use the estimated ETH delivered to your wallet as the comparison. Check provider fees, the exchange rate and any separate funding-source charge. A network fee may already be included in the quote; read the breakdown before adding it again.
Why might PayPal be missing?
Check the offer in your Crypto Dispensers account. A coin available through a provider’s PayPal option is not automatically a coin supported inside PayPal’s own crypto balance.
The PayPal option appeared in a read-only MoonPay check for Ethereum Base chain (ETHBASE) in Illinois on November 12, 2026. That check used a $1,000 purchase amount. Your state, amount, account and current provider quote determine your actual options.
US account and provider checks apply. New purchases are unavailable in Georgia, Nevada and Washington State. New York requires an eligible Changelly offer for the exact purchase.

How do I check delivery?
Keep both the PayPal payment record and the provider order reference. Use the provider’s delivery status when checking an external crypto wallet.
What if the payment is pending?
Keep the provider order reference, PayPal payment confirmation and receiving-network details. Check the existing order before attempting another payment. If the wallet is missing a balance, compare its selected network with Base and ask for help through the provider’s verified support channel.
