How can I use my iPhone 6 to make purchases through my iTunes account that is set up with paypal?
iPhone 6, iOS 4.3
Hi
Apple Pay does not presently support making payments using your iTunes account or via PayPal.
Another in the growing list as to why I avoid using anything Apple
Isn't that what this says you can do? What am I not understanding?

iPhone
One touch to pay with Touch ID. Now paying in stores happens in one natural motion — there’s no need to open an app or even wake your display thanks to the innovative Near Field Communication antenna in iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s. To pay, just hold your iPhone near the contactless reader with your finger on Touch ID. Or you can double-click the Home button when your iPhone is locked to access Wallet and quickly make your purchases. Your card number is never stored on your device, and when you pay your debit or credit card numbers are never sent to merchants. Apple Pay assigns a unique number for each purchase, so your payments stay private and secure.

Depending on your location (you must be located in a country where Apple Pay is available), Apple Pay can be used with supported debit cards, credit cards and/or store cards.
It is not possible to add either PayPal or your iTunes account to Apple Pay as one of your sources of payment.
If you already have a supported credit or debit card on file directly with iTunes (ie not via PayPal), you may be able to add that card to Apple Pay a little more quickly and conveniently than how you would add other cards.
To set up Apple Pay on your iPhone, follow the instructions here:
Set up and use Apple Pay on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
You will need a supported payment card from a participating issuer:
Apple Pay participating banks and store cards - Apple Support

Your question (the title of this thread) referred to Apple Pay.
However, if you instead meant to ask how to set up your iPhone and iTunes / Apple ID account (using PayPal as your payment method) to make purchases in the iTunes Store, App Store, iCloud and for other Apple services, then follow the instructions here:

I was on the Apple pay page.
Video on link from that page is above and says Apple Pay. In the video it says/shows setting up by opening wallet app, choosing plus button, choose next
to add card already in your itunes account.
You say Apple Pay does not presently support making payments using your iTunes account.
Regardless, is no add card option as in the video.
I want to have my iphone6 to be able to make purchases via my card already in my itunes account (Like it says in the video).

The information that I provided is correct. To recap:
PayPal is not a supported payment method.
This still only adds your payment card, not your (separate) iTunes account.

To be able to set up Apple Pay on your iPhone 6, you presently need to be located within either Australia, Canada, Mainland China, the UK or the US.
Your iPhone must also have that country as your selected region: Settings > General > Language & Region > Region - set as appropriate.
It must also be running a certain version of iOS, depending on the country (Australia: iOS 9 or later, Canada: iOS 9 or later, UK: iOS 8.3 or later, US: iOS 8.1 or later).
You will also need to follow the other instructions here:
