I'm going to be coming to Europe and looking at buying a Eurail pass to cover most of my journey.
Looking at going from Paris to London on the Eurostar however the info i have seen seems conflicting.
I am told i need a seat resevation and when i look on the planner its around 38 Euros.
Then when i researched further im told i need to buy a passholder ticket.
1st of i thought Eurostar was free on the Eurail pass but am i expected to also by a passholder ticket plus a seat reservation as indication by the rail planner its very confusing
Solved
Eurostar seat reservation. Do I need one?

You need only one thing and it is usually called a reservation, which for Paris-London is €38 in 1st and €30 in 2nd class.
Your pass is the ticket.

Yes.
There is a limited number of pass holder seats on the Eurostar between London and mainland Europe. On popular departures and during high season those sell out weeks, and sometimes months in advance.
The best place to see the availability of passholder seats and make reservations on the Eurostar is

If you don't get any result, press "later trains" and eventually you will find the next available connection.
If you have a mobile pass you need to generate a Pass Cover Number in order to make the reservation at b-europe. You do that here in the PCN generator:
