Help with Pay Pal please.
I would love to buy on ebay and IF I won the Pilates machine bid would have to find a way to pay, as our always pay by cheque is too slow for some sellers :( as they want the cash NOW.
..
Do we HAVE to give our bank details to have a Pay Pal?
I thought we could just put lets say $1,000 into a Pay Pal account and draw on that with no strings to our main account?
No? yes? I just looked up the join up form for Pay Pal but it almost wants to know how often we go to the loo.
..
May as well give the card (maybe just get another card and put some money in that?) What is the use of Pay Pal if they have our main bank account number anyway?
..
We only use Credit Cards where we can physically sign for goods so never over the phone or computer so a bit dilly on the procedures of Pay Pal so is there another way anyone. KFC you would know?
We never use Direct Debit...right or wrong we would not do this ever.
Thanks folks and double thanks if anyone has the answer :)
You could open a new account at the bank for say $1,000 just for your purchases on ebay but you will need to give them that account number. We once bought something from a man in China but Paypal refused to pay him so he was obviously a bad risk and not approved by them. I have never had any trouble, they are efficient and safe IMO and you have an instant record of your purchases, when you bought it, and how much you paid.
