  • soo - i upgraded my paypal account to have a linked current account for selling, and now it automatically takes money from there when i buy. can i get it to put my spending on my credit card? (sorry if this is really basic - it's not exactly vital, but sometimes it would be nice to have some extra time before paying a credit card bill!)

    If there is any balance in your paypal acocunt then that will always be used before any other payment method. So to make sure you only use your credit card via paypal clear your paypal account out so that you show a nil balance.

    Does any one else know? Monkey spanner what are these small amounts? is it like the put 1p into ur account and then request a refund?

    From memory they were about 15p-25p and Nadia is right that was paypal and they don't ask for it back. Its the only time you will get anything from them!
  • I have just started selling in the past month or so. To upgrade to sellers account you have to input your credit card details OR your bank account details. I looks like you have to enter both but you do not. You have to give your bank details to paypal so that they can verify you account by depositing two small ammounts of money into your bank account.
