hi, im encountering a problem with paypal at the moment similar to these and wondered if anyone could help me.... according to them i am 150 off the limitation for the year and they are asking me to set up direct debit thing.... however my account linked is a savings account. I rang them to ask what to do and they said add current account... i then tried this but they said it was linked to another paypal account. i had a different one about 6 yrs ago so it could be linked to that but im sure i closed it down. they then tell me i need to add credit/ debit card which i do not have , they told me to go to bank and get one... i told them bank wont give me one and they said that it has to be a credit card or debit card or do the direct debit??? so 45 mins on the phone to someone i couldnt understand left me in the same situation as before i rang. If anyone can help me i would be grateful

Try using a prepaid card if your bank won't give you one. Paypal (haha!) actually have one of the better ones (Royal Bank of Scotland I think, I have one anyway!), but there are others such as Virgin Money which although not so much good, are a solution.

thankyou did think of that but wasn't sure if anyone had done that, how do you apply and pay for it? Am going away monday so it might have to wait till i get back.

I have got a Paypal one. Its handy for transferring your Paypal balances to:

Virgin have got a reasonable prepaid one. Not as good as the Paypal one but worth a look:
