    Don't keep money in your Paypal account, always transfer it to your bank account as soon as you get it!

    we only keep enough in there to pay ebay fees and a tiny bit more in case we see something we want to buy, do you know if the £15 would be transferable though please?

    Not sure tbh, but so many websites accept Paypal these days that it won't be difficult to spend :)

    In the T&Cs i think i states you can spend the £15 on any retailer that takes Paypal. ie not transferable to a personal account still a good deal

    Do you reckon we could buy lots to different accounts and then send personal payment's through Paypal, so it is all in 1 account?
