I just looked and i have my PayPal address and my bank details on there but they pay me by PayPal? Lol that's confusing lol xx0 -
I would like to put credit card details on there at Bare because I'm told credit card exchange rates are the best ones.0

This where I am getting confused. On the shopper details page I put in my paypal email address but then said that my profile was not complete until I entered my bank details and wouldn't get all jobs until I did. Do I have to inform then I only want paypal payments? I've not done any work for them because of the charges.
Thanks for the info on the Co op bank workie ticket.0 -

Yes, it's ticked as well as my paypal email entered but the system was still wanting my bank details hence my confusion.
If it appears that people who have ticked the paypal box and entered bank details are being paid by paypal automatically then I may be worrying over nothing.0 -
You have to enter bank details but also tick the box if you want PayPal payments. BTW I hope you all have business accounts with PayPal as they have started to crack down and are freezing accounts that do not appear to be just personal.0

Cool, had a business account for years as I do some eBay affiliate stuff along with a few sales on the site.
Anyone who does do a lot of Paypal stuff I can recommend the Paypal Access Card https://www.paypal-marketing.co.uk/accesscard0 -
Got onto Bare a little while ago.
Talking of which could anyone who does work for Bare let me know of any banks that don't charge outrageous amounts for receiving payments in Euros. My bank (RBS) charges £7 per transaction!
I know this info has been posted in the past but must be an older thread as not having much luck using search function.
Many thanks!

GAP money in the banks!
Also I use a cashcard account with Halifax for my BARE payments and I dont get charged any fees. The bank send me a letter after the payment has been made confirming the Euros paid and what the exchange rate was when I received them.......
