Paypal/dd.

Hi I'm trying to set up a paypal direct debit so that it can be one of the two I need for the Co op switch. However when I go onto the paypal website and click on where it says paypal moves money from your bank account and I click continue nothing happens. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong please.

    I don't know the direct answer to your question, but the alternative is to set yourself up with a Tesco savings account and then you can set up as many dd's as you like to enable you to pull monies from your current account/s to it.

    In fact there are two Tesco savings accounts so why not open both of them and they will be useful for you to service all current accounts that need two different dd mandates setting up.

    Hi thanks. I ve already set one Tesco account up for one of them but was going to use PayPal for the other. I don't think I ll be doing anymore now.

    Why don't you simply apply for the Tesco savings account that you don't yet have and then once it's up and running online you can use that for the second direct debit mandate that you require?

    You need to add a bank account in paypal, then follow the instructions.

    If it still doesn't work (maybe if you opened the paypal account years ago) close the paypal account and open a new one.
