    Or set up a PayPal direct debit to fund any PayPal purchases from your bank account. Loads of businesses take PayPal (in the last couple of days I ordered a Dominos pizza delivery and ordered something from Boots online) so it's quite easy to have that as a direct debit firing every so often.

    The above suggestion would work, but check the T&Cs of the account. Some of them say it has to be a direct debit that pays out every month, not just a direct debit setup. If that's the case then you'd need to make sure you buy something via Paypal every month for it to qualify. I do a similar thing with my credit card direct debit, but need to make sure I buy something on the card each month (not an issue for me, I just use it to pay a bill for my business and then pay myself back).

    You don't even need to buy something with Paypal every month to pull on the DD. Set it up against your bank account and then go in to Paypal once a month and use that to pull funds in to your Paypal balance (from the app: Manage Paypal balance -> Add money) for say £1. That will draw a DD for £1. Then leave it in Paypal for when you next buy something, or go back in and withdraw it to your bank account. No fees either way.

    You can have at least two bank accounts tied to your Paypal account, but I don't know if there's an upper limit.

    OK... but it is an option if you wanted to start using it to generate yourself a DD.

    PayPal can be very useful if you shop online as it avoids having to give your credit or debit card details to lots of retailers or individual sellers on platforms like eBay.

    And it handily creates DDs when you need them;)
