PayPal question

Sorry if this is in the wrong place but I just have a quick question about my PayPal. I sold a few things on eBay recently and have a little money in there I want to keep for Christmas. I want to keep it separate (if not it will get spent!) and wondering if I can transfer more money from the current account it is linked to in there as a little savings pot for Christmas. It won't be a lot of money so loss of interest etc. isn't a concern - I was just wondering if/how I go about it?


thank you x

    You can do it two ways:


    1. log onto Paypal and use the 'add money' link this will effectively direct debit your bank account (takes 3-4 days)


    2. set up a payee on your bank account to Paypal. Their sort code is 23-52-62 and account 98675767. You need your Paypal ID as a reference - mine is 15 characters long and looks like this: C1E5NKE3xxxxxxx


    You should be able to Google how to do it - also check the sort code/account number above!
  • Yes you can indeed, the details mt99 have given above are correct and I also have a 15 character reference number but of a different format to above.
    I've set up a standing order to cover a recurring payment from my paypal account.
  • Fantastic! Thank you so much xx
