    You actually still can. If you select your linked bank account as the funding source for PayPal purchases (not your debit/credit card), it will draw funds by direct debit from your bank account to make the payment.

    I also have a direct debit from Paypal. Think its still there (although maybe they stopped new ones - try it out!).
    Don't spend time saving less money than you could earn in that time on minimum wage...:laugh:
  • it is still working well with PP as DD
  • That's good, because PP is e DD which doesn't cost anything - you just set it up and it lasts forever without anything more needing to be done!

    But thats just for purchases. You cant top up your paypal account via DD then transfer it back to account which is something that people actually want to do.

    So PP-wise, if you have it set up as a DD and keep no money in the PP account then just make sure and buy something via PP once a month - would that do the trick as being a monthly active DD?

    Yes you can
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

    In other words you need to set up 2 paypal accounts and pay yourself via paypal?
