Placing a Card on File

[jm091804]

This will be my 3rd time since I used it up to pay the ebay fees. Is it best to get another card with like $10 and only use it for that purpose and use another prepaid card to pay fees. I know this might be a dumb question we can pay fees with paypal right?

thanks again

Yes, I have paid all my fee's with Paypal.....It's not a problem.

Same,here , i just use my available paypal funds and make a one time payment 5 days before they automatically take it out

Oh okay so Dont need to buy prepaid cards then, just use paypal to pay the fees. I thought it was a risk I thought I read that somewhere.

I see so must have funds so it doesn't touch your checking account?

thanks again

There are two options.

Using paypal or using a card.

Advantage of a card is paypal can never touch your bank account and so you control youe own money.

Here's a thread on the topic:

Works like a charm for me even these days.

okay so I if I have prepaid CC on file even if its $0 as long as I pay my fees before they try to use it will be fine then right. Makes sense now. Ebay tried taking out of a prepaid card I had no money I guess they found out its no good.

I guess I have to pay before deadline hehe,

NO paypal for me could be a risk.

thanks again

This is the best way to do it, also if you know your account is on the way out for whatever reason just remove the Paypal and then add a VCC to the account for the fee's and reimbursement.

The best way is to never let paypal touch your bank account.

Keep control of your own business always.

Removing the pp itself doesnt end the agreement however - pay the fees in advance is best option.

Paying fee's in advance is the best method for a solid running account, I agree with what was suggested 100%, my advice was more of a tip in regards to a dead account.

By removing the Paypal and adding a VCC before your invoice eBay is due they will not be able to source funds from the Paypal account any longer, the same of course with reimbursement method. Do both at the same time to protect your funds if the eBay plug is pulled.
