Paying eBay fees with Bank account?
 

Is it a good idea to pay eBay fees with a bank account if the account is stealth?

The reason being is i hate buying green dots every month and i fear that paying with so many different card numbers will get me suspended.

I know that they cant know your location with your bank number so will this work?

Thank you!!!

First of all how did you register the ebay account with a green dot card? I thought there were very few cards that worked anymore for ebay.

If you have a bank account for stealth why not just have your monthly fees come out of your Paypal account with that bank account as your backup funding source?

I would not pay my fees with my bank account. I do not want paypal having direct access to my money via my bank account. That the point of using gift cards, you control what they are able to take. They can only access what you put on the card.

If you don't have any Paypal accounts verified with bank accounts how do you get your money out?

I didnt say that I didnt have any paypal accounts verified with bank accounts. I have a bank account attached to each of my paypal account to withdraw money.

Basically what I was eluding to in the first place.
I always try to keep enough in the Paypal account to pay the fees out of the Paypal balance and not to access the funds in my bank account

Gotcha, to each his own, everyone has a different method that may work for them. I myself prefer using a gift card to pay fees. I choose that as my automatic payment method so once they money is gone the card will be declined when ebay trys to take money out.

I only do this b/c I never know when the "automatic recurring ebay fees" payment is going to show up. It seems they are never consistant on the day they collect for fees. I have tried to document it but it seems to change. I thought they take fees on the 19th of every month.

You can pay ebay with your paypal account, withdrawing from bank account. Seems to be stronger for your eBay account if you use a separate card to pay off the fees though.
