Using PayPal money as eBay credits

[jwoody8]

Hi guys.

I have noticed that you can receive funds into a new PayPal account without having to link it to a bank account. You only need to link your bank account in order to withdraw the funds.

Now I'm just wondering for a low activity account, if you can simply make some sales on eBay then use the money in your PayPal account to buy other things on eBay you actually want or spend it on the thousands of sites that now accept PayPal, effectively meaning you are just spending PayPal tokens.

Anyone got any experience with this?

I would imagine this is paypals idea of a perfect account as you just intend to put the money back in the system so they get another lot of charges from the next guy .
Will work fine upto your limits but i dont really see the point unless your just looking to swap some stuff with other people and not make any money and i dont think its the answer in trying to build a decent account as the limits will always be low until you add an account .

i tried before it works

i know somebody who does this, its a lot more hassle and you make less money but if you dont want to open bank accts its doable

I get what you are saying but last I checked:

'Paypal tokens' are money

-AND-

'Ebay credits' are money

All you are saying is just making money on ebay to spend on ebay. Ridiculous

Well stated fm888.

But on the side point, yes it can be done - just keeping the money circulating in pp for eB purchases...pp LOVES that...keep taking its cut from other sellers
