Yes, it is troublesome.

i did this, what troubles should i expect is there another way of paying fees on ebay without linking my paypal. i tried adding a gift card to ebay to pay fees but it rejected my gift card,then i read that ebay does not except gift card any more because they are catching on. is there any other options i can try, so i can pay ebay fees without linking my paypal to pay fees without running into problems.

I pay my fees with my B.O.A debit card. I believe you can still use simon cards to pay fees also.

can anyone confirm if simons card still work to pay ebay fees. be cause i read some threads in here that ebay doent accept simons to verify ebay anymore, but will they accept simons to pay seller fees?

Yes that is correct, the last confirmed report was on 8-31-09

can simon account be used to pay ebay fee?

thanks lakeman for confirming that. 1 more question when making a payment with a simons card, do i use the (make a one time payment using a different option) choice. or use the (pay seller fees with a credit card option?)

So you BOA debit card has all you real name and info, and you use it to pay stealth ebay account with xxxx info?

If it is safe, I want to do the same. I have a BOA debit card with real info. My suspended account has same real info too, but I have not used that BOA debit card with the suspended account.

When I make payment, I just put xxxx info match with the stealth account and the BOA debit card number, is that correct?

Thanks a lot!

Vanilla visa cards work also.....

There are a LOT of cards that work to pay eBay fees.....
See my signature for links.

hi there.

If we select to pay via credit card. Then we link paypal to ebay to sell certain item.

Can they try to withdraw money from our paypal if our credit card balance are not enough?

I don't select to pay my fee via paypal, but I link my paypal to my ebay account.

Thanks

If you link your PP to your ebay and your CC lacks funds, they can and will take your fees from your PP. That's likely the real reason they make up their story about linking PP makes you honest and respectable. To them, 'honest and respectable' means they aren't afraid they'll be left holding the bag some day.

'They can, they will' but worse they DO take the money. They regard your paypal account as THEIRS :pout:

i thought you have to agree for ebay to automatically take the fees from pp?

You do not.

For certain items, brands, or categories - yes. BUT if that does not apply to you, you can be an ebay seller without linking your PP to ebay or setting up automatic fee payments from your PP.

They are deliberately misleading when you sign up. But if you study each word and think about what your eyes are soaking up, the truth becomes clear.

I tried to look for this answer in the forum, but i am too stupid to find it. So i am just going to ask it now.

What are the problems that may arise if i use my stealth paypal account to pay for ebay fees?

thanks!

I want to add that i have been paying my ebay fees via paypal automatic payments and i have had no problems so far. But i am concerned from what i read here.

many thanks!!!

I am actually looking for the answer for the same question.

No you do not

:faint: Just used 'your get out of jail free' card.

aspkin set the SEARCH facility so that it would be EASY to find the info. Learn to use it. :peace:

Ok So Here We Go Again.......

EXAMPLE:
Your STEALTH eBay goes down (NARU) with FEES sitting on the account.
You want to walk away from the account as usual.
You made your PP account the automatic way to pay those fees you want to walk away from.
You have money sitting in your Paypal account from sales on the now NARU eBay account.
You are trying really hard to get those funds into your checking account before the PP disputes start.
You safely pull $495 every other day but you know it will take you a week to get all the funds out safely.
The above happens every day to people in this game.
NOW you log into Paypal one day and see that there is another $250.00 missing from your account.
How could that be? You only had $225 left in there to pull out.
POOF eBay hit you up for their fees.
AND Paypal reversed your last withdraw in order to cover that extra money.
Now you have lost $225 and had a withdraw reversed.
The Paypal flags are really headed up that flag pole now.
BAM.... Your Paypal account in now limited.
You got $470 locked in the account because you chose to pay your eBay fees with Paypal.

Not going to happen to me.... EVER

This is just 1 example of why you should NOT allow ebay unlimited access to withdraw funds from your Paypal account.
But what do I know....
I have only been playing this game for 5+ years full time.
I also like making eBay pay a merchant charge on the credit card transaction.

So remember you can do what to do. That is your choice.

Do it with Entropay virtual card same name etc as your ebay setup
