So I messed up and missed my date on the 15th for the fees. I always pay a one time payment on the 14th so they don't charge my card. The problem is the card I used to sign up with has no balance. When ebay goes to charge me and comes back denied what happens? Can I make a payment then and be ok? OR do they suspend me right away till I pay the fees?

Last time it happened to me they still gave me a chance to pay immediately with another credit card or Paypal account. I'm not sure if they do the same thing now.

HI- usually been giving you at least 7 days...
I forgot about 1 acct a couple weeks ago, when i logged in , it was 3 days late, i then paid with 3 diff $100 gift cards, it owuld only take 3 in 1 day, I then went back the next day, and used 2 more..
>> UNbelievably, they are LESS worried about fees, than about "abusing" ???
BTW--you may wanna PM MOdee , I believe he has a chart of some sort,with pay dates/cancel dates ? he may be able to give u some tips on ebay deadlines, for fees?
He def. knows the ropes...

I had a late payment like you said and contacted them to give alternative for the one time only. Did a bit of b***t paid up and was advised to read the Help questions. Anyhow can't you blame the bank because it was President's W/E
and they did a stuff up.... and Meg sat on the floor.... and....

From peoples expreinces what is the best way to pay your ebay fees when you have been suspended and have setup new ebay/paypal accounts using different address details????

[powerbid]

the best way is to click pay one time fees then go ahead to pay fees via paypal.. but donot login to your paypal account.. just pay using credit card method without signing in.. this has worked for me on 3 accounts which are not associated with paypal account.. i have been using one credit card to pay on all these three.. no problem wat so ever..

i have learnt from my previous mistake.. and got suspended.. paid via ebay system and not paypal within hours i was suspended..

[thelizardking]

If you are using a new Paypal account you can use Paypal one time payment. I use it every time. It helps getting the balance down and I do it before I withdraw. Ebay and PP like that.

[Chris Hanson]

I use giftcards to pay one time payment

[aspkin]

It really depends. If you're already linked to Paypal then Paypal will work.

But you can also pay with a giftcard, prepaid card, or even a money order.

When paying the fees using this method, does it matter if the card is in my real name and address?

[thelizardking]

Surfer-Yes it matters if that info is blacklisted, buy a giftcard and register it to the same address, name, and zip on your account.

[powerbid]

lizardking it doesnt matter atall i have been doing this technique i.e paying one time fees using my own credit card with real info via paypal.. but yes if your paypal account was suspended or limited than paypal will nail you otherwise it would be ok

[thelizardking]

Hmm. I had an account limited (In Sept 07) and the only thing I could think of was I used a card with the same info as a limited/suspended account (different card number) to pay fees with one time payment.

[k1ley4evr]

at first it didnt, when i tried again a few days later it worked.

[koalawash]

I think it's Vanilla Visa that doesn't work anymore. Recent posts suggest that gift2go is still okay to use.

[becca073]

I used a vanilla visa to pay my fees back in Jan. So you guys are saying now it no longer works?

[Killed by Ebay]

I use both and paid my fees 2 weeks ago with both a vanilla and gift2go card
