Activity: 0% Longevity: 93% | | Gift Card or Bank...what's the difference?
In setting-up for seller's fees, what is the difference if you give Ebay a gift card # (visa/vanilla) or you give them your bank info.?
When you get snagged on Ebay, the whole ship has to go down too. Ebay account will be ng, pp account will be ng...so why not give them the bank account that was used to verify pp with?
Am I missing something or it does it make a difference?
Hope I am being clear in what I am asking...in other words...
If your ebay account may get suspended, why bother giving them a Card # for sellers fees because if that ebay account goes down, so does the PP account & the bank that you used to verify PP with. Why waste a card # on sellers fees?

Hi- I think you're asking is it ok to give ebay your personal bank acct info? Some folks don't want eb or pp into their accts...also if all of your info doesn't match- it won't work..You can regulate it with the gift cards..Also- I pay them with multiple gift cards several times/month..to stay ahead and not let the fees back up on me... Btw-even after I had a pp acct go down...I've used that gift card up on eb fees...they haven't caught it yet..its been 3-4 months now...

If eBay has your banking info they can continue to charge you after you're suspended, if just a giftcard they're limited to what you have on the card. That's the difference.

Yeah they will dip into it if you owe them anything, best to use one time payments w/ gift cards..

Activity: 0% Longevity: 94% | | Paying eBay Fees Through PayPal
Hey all,
I know that paypal cannot get the actual name on your legit bank account, they only verify the numbers, etc.
But I had something that stumped me. If I am going to use PayPal to pay my ebay fees and I never have any money in it and I have my bank account set as the "backup" on paypal, when they withdrawal the money from my legit US bank account, will they be able to get my actual info???
I know for a fact that they can't when they put money in (i.e. those 2 initial deposits), but can they get that info when they take money out of your legit bank account?
Any ideas??

Ive done it with the bank account but it was a couple years ago. I used to use my moms bank account, well it was my account but it was in my moms name (different first & last name, and different address) and never had a problem..

so then theres no way they would be able to link that to my suspended account then? my bank acct has my actual name (that is suspended on ebay/paypal) and my new paypal acct had an alias. So if the new pp act takes money out of my legit bank account (the acct numbe was never used before), then there is no way they can tie the two together?

I have the same thing going on:
Have a new pp account w/⊗⊗⊗⊗ info. Have a new bank account w/real info. (of course) which is backing-up the pp account. As a small tester on new Ebay account, I made a small purchase. Like yourself, I have no funds in my pp account, so I transferred small amount from bank account to pp.
I do not believe they have access to real name on bank account. If they did, then we would all be nailed when do that small deposit-thing .11 & .06 in our bank accounts for verification.

Activity: 0% Longevity: 93% | | Does EBAY charge fees to PayPal if credit card or bank account will not work for them
I gave it a good 4 day read around here, and could not come up with information needed. :( Perhaps someone can answer or link me to what I need to know.
Obviously my eBay account is suspended, and of course, I'm not paying them fees. I had it setup to automatically charge bank account, I closed that. Then they charged my card, I filed chargeback.
Now question is, would they charge PayPal?

Ebay says 6 months. In my experience, they don't do it right away and haven't done it to me but I haven't waited more than a month.

I tried some gift2go cards. The ones at the store for $100 cost the same as allaccess, which is $5.95. I remember them cheaper on their website but I don't want to have to wait 2 weeks for cards in the mail. Gift2go also has this "register your card" and then it puts in the name and address, but I'm not sure if you can change what's registered as I have not tried.

Well, you can't pay fees with a limited account, so I doubt they will take fees from it.

My paypal accounts are linked to $1 gift card and opened/the immediately close ⊗⊗⊗⊗ bank account. Never give them any real info, just keep hammering away at them. They might close 5 or 10 accounts on you, but eventually something will get by them.

To clarify what I said, on an ebay help document ebay stated that after 6 months ebay would charge unpaid balances to your paypal account.

Yep, thanks Jonas, thanks aspkin, thatks all.
Now I know what I need to do. I need to close down my old (linked) PayPal account, which was open since 2003. It is not limited or anything, and I'm still using it to buy things. But I don't want eBay charge me. Thus it has to go.
BUT,
Right away I'm opening a new account.

Activity: 0% Longevity: 94% | | Paying Fees
Do you think paying 3 ebay account fee's with one credit card will cause my accounts to be linked? I dont want to get all 3 suspended if one of them does.
Please advise.
