Stealth PayPal and bank accs question

[MrCartay]

The account I have set up on my stealth PP, can I add and withdraw funds via the account directly? Or does it always have to go via the prepaid Visa card on the account?

I'm with Entropay. Not sure if I can receive credit on that and transfer it to my account?

Withdrawal of funds ALWAYS goes to the bank account.

If you buy stuff ALWAYS use the paypal balance or prepaid card as the funding source, NEVER the bank account.

Just to clarify, funds should only ever go from Paypal to the bank account and never from the bank account to Paypal.

OK great. What about the PayPal direct debit thing they want you to set up? Is it OK to set it up?

[Ebayorbust]

Yes, by all means set it up but once again, never allow money to actually go from the bank account to paypal. It is the dd mandate that "allows" this to happen.

You won't be able to verify the Paypal account unless you submit the dd mandate as the 4 digit code is only sent after the dd mandate is submitted.

Ok Cheers. How do I prevent PayPal from trying to take ebay fees and the like from the bank account directly?

Oh and last question, do I want to link and confirm my Entropay card?

By paying the fees using "one off payments" throughout the month. This allows you to keep control of the funding source and nothing is left to chance.

That's going to be defined in my eBay settings then, right? I need to make sure it's not set on Auto payments. I'll have a look at it during my dinner.

I set up all my accounts to pay the fees automatically from Paypal however I always make one-off payments (once a week before I withdraw) so that no money is ever taken automatically.

Never had an issue in 5 years.

Have a look at when payments will be withdrawn and just pay well in advance with the VCC
