Bank attached to Paypal closed, how to pay eBay fee?

akinsmile · #1 10-03-2014

My account have $0 balance and around $200 pending. Yesterday eBay charge me fee (around $25), since the balance if $0, it chargeed the bank. However my bank account has been closed, It can charge. Today I receive an email from paypal said that the bank was closed so eBay can't charge me fee. In this situation:
+ How can I pay eBay selling fees? Can I waive it until the next month and pay it or wait until my balance is available? Is eBay automatically charge from my bank account everyday or one a week, biweekly or monthly after that?
+ Now paypal know that my bank is closed, does it require me to add a new one soon? How about the chance of getting limited?

I appreciate your help of you guys very much!

What happened for the account to be closed?

You have to take action or expect troubles.

Currently there is no problem with my paypal account. I just wonder about the chance getting trouble.
My eBay is still ok right now, except I haven't paid the selling fee yet.

Should I transfer $30 from another stealth paypal account to this account? How long it takes for eBay to charge me the second time?

Pay your fees with a VCC or gift card. Don't transfer from one pp to other

Don't you guys pay your ebay fees using paypal? I know all my accounts are setup like this. Even my USA 2nd main account. Why make life harder?

I always pay my fees with my paypal balance as well. Though it seems like akinsmile has money in the account but is dealing with holds and currently has a $0 usable balance.

There are Vanilla Visa gift cards which you can use to pay the balance. There's even one available in a $25 denomination.

This is why I only sell 1 item on a newer account then wait until funds are released then start selling even more. The first item I let it sit in the account in case of a refund, or paying fees, and future shipping at times but after the first time you pay shipping the rest of the time you can get credit for it on ebay with paypal.

Next time go slow sell 1 item wait until it's delivered use tracking get released funds within XX amount of days. A few times I even called paypal or ebay years ago to get funds released saying customer left me feedback + it got there. But normally once it shows delivered and customer got it the system should give it to u on it's own.

Always leave some money in your Paypal account to pay fees or to refund a buyer so you dont end up with a negative balance. I always leave about $150 in mine.

Because I never allow paypal the luxury or idea of touching my bank account.

It's all about control for me.

We know how unreliable paypal are.

I use other options and keep control.

Never need to worry about what the prying eyes of paypal might see.

My accounts they can't touch because in my country it's set up where you have to send the money from your bank to another bank with a code for them to add it to your paypal. And they can not pull out funds. I had one customer do 2 charge backs on 2 accounts at the same time trying to scam the system. She has done this with other sellers as well.

Anyways one account had -$50 right away I transfered from another PP into this account and it's good in the end I won the case and got the funds released. So not worried no more. I just leave enough to pay fees now days. But when I first get the account up and running I leave funds there for the 1st refund etc.

You sure are a fighter GB!

Good point - I usually leave 4-5x my average sales amount on that account

It's part preference and part avoiding eB dipping + potentially causing limitation

I been doing it for years Rsot with my main account both of them EU and USA. Paying using paypal never had a problem even my stealths.

As long as they get their money they are happy. So why even have the option of paying from paypal account? It seems a lot easier to me and in their eyes it's why they got this option for us all no?

There's an old thread by TGMT squared (or is it HWGA? - been awhile since I read it) that deals with reasons of avoiding paying fees with PP.

The main point is avoiding the AUTOMATIC withdrawal by eBay...
