Putting money into my PayPal account

[Bo55]

Hi. I've read on these forums the need to get some positive feedback back into your account. The best suggestion I've seen is to buy lots of cheap items and increase your feedback that way. That seems ok but you need money in your PayPal account to pay these sellers. My question is : how can I pay into my stealth pp account. I could sell some items but with a zero feedback then it doesn't look good to buyers. Thanks

Add a VCC to your Paypal account and use it as the funding source when you buy stuff. DO NOT use the attached bank account as the funding source and DO NOT add funds to your paypal account from the bank account.

You don't need to have a balance in your pp account to buy stuff. The VCC will be charged when you complete the purchase on Ebay / Paypal.

Yes use a VCC that has funds to use on it.

and i find that zero feedback doesn't necessarily put buyers off

other factors do that

Am I right in saying 3V is good for this?

Are their any other recommended VCC that can be used in the UK?

Thanks for replies. I have a vcc from entropay with £20 in linked to pp. Will PayPal take the money from their automatically for my purchases or will I have to set it up as The Funding Source ??

You get the choice at checkout as to which funding source you want to use. It usually defaults to the bank account so you need to change it to the Entropay VCC.
