Bank Accounts that are not 'linked'
 

Aside from the topic that I posted yesterday I wondered if anyone had any knowledge on this scenario...

I have account A and account B that are limited for 180 days. Neither have a bank account attached and both unverified. 180 days passes and PayPal ask for my banking details to withdraw funds. I create a bank account that has never been LINKED to PayPal (in that it has never been used to verify any PayPal account). No verification process is required so I stick the new details onto account A and have the funds withdrawn.

My question is: Is this bank account now 'linked' to PayPal or would it be possible to use on account B also?

The only reason I am confused over this is because, technically, the new bank account has not been used to verify any account and has only been used as a means to withdraw cash after the 180 day-hold.

Any thoughts?

Cheers

MY experience is that you can't use the same bank account with pa yp al, verification done or NOT.

I just tried this on 2 sep accounts in limitation and I got the message that can't be done.

I had written this in your other thread - you need a diff bank account for each =(

Now, maybe other folx know of ways getting around this. If so, feel free to PM me - I am up for learning...I would NOT post this kind of info on this thread because it is part of an OPEN forum - no offense to you mattytman.

I have not tried this yet but, why not log into one paypal account and invoice the other for some kind of product or services. Then log into the other and pay the invoice. just take the hit on the paypal fees. The withdraw the money from that pp account to your bank.

I would not do this to many times thou has it could cause them to be linked if they see alot of transactions between the 2 accounts. But maybe a one time ordeal would fly under the radar.

Just a suggestion

Hi - I don't think that's an option here in the UK. There is only an option to 'withdraw funds' or 'refund buyers'. I can't send it to another paypal account as there will be a limitation preventing the 'send money' option...

I know what rsot is saying...but I'm just not sure because they are not 'storing' the bank details for the withdrawal are they? I mean it's ok for someone to have like 4 PayPal accounts (providing they're Kosher). If they all got limited - and bank removed - then why would they not allow the payments to be withdrawn to the same account?

Ok mattytman - I just withdrew to a bank account on an old limited pa yp al account.

Few days later after receiving the amount, I also saw 2 small deposits and an e-mail from pa yp al asking to Confirm my bank account!

So yes, when you put the info in - they auto do a confirmation deposit - at least on pp Canada they do and pp US.

Wow!

I've never had that in doing a few from limited accounts over here in UK. That is pretty confusing. Maybe they don't do that after you receive the 'parting of ways' email?! As I'm guessing one of the 'to do' things get the account unlimited may be to 'confirm bank'. So, 180 days later, they assume that's what you are doing?! If you get the 'Appeal Denied' email then they don't want to confirm the bank...

Maybe I should open a zillion savers accounts with Natwest - they are apparently 'unlimited'. But if I open 50 and get £400 transferred to each one - methinks the bank will be knocking at my door...or worse :-(

I have been able to use my Barclay's current account 3 times now all on different paypal accounts, but NOW I can't use any more I tried to use it on a 4th paypal account and it now says it's already registered on another account.

you used the same account on 3 diff pa yp al accounts?!? I must be off on my method then - you just add, withdraw, and remove? Hmm...

I am guessing that on the 3 try 2 small deposits were made? Check that - that could be the difference.

i used a bank account to soley withdraw after the 180 day limit and no two deposits where sent, i could also not use it a second time in PP to withdraw after 180 as it said already registered to another account

Yes, I was just adding, withdrawing and then removing and yes on the 3rd time, the two deposits were made.

Barclay's cash card accounts are good, I thought I would only get a cash card but the letter states I'm getting a debit card (Visa).

So the 2 deposits is the key to avoid. When you were withdrawing and then removing the account - how quickly? Right after you clicked Withdrawal or waited for funds to arrive?

There just might be a way to reuse if timed well.

Cheers for the suggestion...it's got me thinking...

I know full well that I'm going down for a six month stretch as soon as I get about £400-£500 into my unverified accounts. I guess I may as well use my own name on all of them! Then they can send me a cheque - lol.

How long does it take for the CCJ to make them cough up?

Cheers
