screwed up with echeque payment i made
 

hi guys

think i may have screwed up, as i have sent funding from my legit bank account to my paypal account this morning, (which takes 5 days), but also, i have paid for an item with echeque this morning,

i know i have messed up from reading the threads, so how do i wriggle out of the problem of paypal seeing my real bank account details and the echeque going through?

can i cancel the direct debit with my bank to paypal so that paypal cant complete the transfer and thus see my real details? also, will this direct debit cancellation also cancel the echeque payment?

if so then great, as i can then get a pp card and fund my paypal account with that and pay the guy for the thing i bought one bay, and then relink my bank account to my paypal account..

what a balls up - what an idiot!

any help or advice, greatly appreciated.

Are you sure they'll see your info?

it is possible they see it - not 100%, but if there's a check or a system algorithm that checks, the account has had it.
It's up to you if you want to take the gamble.
You can cancel the direct debit online in your payments section in your online bank.
Then simply, redo it later.
Ive done this on my real account, but not a stealth - Im extra careful - those echeques can catch you out.

sometimes the name shows.....but it is only an issue if there are probs with the acc or a dispute or some reason for a manual review, it has been mentioned alot on the forum, so alot of people have done it, just avoid and you should be ok.....I have done it too, nothing happened, I am pretty sure nothing happens automatically, which is what you are worried about? oh and gender matters and for once it is in the girls favour....jane smith on bank and jane jones on paypal - reasonable explanation right?
