Paying direct from Bank or CC
 

Hi guys,

I setup my stealth account about 5-6 days ago.

If I want to make a small purchase on eBay and I dont have funds in PP, it is safe im assuming to pay directly from the BANK ACCOUNT or CC attached right?

As long as I dont ADD FUNDS from the bank to PP I can just pay direct from BANK or CC?

Yes thats fine

For the delivery address you could call the seller or email them outside of ebay

Pay directly from the CC attached - avoid the risk of paying from your bank (multiple reasons...all over the posts in this forum).

Thanks for the quick reply Pringles.

Yes will have to email them outside of ebay telling them my username so they know... lets hope they dont print a label with the address I give them thats already limited on another account ...

@rsot - my CC attached is entropay...can pay direct from that after adding funds yes?

yes you pay using entropay. like rsot said, forget about the bank account. dont add/pay from there

Whats wrong with a bank deposit as OP mentions?

from what i have read, paypal can see the real name attached to the bank account if you add funds from it. correct me if im wrong?

Yeah I have also heard paypal can see your real name and even your real address if you pay with your bank

Better only to withdraw with your bank

join now - I know that I told you that in my original post above?..Im talking about paying direct from my BANK but @rsot said its not a good idea (which is fine ill use entropay)

If someone can tell me what they do when wanting to buy something, if I email the seller and say I want it to send my address, if he prints labels through PP and inputs my address im going to be screwed right?

lol i was replying to Pringles

the OP is referring to paying direct from bank, outside of his/her PP acc.. as a bank transfer
some confusion in this thread :pop2:

Pringles - what happens if the address I give to the seller outside of Ebay is put into PP to print a label ?! Would that screw me over..

sorry davey i dont have experience with this so i wouldnt know
the risk is definitely there and quite likely

o sorry i understand now. my bad. i thought you ment paying using your bank through paypal.

is it a high priced item? maybe ask the seller to use a courier?

If you pay with your bank, pp CAN see the info of the TRUE BANK HOLDER NAME if manual review comes into play since a receipt is generated. CC is safer and MORE protection (if you think about it)

rsot has it covered. Listen to them.

OK I will just load entropay VCC and pay with that then

Question you could ask yourself is this one:

is this item you are hoping to buy on ebay worth risking your new account?

99% of the time the item(s) are not.

That out of the way, it's a risk that some self righteous seller might not want to deal with you in that manner & reports you.

That in turn comes back to is this item worth the risk?

Sensibily speaking it is not. Ideally a stealth account is completely accessible for return ot goods or for delivery of purchased goods.

The variations are what will cause grief.

grief causes lost accounts.:doh:

So if I have no funds in my PP account, and buy something or pay someone using PP with the money taken straight from the bank account I added to PP, that's bad?
Sorry, I've got slightly lost...

Basically people advised me not to pay using your bank account if you dont have funds in PP. Use the attached CC or Debit Card

You should always have funds in your paypal account enough for if buyer wants a refund i keep roughly £150 in my paypal account and also if i want to buy something i can buy using my paypal funds.

but im thinking about making a buying account because it is risky if you ask the seller to post to your home address but does the opposite and post the item to stealth address this has happend to me twice.
