Withdrawing from PayPal Safely..

[Callidus]

Hi all,

Just wanted some of your thoughts... what happens for instance if I withdraw a small amount at a time from PayPal and eventually get to about £10 then someone opens a case for a refund it would then take me into minus figures...

To make the money back up instantly to break even as this is red flags to PP can you add money direct from a CC or does it have to be from the BANK? If I put money in there from my bank I might aswell ring them up and hand myself in.

Is it ok to add funds to the account via a CC (entropay) to bring it back into the plus?

Cheers in advance

Always leave enough money in your Paypal account to cover at least one refund (unless your dealing in mega expensive items, in which case wait until feedback is received before withdrawing).

You cant add funds to account from a cc, only bank account, which is not advisable.

Ok thats what I wanted to hear.

Didnt think you could from a CC and knew from a BANK ACCOUNT well I might aswell hand myself in.

Would you not leave more in there than for one refund? My items are roughly £14 vary slightly but only lower.

Only way to add funds from a VCC to clear a negative balance in PP is once your account is in negative...buy any cheap item on eBay...PayPal will not only charge the item price to your card also the amount owing to your PP account!

You can add money to your paypal account via MoneyPak witch can be found in any walmart store.....

Log in to your PayPal account.
Click Add Funds at the top of the page.
Click Add Funds from a Green Dot MoneyPak. We'll take you to the secure Green Dot website, where you'll enter your MoneyPak number and complete your transaction.

Hi

you really should not even consider clearing out the pp account - it makes pp nervous and more cautious towards you.
