Cash flow problem paypal - ebay - better funding?

Charlieboy · #1 05-09-2014

Hi All

I am a new member to ebay and paypal. I am coming up to the end of my 3 month term, before funds are released instantly after a sale. Until then, I'm suffocated, because I buy quite a few items on ebay and sell this outside. As a result I am spending quicker than I am able to sell or transfer into my paypal account.

I am using the ebay and paypal account from a friend and I don't want to owe him to then have to reinstate him monies on my spending spree – it’s hassle and liberty taking.

I have cash on me, but I am unable to buy again quickly.

Can any of you suggest a cheap simple way for me paying for items on ebay that I could act as a top up card or something? Would I need to register this in my friend’s name or my own?

There wouldn’t be an issue I presume on the payment window after purchasing the item or do I need to make sure the seller accepts a certain transaction?

If you can provide detailed instructions preferably from a UK resident (as each country has different allowances) – that’ll be great.

I have bought the stealth, but thankfully to a kind friend didn’t need to pursue it further.

Thanks for all your help!!!

Use Entropay , you can make your own virtual credit cards and add them to paypal.

They are easily reloaded with a credit or debit card

Just because an account is 3 months old it does not guarantee that funds will have no holds.

Use entropay to buy items from EB via PP if you have not got the funds in PP.

Entropay needs to be in your real details.

Its not a good idea to use friends accounts. It can lead to fall outs.

That's really helpful guys - many thx
When entering the data for an entropay card - will I have any issues with paypal as the names won't correlate?

If you do this correctly with entropay, there should not be issues, Charlieboy.

Use your debit or credit card to create an entropay account with your real ID.

Add say £20 to the (main) account. Then use £7.00 to create a virtual card to use for paypal. You only need to use the numbers of the card, no names.

Hi Green
forgive me.... virtual card???
so £20 on entro and £7 is the cost for a virtual card? The virtual card being??

Virtual card is what is used on paypal for stealth purposes.

It is on paper or virtual.
