No money in paypal for fees please help!!

[Oscar2015]

Hi there, I have a reasonable sum of money to go out of paypal for fees. I have no money in there and I stupidly put my shop on holiday over xmas and with all the excitement forgot all about it. Schoolboy error.

If i reopen i really dont think I can raise it in time, but my question is if the fees go out 30/31st of dec from my paypal account how long do they then wait to take it from your bank account if you have a direct debit set up please?

Many many thanks to anyone who can answer, am currently tearing my hair out!

If you have your bank set as a funding source right away , it will look to available funds than your CC and than your bank, and this can happen all at one time

If you go into paypal under profile than money , pre approved payments, and funding sources uncheck your bank account just leave your CC as a funding source

You can go out and buy a Vanilla Visa Gift card and pay them that way....then paypal doesn't take money from any of your sources.

Use your CC on file to pay fees manually

if you used entropay, top the card up with enough money to pay off your fees.

Thats likely your best solution.

Or buy a VISA GIFT CARD from the supermarket £25 or £50 denominations, to pay fees and add each card to pay them.

for uk ebay sellers fees, and a 'limited PP acc' how would one pay outstanding ebay fees of over £100 using these Visa gift cards if 1 card has a maximum value of £50??

Buy 2 cards of £50 each, register them with gospendit.com - go onto eBay, click seller account, pay by debit card, enter the info and repeat. That totals £100.

how does ebay take the 'one time full payment' from 'multiple cards'?

ive never paid fees any other way buy PP, but I imagine when you select "card as payment" it would only throw up one set of boxes to enter the16 digit card no, expiry date, s/code etc?

Takes the one time payment by doing it twice.....you can use VCCs to pay fees through this method.

Can also look at 3v and Entropay

The UK based Prime Gift card does £200 max, thats the one I use.

3V is having major issues at the moment - I tried to use PayPoint for a couple of vouchers for £100 each, 3V blocked the shops machine and then when she called, he had me on the phone asking what i needed them for, who told me to do this, blah blah. It was an interrogation!

Exactly an issue I had a few months ago.

They blocked the shops machine, hasn't worked that machine in the shop since.

Aw don't say that, its my local and they are very nice people!

PayPal is in bed with 3V, bet ya

The lady in the shop actually showed me the propaganda the 3V/PayPoint company sent out regarding large transactions on 3V, and it mentions 'eBay fees' as a possible 'fraud alert'.

to confirms its the "prime payment card"

looking on their site its showing that you can buy upto £300 credit..

[wired]

Only if you register it , i.e upgrade it, and for that, you have to send docs similar to PayPal.

£200 was the limit yesterday with no questions asked.

yes your correct, it seems that when you buy one they don't want any "personal details" like your real address etc, is this the same if you walk in local shop and buy one?

thx for the heads up, these cards look good!

You guys need to remember to keep money in your PayPal for disputes and ebay fees. I always keep enough to cover 1 or 2 item returns just in case. Also leave a small balance in bank accounts to cover anything.

I never let my ebay fees get over $10. I usually pay fees once a week to keep the balance low and keep ebay from auto withdrawing my paypal.

Go to cvs and buy a paypal top up card. Add it your PayPal account. Then go to ebay and select 1 time payment using PayPal balance. Thats it enjoy!
