[+28rep]PAYPAL HELP!

[&]

• Add card OR
• Transfer £100 or so from your bank, and just top up it every now and then so you can pay instantly.

Someone told me it is because my account isn't verified.

It says next to my email "Account Unverified - (5)" So he said I need to do everything that isn't scored out on the list.

The only thing that isn't scored out is "Add business information" - but I don't have a business. Lol

He said there is a way to change it so that it doesn't ask you that...

im 100% verified though..

I looked through the paypal / ebay members section about echeques.

It seems if you dont have a card attached to your paypal account it does this. Basically I guess it takes 9 days for paypal to check theres enough money, whereas if you have a card attached it takes the money and if you go overdrawn thats your problem.

Like the person above me said, the only way to stop it doing this is to fund your paypal or attach a card.

I have attached a card though... :S

And I have definitely paid this way before without the whole echeque crap

I dunno, depends on your bank account I guess, Im with Natwest and it lets me do whatever I like, even before I had an overdraft, cos they just charge you if you go overdrawn,

why dont you ask your bank for details about your account, there might be an anti-over draft clause or something...

if your bank specifically refuses to let your type of account go overdrawn even like a penny, paypal would have to spend the same amount of time checking theres money in your bank account as it would in your paypal?

If I were to add another card :@... say a credit card or something - is it going to take like another 7 days or something to sort?

is the card your primary paying method?
sure its still valid etc?

Whos your Bank?


edit: I payed for habbox vip literally 10 seconds after adding a card lol:]

[Ostinato]

Right I added another debit card there...

Now I am trying to pay and it is letting me pay via "debit/credit card" but not by "instant bank funding" or something...

How do I go about letting it let me use instant bank funding?

[Calisse]

if its letting you pay via your card isnt that instant? I think 'instant bank funding' would be if your paypal had funding, where it would go, okay BAM from paypal 1 (you) to paypal 2 (them). Thats instant.

Whereas atm its okay BAM account > paypal1 (you) to paypal 2 (them).

is it instant what its letting you do right now?
