Jake Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Thanks for the info Jake. I'd like to do the same thing but does it mean you have to transfer money into your Paypal account before using Paypal to buy something? And do you get charged more in the way of fees?No it just takes the necessary money from my CC when I buy something using PayPal. If they ever tried withdrawing money from my CC without my permission I would just dispute it with my CC company and they'd get nothing. Seems the best way to deal with them after you've got verified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gzaerojon Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 That's what I do. As soon as my account was verified I cancelled their direct debit to my account so they can't take any money when they feel like it. My PayPal account is solely funded by my credit card now, much better protection. same here Edit: sorry to hear this mate, did you know you can post a follow up to your posative feedback saying what happened so others can see. who is the ebay member?

My PayPal account is solely funded by my credit card now, much better protection. Would the 'debt' (if something got reversed) not jus add a negative balance onto the Paypal account? This really sucks and here I was thinking that it was all safe etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Would the 'debt' (if something got reversed) not jus add a negative balance onto the Paypal account? I don't know, it's never happened to me so far. I don't think they are quite so keen to do it to 'CC only' funded accounts because they know the CC company won't stand for any nonsense. They really do not want to lose the CC company's business. Frankly, if they put my PayPal account into the red they can still sod off, I don't care. If they want to take it further I'll counter sue them in the small claims court and they'll have to send their legal guys to the court down here - which they would never bother doing. I reckon they depend on folks just giving up and not fighting them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea,, never thought of that,, off to do the same Jesus after reading this thread, i'm only going to sell and buy from Verified account holders same here too,, never knew how much this sort of thing goes on I've boshed people's doors in and siezed their computers & records etc,.
