Direct debit.

[Moreriver]

Hi, Community.

I have a big problem on my hand with Paypal. I am trying to setup direct debit and for the life of me, it won't happen. I have contacted Paypal and follow their instructions and to no avail.

Below is the following message I've sent to Paypal;

Hi, Paypal.

I follow your instructions as far as the below;

• Go to www.paypal.com/uk and into your account.
• Click on “Wallet” and under 'PayPal Credit' click Make a Payment.

It says; You have no payment due instead of Make a Payment 

How do I get the Make a Payment to show up?

Thanks.

Do you mean you are trying to make a payment to 'paypal CREDIT'?

Or are you trying to set up a direct debit to fund your paypal payments to sellers?

I am a bit confuse by your question.

Paypal Credit and sellers.

What had happened is I bought an item with my Paypal credit and I want to setup a monthly direct debit so Paypal can debit money from my bank account.

How do I set up a direct debit?

You can set up monthly direct debit payments, provided you have a bank account linked to your PayPal account.

• Log into your PayPal account and select PayPal Credit
• Select “Set up a direct debit payment”
• Choose how much you want to pay each month and from which bank account.

Thank you.

Phew! It took me a long while to figure it out, wish Paypal could simplify things a bit thou.

Thank you kernowlass. Sorted!

Hi, Community.

I made a purchase and then after I setup direct debit. I am now getting emails
this morning about funds declined.

Sorry that's not how I had expected it to work, how I expected it to work, is
Paypal debit £xxx per month and not the full amount or the whole balance.

Can you please help me, I had already set up a direct debit but now I am
getting these emails which a worrying me.

Thanks.
Clive.

When you pay a seller you don't pay in instalments you pay the full amount.

The direct debit is there so you can FUND those payments from your bank account instead of a card.

The only time you can pay in instalments is if you have applied for and been accepted for paypal credit, the seller is still paid in one lump sum but you can stagger payments according to your paypal credit terms.

Hi.

I am already accepted for Paypal credit and I also set up a direct debit with my bank account to debit agreed amount of monthly payments and still get emails from Paypal for balance.

What I want is the monthly payment method.

Thanks.

I believed you misunderstood me.

Then why is my Paypal credit is on red alert? When I choose to pay monthly payments
