Transferring Pay Pal Balance to Bank Account/Debit Card

Hello,

 

I've recently sold some items on ebay and have some money in my Pay Pal account.

 

I wish to transfer this money back into my main bank account.

However, my main bank account is my debit card. If that makes sense?

 

For some reason, I cannot find the option to set my bank account as the details for my debit card.

 

Sorry for the silly question, but I'm quite confused.

Hey, I was wondering how the money is supposed to show on the bank statement. Is it supposed to show 'paypal' in it?

Hi there SecretMachine,

 

Not a silly question at all!

 

You cannot withdraw funds directly to a card even if it is a debit card. You need to add an actual bank account to allow you to withdraw these funds.

 

Here’s how to add a bank account to your PayPal account:

 

  1. Go to www.paypal.co.ukand log in to your account.
  2. Click ‘Profile’ near the top of the page.
  3. Click ‘My money.’
  4. Click ‘Update’ beside ‘Bank accounts’ and then click ‘Add.’
  5. Enter the requested information and then click ‘Add Bank Account.’

Once added, click on 'Withdraw' at the top of the page and follow the instructions.

 

Hope this helps!

 

Siobhan

DO NOT USE PAYPAL. YOU WONT GET YOUR MONEY OUT OF YOUR ACCOUNT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE **bleep** ARE THESE SECURITY CHECKS THEY KEEP DOING? JUST AN EXCUSE TO HOLD OR STEAL YOUR MONEY FOR A WEEK OR SO. AS FOR BEING POLITE THEY CAN GET STUFFED AND I AM CLOSING MY ACCOUNT ALONG WITH 14 OF MY FRIENDS. I DONT THINK THIS IS LEGAL****************************************************************************************************************************

I completely agree with you! I have all this money in my PayPal account and I can't even touch it! PayPal customer service tells me the same thing over and over, that it's for security purposes, seriously??? I haven't been able to send money in 5 days because I keep getting declined. WORST COMPANY EVER AND I REGRET EVER SIGNING UP!!!

I find it weird that I can send money from my credit card without my bank account details but I cannot add funds to my cards from my paypal account.
