Hi
I was wondering if anybody knows if you HAVE to link your debit/ credit card/ bank details to your paypal account. If I didn't link them, would i still be able to recieve money from ebay transactions and would I be able to use the money in my account to buy other things with it providing I have enough. I am not too bothered about money going into my account as i won't be making much. Can anyone help?
Thanks

HI HelpPlease3,
Thanks for posting on the Community Forum and sorry to hear about this.
It sounds like you might be experiencing issues with our security system, as you may be asked to add a bank or card if you are trying to make a balance payment with an unverified account.
The quickest way to verify your account is by adding and confirming a bank. You can add a bank by clicking on the 'Wallet' section of your account and then choosing the 'Add bank' option. After you have done this, you will need to confirm your bank. Here's how to do this:
- Go to www.paypal.com/uk and log in to your account.
- Click Profile near the top of the page.
- Select My money.
- Beside 'Bank accounts' click Update.
- Select the desired bank account and click Confirm.
- Click Continue, and review and submit the Direct Debit details. (If the bank account is a business account or more than one person is required to authorise debits, you must print and sign a paper Bank Funding Instruction and post it to the address provided.)
I hope this helps!
Sophie

I have found that some websites and sellers require that your paypal account has a bank linked which is a pain in my **bleep** and prevents me form buying things even tho I have the money for them in my paypal account.

Hi, I see people having problems to buy through PayPal, but my question is, can I use the account to store money from sells without linking to a bank account? I don't want to buy just store money and if yes, how much I can store before need to link a bank account?
I'm asking because I'm new to all this thing of shopping on the internet, so if everything goes well I will create a bank account specifically linked to PayPal and then will sell and also buy, just want to be sure it works.
Thanks.

I have the same issue. I am a Twitch streamer, and PayPal is the only way to get my Donations for Charity and my personal donations. I don't have a credit card either, and this is an issue, because i have about 999k saved in charity donations. This is pretty bad
