When you add a bank account to paypal it sets up the direct debit mandate so that paypal can take authorised payments for any purchases you make.

No company eg water/electric can take funds from your bank account on a regular basis without that direct debit.

However the amount shown is always the ''last'' transaction / amount that you paid to a seller via paypal.

 

So that £31 would be the last seller that you paid via paypal funded from your bank account and it only changes when you pay someone else.

I have taken my bank account off paypal and i have left my debit card on so this cant be taken from my bank any longer, i dont mind paying by card but i do not want any money comming out my account without me paying by card, this has happened to me a few times and i cant see the point in having my card and my bank account on the same place if i can pay by card then thats fine if not then i will need to reconsidder
