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.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.
