E-Cheques

What is an e-cheque? Have never heard of this with PayPal & no idea what it means. I’ve now had 2 e-mails the same, telling me this. I had a payment from a company as a refund, but have had these before & no mention of an e-cheque. ... View more

Re: PayPal credit balance missing form summary

Apologies, if this is not quite the right thread, but the paypal thing is bugging me. I have had a few things recently on paypal credit, they call them “promotional items”, I know the dates, when they have to be paid for to avoid interest etc. But no matter what way I look at it, the outstanding balance they have is very different to mine. Can anyone please explain this to me, in very basic terms? An example is I now have left a £99 & a £139 promotional items & yet their balance has me owing £450 ish ?? ... View more

Direct Debits

by pat29 Contributor in PayPal Credit Archives
‎Dec-03-2018 06:03 AM
‎Dec-03-2018 06:03 AM
Paypal seem to have gone out of their way to make it difficult to find the direct debit section, why? I’ve looked & looked & cant locate it. I set it up to take payments (min) for my credit account with them, changed it for a 4 month interest free purchase, but cant change it back. I dod contact them & they eventually gave me a vague response of “Oh, sorry but your next d/d payment will be for whole balance, as not enough time for change to have gone through”.  This is due in next day or two, so dont know where I am. I’ve gone in to try & change it anyway, but still cant find it. This is ridiculous, something as important as a d/d shoukd be easy to find, as it is with credit accounts I have. ... View more

How do I turn off e-mail reminders

by pat29 Contributor in My Account Archives
‎Aug-07-2018 12:23 AM
‎Aug-07-2018 12:23 AM
How do I turn off e-mail reminders from pay pal? This is happening when I use Pay after Delivery, I make a note of this in my diary, so don’t need reminders. Still get e-mails telling me I’ve used the service (don’t need these either) & when they’re going to take the payment. Is there no way to stop so many e-mails? Seems you can only edit marketing e-mails. ... View more

@pat29   You can normally only use Paypal Credit on merchants that accept it and state that they do on their auctions, did that seller offer it? Secondly PAD is offered by Paypal on a transaction by transaction basis, if it wasn't offered then it was not available to use on that transaction either.   They send an email to tell you that there is money in your account because you may well have got an Ebay email to say you had been paid BUT there were no funds in your Paypal account due to an incorrect email address on your auction / not verified your email address or a range of other problems. Paypal emails tell you its defo in your account.      ... View more

I used Pay After Delivery for all my eBay and some B&H purchases. But seens October the Pay After Delivery option is not longer avaible on eBay or B&H. I called the PayPal and no body knows why the option is not longer available and every time I called I get a different answer. My default payment method on PayPal still shows Pay After Delivery. ...

I made a payment yesterday to my PayPal credit account, for the first time yesterday & from money I had in my PayPal account. It states that it will show up within a day, but it hasn’t? Why not, Surely from a PayPal account, to the credit side, should be instant? ... View more
