Ok so its technically not
a custimer Service Issue for you guys i guess, but if you want my money trhen i need help :D
For starters i
live in the UK, and so i'm looking for help from either fellow brits or people who are experienced with paypal.
I have been a member here for about a day, read an awful lot, and figured it was worth having a go with some
mones.
However i dont have a credit card...visa etc, i have a bank /debit card switch/maestro...so i try to
setup my Paypal account. Here is where i get stuck.
I did the inital stuff, gave them my bank details did some
verification stuff, they rang me up at home and i entered the 4 digit code they sent me.......
Then i get to this
bit about setting up my direct debit...so i give them my account info, sort code etc and i get to this.......
Check your bank statement or call your bank in 3-5 business days to find out the exact amounts of these two
deposits............
Log in to your PayPal account, click the Set up Direct Debit link, and enter these amounts.
I got my statement about a few days back so unless i go into town to the bank to get these details i cant use
paypal??
Does this mean that i cant place my order until i get this bit done? It might seem like a silly answer
to some of you but the reason i ask is that after all the stuff i had to enter, name, adress, bank details,
verification phone call, sortcode, account number....... it just seems like an awful amount of details to hit a
stumbling block.
Also, if i have to wait in order to do this bit, okay i guess :( but then how does it work,
paypal aren't the easiest payment scheme ive seen....if i make an order with paypal, and im not even sure how i do
this............do they take the money straight out of my Real bank account for me? via this direct debit, or do i
have to put money from my real bank account into this paypal account before i can purchase goods.
Cheers folks
