paypal

not sure if ive put this in the right place.

Ive just bought two things from ebay the first one i paid straight way which cost round about £50

The second only costs £5 and paypal wont let me pay for it unless i sent up a direct debit???????

It says - The amount of this transaction exceeds your remaining Sending Limit and cannot be processed until you set up Direct Debit. You can complete this payment now by setting up Direct Debit below. Once you have set up Direct Debit, please go back to eBay to complete this payment.

and then asks me to check my bank statement in 3-5 days time to get the two payments they have put into my account let them know how much the payments are for and then i can make the payment????

Has anyone else had this??? Ive been using paypal for 4 years and never had this problem

i had that happen to me a few months ago, it was very strange!!

so what happens ??? i dont want to set up a direct debit how do i get passed it

I've never had this Lee - is it to do with the account being verified??

I've never had to set up a dd or anything like that - have you tried emailing them??

Do you have a verified account?? :searchme: Could it be something like a daily limit??

Can you tell I haven't a clue really :rotfl:

i just followed the instructions, i have not set up a direct debit though. it said it would take 2 small amounts and then when the statement comes you have to enter the amounts and then you can carry on using it, really strange though!!!

my only problem is that the seller wants payment within 2 days and it says it will take 3-5 days to appear on the statement. I've emailed the seller to explain to them hope they are ok with it

i am sure they will be ok as you are being honest with them,

i have an account with paypal and had to set up a direct debit so the money can be taken from my bank account then also give them a credit card as back up payment. you have yo wait for a statemnet to come and on it paypal will have deposited two small amounts into your account which you then have to email back to them. it is a security measure i think.

hiya
with some paypal accounts you only get a certain amount of money in it each month as that happened to us so my mum done the other thing to get more money allowed

well ive just checked my bank account and they have still not deposited the money so i can verift the account - luckly the seller is ok about this
