Paypal Question - YorkieTalk.com Forums

when you set up a paypal account, does it take money straight from your credit card, or do you put money from your credit card onto the account?

Hi, You can do do it either way, I persnaly like having the funds come out of my checking, but i have used my cc in the past to. when you set up a account , get if verified & then it will come right from your bank account

With my paypal it shows up like this....the credit card pays paypal and then paypal pays the vendor. If that was the question. I only do one thing...pay! lol

It takes it right out of you account.

Yes. I believe it's call: Self Control

LOL....I don't know that there is such a feature; but though I've been using paypal for several years, I haven't looked into all it has to offer.

That's exactly what I do in a way. I bought a loadable Visa (green dot) card at Walmart, and I only put so much on it each pay period. There are some fees, so read up on it, but it's worth it to me.

smart idea, so it's kind of like a debit card? i think i'm going to walmart today anyway, i'm going to look into that. as for self-control, there's wayyy to many cute things for dogs lol i wouldn't be able to do it

hehehe...I hear THAT! That's why my paypal is attached to a small bank accnt, and I only add a limited amount. Hey, that's what you could do! Transfers are a free service; but, it takes 3-5 business days to complete a transfer from your bank accnt. Wait until you're near your limit for the week/month; then, transfer more funds - timing it so the funds won't be available until the time you've allowed yourself. I guess I kind of do that, and didn't even realize it! For instance, I am dying to shop for GE; but, I can't because I have to wait for funds to be transferred into my paypal accnt. Oh, I know I could use a cc; but, I won't allow me to to that.
