Fishy Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Don't think there's an age, unlike ebay. I've had one for 2 years now. Go get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenLeacock™ Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 You have to have a card you can pay online with, or sell something and get paid through paypal So if i started a paypal with out hooking a card up to it, id need to sell stuff like have paypal as a bank account ? Then i can use the credit in there to buy other stuff etc ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt rushton Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 So if you have money in there you can't get it out, unless you buy something with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenLeacock™ Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 So if you have money in there you can't get it out, unless you buy something with it? If youve got it linked to your account, im guessig it goes straight in and you just use it from your account credit ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam-Griffin Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I just set one up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamAllen Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Can you use it without any form of other bank. As in a totally seperate account. When you sign up its empty, When you sell something it can go into the account, which you can then use to buy things off other people?

Josh PWND Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 yep but you cant takke money out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenLeacock™ Posted February 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 (edited) I got told its 4% ?Sorted name, had to email them ! Edited February 18, 2008 by BenLeacock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomturd Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Yeah its about 4%. Fecking pain in the arse.People should be made more aware of the fact that they can just go into a branch of the persons bank, with the person details who they want to pay money to, hand over the details and the money and it goes straight in.So if I owe someone £10, and they give me their account number, sort code and branch (eg HSBC). I pop down into town, with £10 and their details. Go into HSBC and hand over the money & details and BAM. Hassle free (well, kinda) instant money transfer. No waiting around 4 days like with online transfers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This came out as being 9.69 I agree bank transfers are beter but means you need to get off your arse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
