kissorkill2night Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I have a question about ebay. For christmas, I got one of those Visa Debit card Gift cards from my bank. I was wondering if I can use that to sell stuff on ebay where I create a paypal account using that card. will people be able to add money to the card by buying my stuff that i want to sell and having them pay through the palpal account i create using the card? Can i do that? does this make sense to yall? thanks for the help -Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelizeIt Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 You don't need to use a Visa gift card if you have a bank account. With Pay Pal they will transfer the funds from your ebay transactions directly to your bank account. It takes a few days, but they don't charge extra for the service. (Then you can use your own bank debit card) Otherwise if you prefer, you can have Pay Pal send you a Visa "Pay Pal" debit card, which will deduct from your current Pay Pal balance. If for some reason you want to use the gift card to avoid any type of "history" of your tranactions, then I would call the bank that issues the gift card for there policy. But keep in mind that many of those debit gift cards can charge you extra fees over time, so I would just just apply for a Pay Pal debit card (no cost to you) or use your own bank.
