I've had my paypal account for a couple of weeks and Im already sick to death of this crap.
I won an auction on ebay, and stupidly thought it'd be simple to add money to the paypal account.
Now that I chose to Add Funds, I have to wait for 5-7 days for 2 small deposits to be made on the account, to verify the bank account that I already fucking verified!!!
So how does this work from here? When I verify the account what do I do?
I want the money on the account! The guy is waiting there like an idiot for me to send the it. By the time I get the wheel I bought I'll be riding another bike..

If you have a credit or debit card, register that, as far as I can work out, the money goes through straight away.

If you're trying to swap cash, its crap. 9 days to clear in and same coming out, plus if you withdraw less than £50 you get charged.

My bank keeps KB'ing any paypal requests for money, no idea why. I think it got hacked last month but since no humans work for paypal seemingly, its impossible to find out what happened.

I think for you, the quickest way to do it is to register a debit or credit card, the process is fairly straight forward. If you don't have one and don't have access to one, you're stuck.

I hate paypal, it sucks balls.

What kind of special delivery is that then?
And I have a debit card, and it still only lets me add funds in that stupid way. This is seriously the most retarded system I've ever seen. Don't know what the hype is about..
I had to verify my debit card by them withdrawing some monet from me, and me getting a code from the actual bank statement. And now I have to get another 2 codes as if the first one wasn't enough! Crazy

Its the type of special delivery that's called special delivery, available from any post office. Razz It's next day delivery and it's insured.

Oh wait, you're not in this country. Doh! Looks like you're stuck with paypal and their card verification process. The hype is basically to ensure that it's your card you're spending money on, annoying as it might be it does kind of make sense.

Why are you paying money in ????

If you don't have enough cash in the PP account they automatically take it from the bank/CC account linked to it, when you select pay on the ebay site and use PP as the payment method.

Why are you paying money 'into' the account?
If you have Crdit/debit card you pay instantly to him.
As you said you paid with Fleebay, you click the 'pay now' button and directs you to paypal and you pay him there and then.
No need to add money to your paypal account Thumbs Up
