I want to open a paypal account so I can get a few things from o'seas.

But I do not have a credit card.

I do have internet banking.

So can I pay them with this ?

I have studied their website and cannot find the answer to this basic question without actually signing up !

Regards

604466 2007-10-23 02:55:00 A few of the banks now have debit cards. I know Westpac does, for instance. It seems they are major credit card names like Visa etc - but will only work if they've got money in them. These can be used for online purchases etc - and I suspect they'd work with PayPal.

604468 2007-10-23 06:36:00 Yep and Kiwibank also has a card you can use. Greg (193)
604469 2007-10-23 08:18:00 I'm pretty sure you can, you just can't verify your account. maccrazy (6741)

604471 2007-10-25 03:50:00 I got a paypal account and it works for me with a westpac debitplus visa card.

Don't believe you can use normal internet banking though.

Although you can open an account without even a bank account (because paypal only asks you for that stuff once you have an account), you probaly just can't use it if you don't have a credit or debit card

I have just opened a Westpac Elect account and ordered a Westpac DebitPlus Card !

I Think Paypal should make it clear on their website that non-Us bank account are not acceptable !

Now what can I buy ?
