436665 2006-03-08 07:27:00 Does anyone here use paypal for ebay. I would like to use ebay but I am a little unsure of paypal. I have used it in the US before but there it is easy because they show you how to do everything but when NZ is the country they dont really have much info. I have a few questions:

1) When I am linking a bank account for the bank name do I just put ANZ or ASB or would it be ASB BANK or ANZ Bank?

2) The New Zealand Bnak accounts are in the form of AB-CDEF-GHIJKLM-NOP. Paypla say to enter the bank number and account number. Where do I get these numbers from?

3) Last of all is it possible to use paypal just with a bank account and pay for everything through that or do I need a credit card?


If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.

436666 2006-03-08 07:32:00 I opened an account with PayPal quite a long while ago, and use my Visa credit card. No problems, but I havent tried using a bank account directly, so Idon't know how that part works. Terry Porritt (14)
436667 2006-03-08 07:35:00 The normal way to credit a Paypal account is via credit card. It's possible to pay directly via your bank, but it's very uneconomical. Greg (193)
436668 2006-03-08 08:00:00 I use my Amex all the time with Paypal, no problems so far
Would be nice to do direct transfers, let us know if you try it

Its a shame I would like to use ebay as trade me is all great but ebay is just massive.

436671 2006-03-08 18:41:00 So what did you put in all of the bank account places? kiwimate27 (9833)
436672 2006-03-08 19:13:00 I just use it for credit card transactions. I suggest if you haven't got a credit card, get one.

436673 2006-03-08 20:00:00 REf Q on bank details,

They are generally on your cheque book, the nos following the individual cheque no.

436674 2006-03-09 00:14:00 Paypal is considered very responsible, and some sites will only accept Paypal payments.

On the other hand, Paypal won't accept business from some adult oriented web sites.

Generally regarded as safe.
