I have £155 available balance with Paypal, I need to transfer that to my bank as I have gone red there. Eveytime I try, it shown that my account have already been link with other paypal account (?). I then try using my Saving account. It said that my account have been disable from Paypal as paypal has tried to add and withdraw fund but have been refuse from my bank (HSBC). Paypal then send me first email saying this is a problem between me and my bank please do not contact Paypal. Next message came to my email the next day said that Paypal has charge me £12 for the that.

Until now I have not able to withdraw fund from paypal to my bank, only if I fax then my saving bank statement with the copy of my ID.
But I still can sell and buy stuff through my paypal account and the money is out of my current account right away. How funny that its refuse to reconize my current account when I want to withdraw fund back!?!

So you also need to have a minimum in your paypal account, I think for the top level its maybe 5k or 10k in paypal at all times?

Something like that.

Also Andrew try IE for Paypal, I have HEAPS of issues with firefox & paypal.

Thanks for letting us know, though, because I might need it soon…=)

Yes I know that it’s easy to fly off the handle. Yes I appreciate that you blogged about this because I didn’t know that I needed to do that….

However, I don’t blame PayPal for that. I blame myself for not keeping up with my BIGGEST online partner. I should (as everybody should) take the time to become PP experts if you are relying on them for your income.

If you review PP at least once per month and re-read their TOS, get familiar with any changes, even find that you need to apply for lower rates…you are just doing your diligence.

I don’t leave it up to Pay Pal to tap me on my shoulder to tell me I’m NOT compliant with their TOS. That would be silly.

I would risk losing my account and having all my funds frozen if I just operated in the dark with my head in the sand.

So I guess I admit that I’ve had my head in the sand myself because I didn’t know that I needed to apply for lower fees.

But your comment about them automatically approving you was a little off. The approve you because they already know what your average sales are. The decline you if your average sales are less than $3000 for the prior month. No review is needed as this is the only requirement.

Anyway, thanks for reminding me that I really do need to stay up to date with PayPal. After all, that’s the biggest asset to my business online.

Once again…thanx for that info, I’m going to try and go through that process and make the switch.

We’ve a love/hate relationship with PayPal too. So money in our pockets is better than theirs.

Google do have Google Checkout – is that a viable option for we Aussies accepting online payments..?
