The online wallet linked to your regular bank account

PayPal is like an online bank account - its an online wallet, linked to your regular bank account.

Due to its widespread support and framework for facilitating standard debit/credit card payments also (whereby the buyer doesnt even need a PayPal account), PayPal makes online payments a breeze.

PayPal UK - Theres a new money in town PayPal is a free, easy-to-use and secure way to make and receive standard debit or credit card payments via your smartphone, tablet or desktop/laptop computer. Once youve signed up for your free PayPal account, you simply need to register your bank, credit or debit card details (or all three) and you are ready to make and receive payments within a few quick clicks. When you are set up, theres no need to fill in forms, wait for security verification, or enter payment details again when shopping online. In fact, you can pay anyone with an email address or mobile phone number - they dont even have to have a PayPal account. Plus, more and more UK high street shops are accepting PayPal payments too. So if you are not already using it, theres never been a better time to sign up for swift, safe and simple transactions by opening a PayPal account.

PayPal is incredibly versatile, allowing anyone with an email address to send and receive payments online. It operates by leaning on the established financial infrastructure of the bank accounts and credit cards registered to it, in order to provide a worldwide, real-time payment system for its millions of subscribers. This means that businesses of all sizes - from multinationals to individual operators - are supported by traditional and established payment systems.

Using PayPal on eBay

using paypal with ebay

One of the biggest sources of business for PayPal is facilitating payments on eBay - this was discovered by eBay a long time ago which led to the purchase of PayPal by eBay to ensure PayPal always operates in the best interest of eBay customers.

You can link your two accounts to enable seamless PayPal transactions on your eBay purchases. From eBay payments to fees, receiving payments for goods sold and opening & resolving disputes, you can handle any problem with eBay transactions directly through your PayPal account after youve committed to making the purchase on the online auction site.

To get help with your PayPal purchases on eBay, you can contact either eBay of PayPal as appropriate (as follows).

Company Phone number Freephone number
PayPal the number above 0800 358 7911
eBay 0843 504 7176 0800 358 6551

A Simple, Secure Service

EASY balance maintenance - You dont need any money stored in your PayPal account to make purchases because anything not there is requested from your chosen funding source (be it your bank account by instant bank transfer, or your credit or debit card) once you have committed to pay at the checkout. If your PayPal account is in credit, PayPal will use this balance to pay for goods and services before requesting any more money from your nominated bank account or cards.

WIDE retailer support - A large & growing number of online retailers have been offering customers the choice of paying by PayPal for many years now - there are thousands of business around the UK and millions worldwide selling products via PayPal. You pay in pounds if you like, although PayPal is equipped to process 26 different currencies from 203 countries (for a currency conversion charge on top of the usual transaction fee).

SECURE shopping process - Simply look for the PayPal option when you are at the checkout, approve the payment (by logging in with your email address and password if you are on your computer or tablet, or mobile number and PIN if you prefer when shopping on your smartphone) to make your purchase. PayPal securely stores your payment information and protects your personal details so you can checkout quickly without having to pass unnecessary personal details to the seller or any other payment processing agent. The retailers you deal with via PayPal never see your bank details because PayPal draws the funds from your chosen account and acts as the middleman between you and them.

PayPal Internet security Another layer of security for PayPal users is PayPal Buyer Protection. This covers the customers eligible purchases if they dont arrive as expected, for example if they dont match the description on the sellers site or if theyre simply not delivered. PayPal then investigates these cases when theyre reported, and typically then refunds the total cost of the purchase (including goods plus postage & packaging) to the buyer - again, stepping in to resolve the dispute so you dont need to deal with the retailer first-hand.

Many sellers dont support PayPal for this very reason - its easy for customer to complain and get full refunds even when goods are delivered without problems (thus leaving the seller occasionally out-of-pocket and ever-vulnerable to fraudulent claims).

The History of PayPal

From independent to eBay-owned to independent again

  • PayPal was originally established as an independent company in the United States in 1998 during the early growth of the web (accompanying the onset of the dot com bubble) where it grew rapidly to become the industry-leading online payment processors - largely thanks to its use on major ecommerce portals like eBay.
  • PayPal was floated on the stock exchange in 2002 shortly before becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of eBay, the already-affiliated popular peer-to-peer trading & auctions website.
  • Although this partnership made sense due to their longstanding relationship of inter-dependence, PayPal eventually became its own independent company once again in 2015.

PayPal today

PayPal has established itself as one of the leading payment methods for users online auction websites (and the most convenient). But today it is also being used by customers to pay for an increasing range of goods and services such as groceries, electronics, web and print design, travel and for the sale of digital content. Its latest move has seen PayPal set up shop offline, accepted in high street stores and for an increasing number of services like lawyers, business contractors and doctors.

For advice on how to send money via PayPal including currency conversions, paying friends and setting up a business account, give them a call on the number above or freephone 0800 358 7911.

Request money

There are two simple ways you can send money via PayPal. The first is to use PayPal.me - this smart little service lets you set up a unique hyperlink to your PayPal account that you can share with friends, customers, creditors, anyone who might need to send you money. You can call this link anything you like. For example Kates Hen Holiday, where you can all pay in for your part of a shared trip away. You can share this link via text, email, chat or social networking post. When theyre ready to pay, they simply click on the link, enter the amount and log in to their own account to approve.

The second method is to send a direct request for money via your PayPal account. You can request money from anyone for any reason - perhaps a friendly reminder about a loan or issuing a one-off invoice for a service rendered. Simply key in the amount and enter the debtors email address or mobile number. They then receive notification of your payment request and can pay you via their card, bank account or PayPal balance.

Receiving money in the same currency costs you nothing. There is only a charge for the conversion if you receive money in a different currency. If you have any questions about requesting and receiving money via PayPal you can contact them on the number above or freephone 0800 358 7911.

Pay with credit

PayPal Credit is just like a virtual credit card you apply to your PayPal account to use for online purchases. It takes minutes to apply and if you are approved, your credit limit is added to your PayPal account straight away. No need to wait for the post to bring a plastic credit account and your PIN. PayPal Credit can be used separately or added to your standard PayPal Wallet. If you choose the latter, PayPal Credit can be selected as your preferred payment option or specified with each individual purchase. You can set up payment reminders too, for plenty of notice to make repayments.

For useful advice about setting up and managing your PayPal Credit account, call this UK number the number above or call PayPals freephone number 0800 358 7911.

News - How working 9 - 5 puts a stall on your path & purpose

It's the sad and obvious truth that during the rush hour commute, people who you are brushing shoulders with & most especially 'you yourself' could be a:

    • Cancer treatment pioneer
    • Inventor of a monetisation platform the homeless can use.
    • Movement leader that can bring humanity closer to equality & utopia.

...to name a few

However, due to you being chained to the rhythm your dreams will never be realised.

Isn't it funny how the lyrics of the famous song 'Working 9 to 5' sung by Dolly Parton in 1980 made working those hours seem like such a drag. But now 3 decades on, working those hours are looked upon as fortunate & rare.

Most of London's workforce now work hours more like 08:00 to 17:00 or 09:30 to 18:00.

It is important to not let your job to stop you from fulfilling your purpose.

If you are working pay check to pay check you cannot simply abandon your role, in which case we all grafters can sincerely sympathise with.

Check out some >> Inspirational Quotes << to help you on that path.

FAQs

I received an email from PayPal. How do I know if its genuine?

Emails from PayPal will never:

  • Use a generic greeting like Hello user or Hello PayPal customer. The emails will always use your first and last name, or the name on your business account
  • Request your financial or other personal information. PayPal will never ask for your bank account, debit or credit card details or your full name, password or security questions
  • Ask you to install a software update on your computer

To check the validity of an email, forward it to spoof@paypal.co.uk and delete it from your mailbox. If you think youve responded to a fraudulent email and believe your PayPal account has been compromised, report it immediately by calling UK number the number above or via freephone 0800 358 7911.
