Paypal and adding funds to it

entropi

I just recently set myself up a Paypal account using my 3v card. Now i know i can add card etc, but is there an actual way of sending the money from a 3v voucher into my paypal account? , incase i was to use that instead of the 3v number for online transactions. i'm totally stumped with this one and help is appreciated

You can't really because there it is not possible with an Irish bank account as far as I know. Just use your 3V card as a payment source everytime you buy something.

I think the way around this is to set up 2 accounts and with the account you register the 3v card with, transfer money to the other account, this will take it off the 3v card and will be available to use in the other account. Then every time you need more money in the other one, set up a new one with the new 3v card number. I think that's the way around, not sure

They won't allow you to transfer money into your paypal account from your bank or credit card (although they do let you transfer money from your paypal account to your bank account!)

I doubt they'll allow you to set up two accounts unless you use a relative or a partner's details for the second one. Only problem here is you'll be charged when you transfer the money and you're already being charged by 3V so it's a bit of a waste - just use the card to make any payments you'll be better off in the long run.
