Massive negative PayPal balance

[paydayjoke]

Ebay doesn't own Paypal anymore. They are separate entities.

 

Just pay your ebay fees with a debit card.

why has the OP got to pay ebay fees?

I owe eBay nearly £40 for sellers fees, obviously PayPal declined this so I’ve got an outstanding balance with eBay now. How do I pay this without giving them my bank or credit card details? On the website the only way of paying is with PayPal or debit/credit card details 

because of this @dx100uk

and what good will paying ebays fees do?

The same good as paying any service provider; you get to keep using them.

 

It's just totally separate from his paypal 15k gambling balance. 

Sure he doesn't have to pay them, but he does owe them and if he wants to use the same ebay account then I imagine he would have to

[dx100uk]

pointless they wont allow the use of the account anyway to buy/sell

if the op wants to use ebay/paypal

simply register with slightly differing details.

With all due respect they will. You know my paypal situation from my main thread. It's the same essentially.

 

I have simply removed my tainted paypal account and linked my new (third) account to it now. My Ebay account I've had for donkey's years so loads of feedback etc.

[Wigwambam]

What details would I need to change to open a new PayPal account without them realising about my old one? I’m guessing my email address is one of them? 

[aburobert]

New email address - different bank account - change name details (example if previously registered as William Albert Smith = WA Smith) - change address slightly (if 28 Station Parade change to Ground Floor Flat, 28 Station Parade).

Different phone number? 

[aburobert]

No idea - but it may be a good idea to change a land line to a mobile or vice-versa.

Please be careful with advice given and taken, that it does not give the impression of a conduct which may  lead to consequences in the future.

 

The way the debt was originally incurred and the subsequent conduct should all be considered carefully. 

 

Do not dig yourself into a bigger hole than you are in already, must surely be the advice to take. Can be a slippery slope, once you start having to have many different accounts to avoid previous issues.

The Consumer Action Group does not encourage or assist people to avoid lawful debts and we certainly don't get involved in giving advice to people how to continue incurring debts or liabilities in a way which is not straight dealing.

I'm very sorry but this thread now is straying into an area that we are not prepared to be associated with. It's for your own sake and also for the sake of our own reputation. We occupy the moral high ground in everything we do.

I understand that you have a gambling problem – and if so you should seek help for it. It seems to be quite serious matter.

If you find a way of circumventing PayPal or other rules in order to get new accounts – then you are moving from simply the matter of a civil debt – enforceable in a civil court of law if the creditor decides to take action – to a criminal matter where you have the requisite intent to be brought before the criminal courts and to be sentenced accordingly if you are found guilty.

You already seem to be sufficiently troubled by this matter and I can't imagine you want any more stress.

I'm closing this thread. I think we've given you all the advice we can. If you have a gambling problem then I think that you need to go and see someone and address it for your own sake and for the sake of your family.
