Paypal tricked me into using a back account instead of my credit card

I have always used my credit card when buying from ebay, and then suddenly paypal used my bank account without my permission. How do I get that back account out of paypal? It does not have enough money in it to make purchases, and I do not want a bank account linked AT ALL because of hacking possibilities. Because this occurred, and I will likely have overdraft charges, I am going to close the account that paypal accessed to prevent this from happening in the future.

Hi there  This is a very annoying problem with PayPal for many users. The only workaround is to select a credit card as the payment source, during checkout. Since it's already been charged to your bank, there is nothing PayPal can do to help you anymore. Any overdrafts that might have occured, etc, that's your banks' problem, not PayPal's.

  • How do I use the money on my iTunes account instead of the credit card on family share

    I have money on my iTunes account from a gift card, but how do I use that money instead of the credit card on the family share account. Every time I try to make a purchase asked for the security code for the credit card instead of just using the money on my account.

    Buy stuff.
    If you are asking about getting the cash value out, it is not possible.  The credit balance can only be used for purchases in the iTunes Store.

    Hello Kristi,
    It sounds like you have credits on your account but you are prompted to enter your credit card info. This is normal, to cover any charges that may go beyond the credits in your account.
    Order of iTunes billing methods
    When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance.

    You may be able to set your payment method to None in your billing info:

  • How do I use my iTunes Balance instead of a Credit Card?

    I want to gift money I have in my account. I had that money because I reedeemed an iTunes Gift Card. However, when I go to gift something it keeps asking for me to put a credit card. Even if I put a credit card I can only send money from the credit card. How do I gift the money left in my balance.

    You can't gift items or amounts from your account's balance, you can only gift from a credit card.

  • HT2534 I want to use an iTunes gift card as the back up for in app purchases for a so called free app instead of my credit card or having my bank account emptied.

    I want to use an iTunes gift card as the back up for in app purchases for a so called free app instead of my credit card or having my bank account emptied.
    How can I do this? I saw something about gift cards can only be used for music or movies, not apps.

    You can use an iTunes gift card for app, music, movies and other media.To redeem one see:

  • I lived in the US for a few years, spent a fortune on iTunes [my then local Apple ID account].  Now I live in South Africa and want to use Match.  I have a local credit card but how do I use my new / 2nd Apple ID and gain access to all my US music??

    You have to be in a country to use its store - you will need to be in the US and have a US billing address on your account to be able to use the US store (that applies to buying and redownloading).
    You can use iTunes Match in South Africa, do you not have a backup copy of all of your US iTunes purchases so that you can subscribe to it and upload those that aren't in the South African store to it ?

    How can I get the App store to use money in my account rather than a credit card when I want to buy something?

    The iTunes/Mac App Stores use credit on an account first. You are asked to supply an additional payment method when the cash credit doesn't cover the complete cost of the purchase.

  • HT204266 I have redeemed points on my account but, when I try to buy a song I tunes doesnt use them it tries to access the credit card associated with the account for payment.

    I have redeemed points on my account but, when I try to buy a song I tunes doesnt use them it tries to access the credit card associated with the account for payment. How do I tell this thing to use the points instead. duh

    By 'redeemed points' I assume that you mean that you've redeemed an iTunes gift card onto your account (?). If you do then are you trying to buy songs for yourself or are you trying to gift them - you can only gift items from a credit card, an account's balance can't be used for gifting. If you are buying for yourseflt and you are being asked to enter/verify a credit card number then are you currently in the country where your iTunes account is based ?

  • HT1918 How do I use my existing AppleID with out a credit card to access ITunes!

    This is madness!
    I created my AppleID as informed to, the way without any card details.
    I tried to use it to sign into ITunes and have to review my account, now it wants credit card details and I havnt got one!
    I have looked around these forums for about an hour and the pages are appsolute rubbish! All Apple do is send you into a mad loop so you HAVE to enter credit card!!! I dont bloody have one!!!!
    How do I use my existing appleID to sign into ITunes when all I get is review my account, then it always asks me for credit card information?
    I will be throwing this ipod straight back at the shop tomorrow if I can't resolve this!!!
    Can anyone actually help please!

    I'm off down town tomorrow to return this piece of ****...............
    Apple, how can you make a piece of free software that will only let me 'sign in' after you have credit card details? All the music I have just ripped from my own cd collection will now show up with no album art and song names?
    Unless anyone has an alternative program that you can drag and drop music onto a nana within the next 24 hours, mine is going back!

  • Set up itunes account with two different credit cards

    Is it possible to set up an existing iTunes Store Account with two different credit cards?
    I am currently registered with a personal card but wish to make one purchase for work (Lion OS) using a company credit card.
    many other sites let you choose what card to pay from, multiple addresses, etc. but I don't see any options from apple site.
    for this purchase I am considering:
    1. going into the "edit payment information".
    2. editing all the info related to the company card and address.
    3. completing the purchase and download
    4. going back to the payment info and putting back my original personal informaton.
    there must be an easier way -- or is this the only apple offering.
    any advice appeciated. TIA.

    This is incorrect.
    It is very clearly for people with a single iTunes account and they want to use multiple credit cards for purchases on that single iTunes account.
    If I had one iTunes account with multiple credit cards registered (which again, is what this discussion is in reference to),
    Huh? You just wrote it was NOT that.
    I bought Lion through my company, which means I logged into the App Store with my company's credentials, of which I have my company credit card registered.
    You mean your company paid for it. You are simply the one who did the purchasing using company funds.
    I now have a new iMac of which I want to install Lion.  Apple allows you to install this same install multiple times on your own personal machines.  I had to remember which account I bought Lion on so that I logged into the App Store correctly.  If I would have logged into my new iMac with my personal account, I would have then bought Lion again, of which I didn't want to do.
    But you did not purchase Lion with your personal account. It was purchased on your business account.
    If you want Lion on your persona/home computers, you will need to purchase it.
    I also wanted to install iPhoto.  I bought iPhoto on my personal account.  I had to then log out of the app store from my company account and log back in using my personal account to install iPhoto or I would have just bought iPhoto with my company's credit card, of which I would have been in a good amount of trouble.
    Imagine if I bought 3 or 4 apps a week and these apps were scattered across my business account and my personal account.  Each time I wanted to install these apps on one of my multiple machines in my  house, I would have to remember which account I bought the app on. or go to my purchases or which there could possibly be dozens of apps in each account.
    I would hope that your company requires you to track purchases you have made with their money.
    And I would think that you would want to keep track of all business purchases so you can get reimbursed (for the purchases you made on their behalf). If/when you leave the company, they can get company owned software that you purchased with their funds.

  • Maximum number of iTunes accounts associated with one credit card?

    We have a 20 person sales force and will be updating their iPhones and iPads to iOS 5 at a meeting in February.  We want each sales rep to have their own iCloud account for backups and storage.  So, we created 20 new iTunes accounts for each of them using the same company credit card.  To avoid any problems when we do the rollout I wanted to find out what the maximum number of accounts that iTunes allows you to register with one credit card?
    Background Information
    Currently, our sales force uses a company ID and password to download apps.  This allows us to keep the accounts and location settings restricted for security purposes in case a device is lost.  We have since created 20 new user accounts under one credit card for our sales force.  I did not do this, but worked closely with the individual who set them up.  They shared that iTunes only allowed three accounts to be created per day with the same credit card - I assume that's for security purposes. 
    In the end, all were able to be registered without a problem.  My concern is that when we update the devices, which will be over a period of 1-2 days, will there be a limitation to activating accounts under the same credit card, as there was when we created the accounts?  I'm doing the research now to avoid what could be a significant problem if not properly prepared for.
    If there's another solution for this, please feel free to share.  Our objective is to remove the reliance on the company computer for syncing and give the sales force more freedom.  We will still be locking the location for security purposes in case the device is lost/stolen - the iTunes password will be shared between the company and sales rep.  They also won't need to ship the device back to our office if there's a problem, as they would be able to restore with iCloud.
    Thank you!

    Thank you for the reply!  That is helpful to know.
    My follow-up question is this: we somehow managed to add 20 people to one credit card within one month without any warnings.  Should we anticipate encountering a problem? 
    In the interim, someone in our office is going to try and log into iTunes separately with each of the 20 accounts and download an app to see if there are any problems.
    Thanks for the help.
