Answer 2

Yes, PayPal UK accept all UK debit cards.

A credit card is based on credit that you borrow and repay.

A debit card will only debit your account if there are actual funds there.

Answer 3

You can indeed use a debit card with PayPal.

A debit card deducts directly from the funds you have in your bank account.

A credit card lets you pay on credit. You would have an account with your credit card company that tracks how much you have spent on that card, and then it is up to you to pay the card company back all the money you have spent on the card.

the difference with the cards is use a debit card and you have to have the money in the bank.use a credit card and it depends on how much your card limit is when you spend the money they send you a statment at the end of the month of what you owe

Answer 5

You can use a debit card for anything that you can use a credit card for, the difference being that a debit card draws on your bank balance, and a credit card draws on your line of credit.

Answer 6

yes you can use a debit card for paypal,

the difference between a debit and credict card is,

if you use a debit card to buy something you have got to have enough money in your bank account, with a credit card you can purchase things even if you haven't got the money in the bank, you will recieve a bill at the end of the month telling you how much you owe the credit company,

Answer 7

Yes, you can use both. Your debit card is like a bank account and prepaid credit card in one. Sometimes paypal security require both, especially if you are buying and selling.

It is important though that you keep your paypal balance at Zero and make any payments using your credit/debit card and not from you bank account. This way you get Visa/Mastercard protection.

Also, don't add more than one bank account and one credit card if you can avoid it. Once a card or account is added to Paypal, it can never be added to another account. Just incase you get locked out of your account. I accidentially did this once - added both my bank account details. Then when I wanted a new paypal account, I had to apply for a new bank account first.
