 Re: PayPal Debit Card In The UK? (Not Credit Card)
Should I start with a DEBIT card and see how it goes before applying for a CREDIT card? I've never had a credit or debit card. Most of my acquaintances are saying I should get one. Will a debit card help me ease into using a credit card? Or should I just not bother to get anything and keep paying with cash and checks? What should I watch out for using a credit card?

Most people in the UK with a bank account will automatically get sent a debit card when they reach a certain age anyway?

 Re: PayPal Debit Card In The UK? (Not Credit Card)
The paypal credit card is available to non-status UK residents - and it works on a top-up or prepay basis.
Very useful for booking flights and tickets online, as there is generally no booking fee applied, but also reduces the risk of online fraud to the level of cash you have on the card at the time.

 Re: PayPal Debit Card In The UK? (Not Credit Card)
Hi Mark,
Sounds like you really need to keep a certain amount of money back in your Paypal account for refunds, how do you balance that if you are selling on a big scale, beats me how to make sure theres enough in there to handle refunds when you don`t know how many you are going to get hit with.
I mean say you are full time, you would have to be creating loads of sales to combat the refunds and still net a full time income after all other deductions?
Cheers Mark....John.
