unignal Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Hi all,I know this is kinda asking for too much, but is it possible for anyone to donate a LIP-4WM bought off ebay and deliver it to me (in Singapore)? This is because I'm a student, don't own a credit card, and could not buy it off ebay myself.Or is it possible for someone to buy it on my behalf and send it to me, while I pay the person via bank transfer? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks!If you have a bank account and an email address, you can open a (free) personal account with PayPal (www.paypal.com), then purchase from eBay. I don't believe this requires a credit card, just a bank account from which it draws funds when you make a payment to a vendor who accepts PayPal payments.

unignal Posted October 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 (edited) from what I check, you can withdraw from paypal with just a bank account, but u need a credit card to add funds to it. Yep, I already have a paypal account. Edited October 18, 2006 by Unignal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I already have a paypal account.That is incorrect. You can use your bank account as your funding source as well. I do it all the time.

unignal Posted October 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 The only option I got was to transfer funds to Paypal using a US-based bank account. How do I transfer from a local (singapore) bank account? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smkranz Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Thanks. Yep, had that added before.So how do I transfer from my bank account to paypal?To use PayPal to pay someone, you don't perform a separate "transfer" of money from your bank to PayPal (although I guess that's what happens). Rather, when you pay a vendor who accepts PayPal payments, you "checkout" or click the vendor's PayPal link (like an eBay seller). It prompts you to sign in if you already have a PayPal account. Then if all you have registered with PayPal is your bank account, it should default to that account as your funding source. The transfer from your bank account to PayPal, and then from PayPal to your seller, happens pretty much simultaneously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
