Additional FAQs
1. Will I be able to see my prepaid card balance through the above methods?
Your credit and debit cards can be linked to your PayPal account so you can use them to make payments directly through PayPal when making purchases online. PayPal only secures the transaction, if it is possible, and does not have access to your balance. Therefore, using PayPal to check the balance of your card or bank account is not possible.
2. Can I use someone else’s credit card on PayPal?
You can, indeed. PayPal doesn’t keep track of who owns the card. The person requesting to use the account is not compared to the name. You can use the card on the account as long as you can verify the card and successfully complete the attachment process. As a result, you can make a variety of payment arrangements work, which can simplify things.
3. Can I use someone else’s bank account for PayPal?
While PayPal permits multiple users to use credit cards, you cannot link a bank account that is registered to a different person to your PayPal account. Bank accounts are examined more closely than credit/debit cards because of a number of related legal issues.
4. What is a PayPal business account?
PayPal accounts come in two main categories: personal and business. The most typical type is the personal account. However, PayPal business account is more thorough while also accelerating business processes. The processing of credit card payments is quicker. Your clients can pay you using the business account without having a PayPal account themselves. Credit cards, debit cards, Venmo, PayPal Credit, and PayPal itself are all options for payment.
5. Can I create multiple PayPal accounts?
Of course, provided you do so with a different email address. Having two PayPal accounts with the same email address is not possible because payment requests and sending are handled via email addresses. You cannot use the same email address to open both a personal and a business account. As a result, even though you can have as many PayPal accounts as you like, you must use unique login information.
Kesimpulan
Checking your PayPal balance is probably the easiest thing to do on PayPal. It works pretty much the same across all devices. As long as you enter your credentials and log in, you will be able to see your balance immediately.
