First set up your PayPal account at www.paypal.co.uk
I have a premium account and that works
fine for me. It lets me take credit and debit card payments too. There is a small fee when people send you
money.
Requesting Money
Once you have an account and someone wants
to pay you money, log onto your account and select the 'Request Money' tab.
Type the purchaser’s email address in the
‘Recipient's Email’ window.
Type the FULL amount in the ‘Amount window’
as 9.95 for example.
Make sure ‘Currency’ is set to ‘Pounds
Sterling’.
In the ‘Type’ window use the drop down
arrow to select ‘Goods (other)’
You can type into the ‘Email Subject’ and
‘Note’ windows to clarify matters eg ‘Invoice’ in the ‘Email Subject’ line and
details of the purchase in the ‘Note’ window.
Press ‘Continue’.
Check the details are right. Press ‘Request
Money’ if so or ‘Edit’ to correct them.
If the person you’re invoicing hasn’t
already got a PayPal account they’ll be told how to open one.
PayPal Invoices
This is a new idea that I haven't used and reached from the
‘Request Money’ tab by selecting the link for ‘Invoicing Tool’. The form is a
bit more complicated because you can ask for payment for several items at once.
To withdraw money from your account
Ok, you’ve got money in your account and
want to put it into your bank account. This is what I do and you should have
the same options.
Select the ‘Withdraw’ tab.
Select ‘Transfer fund to your bank
account’.
Type the amount to withdraw into the
‘Amount’ box. Eg 100.50. Check the bank details are right. If you withdraw more
than £50 there is no charge.
Press Continue. Check the details – press
‘Submit’ or ‘Cancel’. The transfer takes about a week.
