Tim, are you looking for someone with a bank account, so you can off-load your hostcharge fund to the account and load up the fund in paypal?

Umm, seems like this would be easy enough to do. Just sent from HC to your bank, then to PP.

You do have a bank account for your company, right? Pretty scary if not.

He would have had to have a checking account to get his HostCharge account since you have to send in a voided check to verify.

That all make sense.

By the way, I have a checking account, but I have no idea what a voided check is? :blush:

Yes. We want the funds to be send to a hostcharge account so they can transfer the funds to PayPal and pay us with PayPal instead of transferring it to the bank. As we do have a bank account :).

I am not quite sure what you mean. You want the fund sent to hostcharge?

Is this going to be one-time or recurring?

Tim,

HostCharge cannot pay you your funds via paypal. We only pay to *bank* accounts and soon enough our ATM cards. But thats about it.

Regards,
Asher.

If you have a bank account, and HostCharge makes payments to bank accounts; why do you need someone to make payments to your PayPal account for you.

The whole story is not being told here. I would be very leary of this until it is better explained.

Why can't a host the size of Earhost mark II handle it's own funds?

I think I understand all this.

He wants a higher paypal balance, why I don't know.

So... 1) You transfer money from his hostcharge account to another hostcharge account
2) Then you keep that money, and send him money from your bank account to his paypal account.

At least that's what I picked up from reading these posts.

perdavis had a good idea, "Umm, seems like this would be easy enough to do. Just sent from HC to your bank, then to PP. "

But you can't transfer money into your paypal account from your bank account.

Yes you can. I've done this many times. It takes about 4 days to complete the transfer. The way he is wanting to do this would make it instant.

OK so explain to me why someone needs a high Paypal balance?

If you need to pay for something via Pay Pal they will take it from your bank account or charge card.

As I said this is confusing. :confused:

I have a feeling that you are not Canadian?

Simply put we need the money in paypal quickly to pay for a few things. PayPal does not allow uploading of money from Canadian bank accounts (EARhost is based in Canada)

This was a simple request so no need to hate and bash (not just refering to Monte)

Sad James it really is you ask on a public forum to use someomes bank account, they ask you what for and you take it as hate and reduce to name calling.

And I would rather be a AussieBob wanna be than to have a rep like yours and Timmys at least he is known to pay his bills take care of his customers and does not have customers screaming for refunds.

If you do not want comments and questions on your request then do not post it in a public forum.

Since your partner and the one that made the request is in KY what does Canada have to do with it?

Name calling, it was a "joke". Hence the ":D ;)" If you read more carefully we are not asking to use someones bank account. We are asking if someone would let us transfer money from our hostcharge account, to another persons hostcharge account. Then the other person send us the same ammount via paypal.

And I would rather be a AussieBob wanna be than to have a rep like yours and Timmys at least he is known to pay his bills take care of his customers and does not have customers screaming for refunds.

Rep like mine? Did I refund the customers, yes. Did I give them a home, yes. I made the best out of the situation I got pinned in. Believe me, you will have some bad days too my friend, and you will be pinned to make a rash decision.

If you do not want comments and questions on your request then do not post it in a public forum.

I don't mind comments and questions, I just don't want sarcastic comments and questions.

Since your partner and the one that made the request is in KY what does Canada have to do with it?

As I said already EARhost is based in Canada.

Here is a suggestion then, transfer the funds to your bank in Canada then wire the money from there to Tim's bank in KY let him put money in the paypal account then.

We simply don't want to wait that long. God, If we realized how many people would flame a simple request maybe we wouldn't have asked. Bet if it was someone else asking then this wouldn't be happening...


My Name is Tim and I would like to be called Tim there is NO TIMMY in Paradise Designs nor EARHost. Call the person the right name if you don't want to be called the wrong name

So, to send the money to paypal, whoever is helping will need to give you his bank account information?

No, peter ... they will transfer the money to the person's hostcharge account. Then that person will transfer from their bank to EARhost's PayPal account ... Tim and James never see the person's bank info, at least as far as I can tell.

This is just from reading through this thread though, so I may be wrong.

Exactly Right :)... We don't see no information we simply send the money to you in HostCharge and you send that same amount to us via PayPal quite simple task!!!!!!!!!

I think I'm starting to understand. I'm not flaming, I'm just inquisitive, and trying to think this through logically.

See, HostCharge charges a remittance fee of $3.00 to send the money to a bank account, for each wire transfer.

So, if I'm right, by sending from one hostcharge account to another is an attempt to theoretically bypass that $3.00 charge, if HostCharge allows it.

However, the problem with that is..when they send the money to someone else's HC account they'll pay you the full amount (just say $300.00) Then that "someone else" has to pay them $300.00 (example). Guess what though. When that "someone else" retrieves their money from their HC account...they get hit with that $3.00 charge.

So, that would mean the first host gets to keep all of their money while the "someone else" pays the first host's fees for them.

It started to sound fair enough, until I read HC's fees for transferring the funds. I can't be the only one that looked at it from this angle.

As the person from HC said, they can only transfer to a bank account.

So, I'm not sure this would work anyways.

Tim, what do you say of this?

Well, regardless of if this IS what he was trying to accomplish or if it was a totally innocent request, the point is, everything that I explained up above is exactly what would happen if HC let it go through like that.

You would be paying their fees for them, while they got all of their money.

I find it hard to believe that this wasn't what he had in mind in the first place. What else would explain the odd request, and the illusive responses to the straight question..."why do you want to do this?"

IMO he came here looking for a sucker.
