Hello ecjbas,

Welcome to the Forums.

It sounds like you need to link your bank account to your PayPal account and then set up your Netflix account. You can add your bank account by logging into your PayPal account, click on profile, click Bank Accounts under Financial Information (If you do not see this step, Follow the instructions below), click Add, enter requested information and then click Continue, review the information and click Add Bank Account.

or

Click profile, click My money, click Update beside Bank accounts and then click Add, enter the requested information and then click Add Bank Account.

I hope this helps.

How about the fact that paypal seems to keep not fixing my account when i had mine linked to pay through my bank account all was fine till this month then all of a sudden it changes to my credit card i did nothing to change it and you guys at paypal blamed it on me when i did nothing to change it and its still not fixed yet even though you guys keep saying it is.

Hi Misty,

I have already linked my bank account to Paypal and it is verified.  Everytime I try to set up the free trial with Netflix it asks for my Credit Card or Debit card info.  I don't have a credit card linked to my Paypal account.  My nephew has his Netflix fees coming out of his bank account and I want to do the same.  I just can't get it to ask me to set it up using my bank account instead of a credit card.

Help!

Thank you,

Chimera

I signed up for netflix using my paypal account however it keeps asking me for a crdit card. I dont have one because I only use debit and I cant afford any more debt. lol. 8 bucks a month is affordable. why doesnt netflix add a call my cellphone feature when setting this up and just get the account number and allow us to pay that way. I dont think a prepaid card would be wise considering it costs 4.99 to use once per transaction. if thats th case, netflix just wants to rip us off.... is that the case?  I hate th fact paypal and netflix havent made a "partner" payment option whereas netflix is so big and everything.

how do i set up my debit. i have everything confirmed but still it asks me for credit card.......... if it doesnt work im afraid it will charge me in a month for a netflix account i cant even use.... my friend has hers set up and im just wondering why my debit wouldnt work ....

Good afternoon, Misty--

I am having difficulty understanding why I am being prompted to enter Debit Card/Credit Card information in order to sign up for Netflix. 

I have already linked 2 of my Bank Accounts to my Paypal profile & there is enough money to pay the monthly fees for my Netflix membership of $8/month. How will Netflix receive their $8 per. month--Will it be taken of the balance in my Paypal account or will it be charged to the card they are demanding I provide them with?

When I called "Kristi"/"Christy" over at Netflix she could not tell me how I would be charged for the monthly fee. She said all they receive is an email from Paypal saying that the money will be given to Netflix. This correspondence never explains how. 

I do not want the monthly fee coming from my Debit card. I want the monthly fee to be taken out of the balance on my Paypal account. She told me my question is for the people at Paypal. So, Will it be taken of the monthly fee to maintain my Netflix account ($8 per month) be taken from my Paypal account or will it be charged to the Debit card they are demanding I provide them with?

Please explain clearly how Netflix recieves their money from Paypal & where I fall in as a costumer in that process. 

Thank you,

First of all, I am sorry you are having so much trouble getting Netflix set up. I did go directly to the Netflix.com website and went through the sign-up/check-out flow and was able to select PayPal as a payment method. I was then directed to sign into my PayPal account. I do know that Netflix requires an instant payment which would require a credit card to be linked to your PayPal account. When you add a credit card to your PayPal account this does not mean you have to use the credit card as the funding source. 

To answer your question about how Netflix will receive their money? If you sign up using your PayPal account the payment will come directly from your PayPal available balance not your credit card.

I hope this helps.

Thank you so much for your speedy reply! 

I am very glad to hear this. & yes, it is a complicated process but I think Netflix should be made aware of how payment will work. This seems to be a common question & I do not know why no one explains this to them. 

You have been very helpful. 

Thanks again!

They want  a debit card that has a Visa or MasterCard logo... not all of us have that.  

I still think it's silly that they ask for that when you only want to make payments through paypal.
