Paypal Pre-Auth Bypass

How to avoid your money being held on paypal raffles

How to avoid lengthy holds

This is a guide for stopping JD/FP/HS from holding your raffle payment pre-auth.

• Connect your bank account to your PayPal account. (Note: This does not mean adding a debit card, go to PayPal and add the actual bank account)

• When paying for the raffle select the bank account as a funding source (instead of selecting the bank card)

• This will act as a direct debit, your PayPal account will show the transaction as pending but nothing will appear in your bank account. An authorisation will be placed but no money will be taken.

• If you win, JD will instruct PayPal to direct debit your bank. You will then be charged, only if you win.

• This method will also allow you to enter more raffles and will allow you to keep your capital safe for restocks and shock drops.

Sometimes, choosing a bank account will not be there, and so using a Credit Card is recommended. If you have no Credit card, using a debit card will be your only option.
