The problem with PayPal and the reason why I never debited from the
account is that you have to associate a bank account exclusively with
a PayPal account. My PayPal account is one of the premier (or
whatever) ones which get charges for receiving money from PayPal so I
couldn't freely transfer it to my PayPal account, then my bank
account, then into the club's coffers.

Perhaps creating a closely-guarded paypal at ucc.asn.au and associating
it with the Guild's bank account number is not a bad thing? Or get the
guild to have a finance at guild.uwa.edu.au PayPal account we can
transfer into?
