About PayPay, PayPay フリマ, and Yahoo! Auctions

Hello people, and happy new month to you all.

I have a few questions about the titular services:
1. I know they’re all linked somehow, and possibly all under the same umbrella group, but in terms of money balance, how connected are Yahoo! Auctions and PayPay フリマ to PayPay itself?
2. My ID on Yahoo and フリマ have been verified, using my 在留カード, but because I don’t yet have the plastic マイナンバーカード or a driver’s licence, I still can’t verify my identity or add a bank account to PayPay. However, I can do an ATM charge to add funds to my balance. If I went ahead and did that, would it reflect across フリマ and Yahoo, too, and allow me make purchases on either of them?
3. If I sold something on フリマ, I’m assuming my PayPay balance would appear on Yahoo, and I’d then be able to withdraw the money to the bank account I’ve registered on Yahoo. Is that correct?

I’m asking all of this to avoid having my money trapped in PayPay balance, so I’d appreciate any helpful answers.

Thanks, everyone.

  1. Yes they are all connected and owned by Softbank. For example you can top up your PayPay account and have the bill sent to your Softbank phone account. (That’s how I top up PayPay with my foreign credit card).

    If you add money on PayPay, you can use it to buy things on Yahoo! shopping and フリマyes. I haven’t done any selling, but if the funds that you sell go on PayPay, then yes they are all interchangeable.
