paypal question

[angelskies]

I figured while i'm *still* waiting for a response I'd ask you guys as some of you are paypal knowledgable!

The prepaid visa cards you can buy at the post office and some stores, can you link one of them to your paypal account? Thought it would be a handy way to pay for dh's stuff without him sitting there counting the pennies and knowing exactly what I got him for his bday and *rolls her eyes* what it cost.

Don't know but I think you have to have a confirmed address along with the card like a real bank......it would be interesting to know actually

think i'll have to give it a go tomorrow. according to the whirlpool forums and a couple of others i found tonight apparently they do *chuckles evilly* off to go spend =p

I am sure they will accept one

I think it's the bank account details that need to have the confirmed address

well i went ahead and bought one, added it to paypal no problems.. then here comes the problems. put through transactions all good.. but on their website my balance hasn't moved, the transactions aren't showing.. so i may of just screwed these sellers without meaning to =(

hoping there is just a lag from buying to it showing up!
