Paypal has banned Load & Go BSB now?

[Toolman89]

Tried to make 2 new accounts yesterday.. both said You cannot add a bank account at this time. Should note I also made 1 the previous day and it worked fine.

Figured maybe it's a random error and tried it again today.. again the same thing. So I tried a suncorp bsb number and what do you know it worked, which can only lead me to believe that Paypal has finally banned the L&G bsb for new accounts. On current accounts with the l&g bank account still attached it still works fine as in you can still make withdrawals.

Can someone please confirm if they hit the same problem if they make any new accounts from today on? Thanks.

yep i am having the same issues.

Considering load and go is a heritage bank product. If you were to use the same account name and account number but just a different heritage bank BSB, could that work or would the transaction just bounce.

Yeah that's exactly what I was planning on trying, let me know if you get to it first and how it goes.

Was able to add the account with a different heritage bank BSB number.

Will have to wait and see if the bank transactions actually go through.

[craigoaus]

doubt it will go through sadly

I have a 'proper' heritage bank account, when you open for example an online bank account with them the account number remains the same and the BSB changes. This is different to most other banks here where the BSB remains constant and you get a new account number.

Yeah, I've got a bank account were the BSB is constant so i thought maybe heritage might be a little similar but after a bit of research online it seems very unlikely the different BSB method will work with Heritage.

Might call it early here, i reckon the Load & Go card might have just served its last valuable purpose on paypal. Quite baffling that ebay and paypal took this long to cut them off from their system.

[craigoaus]

Yep reckon you are right. I wonder if the L&G visa card will still be accepted.

Oh the good days are over now I suppose?
Did the new bsb number work

No, the alternate BSB with the right account number and name does not work.

The card can still be registered as a credit card though, just not a bank account. There are still a couple of methods in which you can use the cards on stealth accounts though,just takes a little extra work.

Can you please explain how and in what way? Pm me if needed, cheers

[Stealth4]

Me too please. Can you let us know any way we can use as a bank account

[matblacrog]

Same problem.

Tried several different cards and error message. Then tried a CBA and worked fine.

I have two active from three months ago and still able to withdraw perfectly fine.

Is there another way without using own bank details?

[renatus44]

Yes in the same problem as well

Im currently registering my L&G card as a credit card on Paypal, awaiting to see if the transactions appear in the account.

Other than that have no idea as to where to go now ? Entropay ?

Any VBAs work with Aussie accounts? Have zero experience ever using one considering we've always had the L&Gs.

[rsot]

Haven't heard of Australian VBAs existing...

[secret storm]

If the Load&Go cards are truly banned from paypal forever thats to bad because it was one of the most 100% anonymous bank accounts that you could have with paypal in existence.

My Aussie friends loved them!

[DotDot]

Noooo..

can someone please confirm if this is true??

if you don't want to post info on public. please private message me. i have had a break from ebay selling during the last 3 months.

About to go back into it. I have plans to go out and buy 5 brand new load & goes tmrw just for paypal. i don't want to go and waste money on them if its not working. they are $7 a card. :(

[bananaappeal]

load n NO go

[Klemantina]

Working perfectly for me, 2 accounts verified last week and already selling.
Might be because i'm in this country only 8 month and their database still didn't update, really doubt it :/ Before buying 5 i would recommend trying with 1 just to make sure.

thanks for the quick replies guys.
