Paypal can not verify if there are no funds on the card as they make a charge for $2 to the card, so if you want to verify a PP account with the card yes it needs some money there

cool thanks heaps:humble:

Hi, one more question.

during verification paypal said that it will charge 2 dollars from the prepaid mastercard and in the transaction detail it will provide 4 digit pin code that we have to enter to verify the card.

As I am using that woolies prepaid mastercard how can I check the transaction details as there is nothing like that as the card is not on any name and doesn't have a transaction statement.

Replies would be appreciated.:clap:

I just tried to verify Paypal and pay ebay bill with Woolworths prepaid card and the card was not accepted. After checking that the card was good I phoned Woolworths and was told that due to the card not having my name on it it would not work with ebay/paypal. I was the second person to make this call in the last couple of days. I hope this is a glitch but more than likely these cards have been banned... (I hope not)

Spoke to someone else at Woolies seems the system has a glitch and was deactivating recently purchased cards give them a call on the 1300 number and they can reactivate ASAP

Hey guys so just to clarify ..
Once I register with a Woolies card do I need to maintain the balance at a certain level? or can I spend the entire balance after registering?

I've spend all of my cards, and haven't had any problems.

Another reason why paypal may limit your account is you need to keep the card valid with funds on it after you have verified your paypal account.

This is why vcc arnt working as the card is cancelled after the account has been verified. Paypal do a sneaky and do a silent authorisation (they dont take anything off your card) when you try to move your funds to see if the card is valid and has funds. I think its their fallback for ebay fees etc...
