Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

I read in http://www.aspkin.com/forums/au-payp...al-limits.html

that aupost load and go has changed ATM withdraw limits to $250 a week. :(

Does anyone here know of any other alternatives. I don't mind submitting ID. Just looking for one that has a BSB that allows transfer of paypal funds so i can withdraw at ATM.

Why not just open a bank account?

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

add a bank account to the pay pal account

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

L&G seemed too good to be true so the powers that be have put a limit on ATM withdrawals damn!

I think you are still able to spend it like a debit/credit card with a max of $500 per day (unsure I might have to read their terms and conditions again!).

That is the only supposed way around the ATM withdrawal limit.

Other than that I've yet to find the equivalent of L&G in Australia.

Go to the TAB, find something with odds of $1.02 or something similar, pay with eftpos via your load and go card, cash out with your winning ticket.

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

Great idea! I love this forum!

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

Yes i found that out the hard way with TAB and Pokerstars. Just plain dumb on my part i did not read through their money laundering page before i just deposited about $2000 into my TAB account and then had to bet on a $1.01.

It's not a smart thing to do though because it's not 100% guarantee you will win and also TAB staff members get suspicious about those sorts of transactions on an account.

I got really lucky when i was there arguing over my $2000 because there was an Italian guy right next to me in the TAB that did the exact same thing i did but with about $8000 on a $1.01 and Tab staff members got suspicious about it and he had all sorts of problems getting his money out.

You can still spend the same amount on the cards as before, it's only the ATM withdrawal limit that has changed.

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

Don't open an account with them and bet smaller amounts, say $800. I've done plenty of bets like that with cash, can't you do the same thing paying with eftpos?

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

oh I need a beginners betting lesson..........

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

Why not just open a bank account?? Its much simpler for transactions.

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

Research time

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

I don't want to add an account attached to my real bank account because I am scared that one day Paypal might start taking money from my bank account due to a buyer claim. I know at the moment. Paypal cannot do this but i am still scared that might happen. lol

Has anyone tried the Load and go TRAVEL card? I know you have to show ID which is fine.

Does the travel card also have a BSB account for Bank deposits??

Maximum single load amount - AUD$10,000
Maximum available card balance (at any time) - AUD$10,000
Maximum value of ATM cash withdrawals per day AUD$2,500

Sounds good to me if they also have BSB

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

I do not leave any money in bank linked to PP, charge backs or similar not an issue, attempted chargeback on load and go equals restriction with funds in account restricted and a hassle to get out. Looked at Travel Card it requires a minimum of $100 required to open account. There are work arounds using normal Load & Go if you think about it..... If you do go down the Travel card road I would be interested in how you get on though :-)

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

Ok to show ID but if you have a bad buyer fraudulently making INR, SNAD or chargebacks, it will fall on you and the details you provided - PayPal will chase you for the money depending on the amount "owed" to them you may have bad credit rating. Think about that.

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

And how will Paypal get my personal details?

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

Yes but the card itself is free.

L&G normal card is $7 - atm fee is $0 unless the atm machine charges extra. i have never been charged a fee for atm withdrawals though

L&G travel - card $0 with minimum $100 deposit. - it says ATM fee is $2. not sure if ATM fee can get waived but you can easily put $100 in it and withdraw the $100 At ATM the same day.

If there is no ATM charge. it means you got the account for free. if there is the $2 at charge. it still works out to be initially $5 cheaper than getting the normal L&G.

so yeah the $100 at first is abit of a turn off but it has it benefits.

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

Has anyone used the load n go travel card? Would you b able to buy more than one or aus post holds a record of your details?

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

Everyone has an ABN right?

Start a fruit shop up, on paper of course and ring Suncorp, or ANZ, or NAB, or Westpac or........your favourite bank and apply for a Epftos terminal. Process takes 3-5 days and guess what?

No desperate measures.

Just keeping it simple. Even more simple and I believe this lovely island will float away ;)

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

Don't you have to provide eBay with the merchant account details in order to integrate your eBay account with the merchant account i order to accept payments?

Setting up a merchant account with an EFTPOS terminal is fine if you only operate a single account.

For thos of us with many multiple accounts (that cannot be linked) it is a bit much to be setting up merchant facilities for each of these accounts... not to mention costly.

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

No, no no your missing the point ebayanarchy.

Read the title of the thread topic-alternatives for ATM withdrawals?

If you have a terminal machine and X number of L&G cards, simply pay your way and wave through withdrawal city. Good idea and great for existing shops with the terminal already, great asset those little suckers!

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

Can you explain this further.

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

Bump, anyone know if there are any prepaid reloadable cards that have BSB and Account number that can be used to register on PP for withdrawing?

Anyone tried Travel Card or anyone tried the reloadable Coles MasterCard? what ended up happening with that?

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

Travel card did work but you have to show as much ID as opening a bank account to use it and you can only have one (they check ID etc).

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

Why limited to one?

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

Thats what the post office told me...if you think about it why would you need more than one?

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

Post Office does not do or know stealth....

:rolleyes:

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

Their loss for more fees and greater use then.

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

Australia Post is killing itself.

Not joined the modern world yet.

:eek:

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

the travel cards state a minimum deposit of $100 so not sure if the 2 pp deposits will go through to verify or might get rejected and kill that account forever in pp.

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

Bump, I am looking to refresh this discussion wit updated 2019 methods to obtain reloadable prepaid credit cards than can be used with PayPal?

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

my question is
how did you all purchase the load and go , as the post office need to check your id ?

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

Not sure what you mean nu123 - you need to buy with your ID so...that's the only way to get it?

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

Post Office told me Load & Go has to sight idea and you are limited to one card. Seems people in Syria were using Load & Go to move money and one guy moved around Australia in a mobile home ripping people off left right and centre using Load & Go. I always wonder why people do not want to show ID when buying these cards or why they just don't open a bank account? Up to no good?

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

Previously for a few years you did not need ID to purchase them. Australia seems to have pulled all reloadable type prepaid credit cards from purchase unless you show some form of ID now (I am sure you can be creative here).

You can also no longer purchase the Load and Go Travel Card version of the card (which always required ID).

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

Sounds like just rumours, bull**** talk.

For security though yes now they are asking to check ID and input your ID info into their system during purchase/activation of card.

Anyway these cards have a $250 limit atm withdrawal per week, pretty weak.

Anyone have any other suggestions? other than gaypal to crypto?

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

Load&Go are not renewing their cards now. Apparently if you buy a new one its only valid till june next year. (i havent been on here in ages) My question is if a ebay & paypal acct currently have same name as Load&go card, but if i change to a bank card, for withdrawals, that will be in different name to current L&G and payapl may not link the card in a different name ?

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

old thread but still works atleast for now

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
 

Also keen on the LG cards info

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?

Re: Aupost Load & Go alternatives for ATM withdrawals?
