Paypal knows now?
 

I got this email a little while after trying to withdraw $100 from a pretty aged account...

Please do not reply to this email. This mailbox is not monitored and we

you still need assistance please log in to your PayPal account.

As a security measure for PayPal customers, we randomly verify account
information. During a recent review of your account it was determined
that the bank account you have listed is actually a prepaid or stored
value credit card. Stored value or prepaid credit cards can only be used
through PayPal as a credit card and cannot be added to PayPal as a bank
account. Therefore the card that you added as a bank account has been
removed.

LOL..so they know I was using a prepaid...I'm not sure if the account number is the same as the card number and that's what they are removing the bank account for, or what the deal is.however i can say that this is from me using a walmart moneycard, so beware.

p.s, when i got this, i just ordered some walmart gift cards with even more of the amount than i planned on withdrawing :D...does anyone know how to put a pin # on the walmart gift cards so i can use it at the walmart atm? thanks!

Yeah when u sell high risk items and use stored value so they call it then they usely remove it as a bank for u.

If u sold on ebay as a newibe selling everyday stuff u dont need or resell stuff from yard sales then u can use the Stored value card and never have a problem at all.

just add another prepaid card bank account. then it works fine.

I am curious, where do I get one of those prepaid card bank account? and how do I withdraw money from the bank account? I'm a newbie, please help.
Thx.
