Simon Giftcards NOT working with Paypal Anymore!
I just wanted to warn/caution/let everyone know that Simon giftcards may no longer be a viable option with Paypal, as a credit card for verification.
I sold some items on one of my Stealth accounts, and like I'd read on one of the threads on this forum, I did NOT set up the Paypal account until AFTER payment was sent. But after I set up the PP account, I added the Simon giftcard so that I could transfer the funds to my legitimate PP account which I have a MC debit card for, that I could use to get cash, etc.
But after I added the Simon giftcard, and tried to transfer the funds, I got an error message saying that I could not send, transfer or withdraw funds using that card as verification.
I don't know if there is just something suspected of my account, or whether heaven forbid this is foreshadowing of future events to come when gift cards and pre-paid cards and pre-paid cell phones are eliminated as a means for verification on eBay and Paypal.
Interestingly, my PP account does NOT say that it has been limited. Just that I need to add a verified bank account to access the funds.
