Paypal launches digital gift store

Oh boy.


PayPal Launches Digital Gift Store With Only One Client: Apple | TIME.com

HAHAHA, I would never buy any gift card from them even if they added more retailers. I get my gift cards at my bank, 0% buying fee or loading fee.

From the website:


The eBay-owned company rolled out a digital gift store exclusively with Apple on Tuesday, allowing PayPal customers to purchase iTunes gift cards ranging from $25 to $100 by linking directly to users’ PayPal accounts.

LINK ugh

Did anyone see the video with the guy going through the jack in the box drive through and paid by swiping his phone over the scanner? It accepted his payment and took it out of his paypal.

[rsot]

Didnt see it - went through youtube - no success :(

[Sandy D]

If I get time I will find it and post it.

He puts his phone up to the scanner outside the window and pays with his paypal account.

There will be some ppl always logged in to their pp on their phone so when the phone is stolen...ugh

Many would never think of that.

Quite the dangerous times when your phone = your computer and your business. That's why I dont like the deal with logging in via my phone (just my own preference)

[Sandy D]

I dont use my phone for any banking or any other personal items other then pictures.

Even with that I download the pictures when I get home and wipe them off my phone.

Too much info can be left on a phone for someone to find a lost phone.

Or you can be the guy who stored his debit card pin numbers on his iphone and lost his wallet and phone at the same time and ended up having someone have a hey day with his debit cards.

That's true but I'm attatched to my phone is be blind without it it really brings all my stealth and makes them as one business's, and I known Sandy but I love mobile banking

Anyway point is I notice my phone is missing within 5 min , and maybe sooner , so of it is swiped u go to any lap top an u can seller all information on the phone . Apple is awesome because after u get a new device u put in ur apple email and everything.that was deleted will drop from the cloud to the new phone

But yes not everyone has there phone in hand every second of the day and may not realize it's gone till too much damage is done. But all sensitive info is under password so they need to break 2 passwords and do it within seconds

Having the ability of mobile everything, banking, business & more SURE made life easier. However, it is a double edged weapon that must be handled with care.

They tried that here in NY at a mcdonalds at time square. Swipe your card and you pay for a meal via paypal.

I think its still going on.

But yes, in exchange for the convenience, you give up your identity.

My phone(s) are only used to make calls

[rsot]

I only have one e-mail account on my phone - a personal account that is used for random e-mails...not even my main personal.

Phone is only for calls, texts, whatsapp

[Rambo3]

that would be good for guys like me who
want to use funds from their stealth pp.

since we can not get the prepaid pp card.
i thought by now eb pp twitter fb would have a log off from all devices button

i guess technology isnt advancing so fast

[rsot]

Problem is ppl get lazy by staying logged on...

[Sandy D]

I use my phone for text and calls only.

I always have my tablet with me for other research etc.

Just a little insight on this, using this feature within the PayPal app requires a photo of yourself to be on file so that the vendor can validate you are the authorized person.

Yeah, I don't want my picture on stealth accounts, no thank you I will pass!

[rsot]

Photo on file? Eww

They are really trying hard to get you to fall for this stuff.

Just like the coin star machines, they are into everything.

[rsot]

Paypal wants money - they will take as much as possible in any way possible. Expansion of course is inevitable

Itunes Gift Cards are one of a very few gift cards that you can purchase with Amazon Gift Cards.
