post of the year...i never thought about it that way. wow

do you have to dial a certain number...like 911 or are they already on the line when you pick up your phone? and what if its a cell phone just hit send?

I guess that post is almost as bad as getting caught digging up your nose?

You guys are to funny!

lol i believe this is a cheap shot. :boink:

still looking for a few different ways to get money out of paypal, by bank, air, sea, and or whatever works! and lets not talk about it here...it might last longer!

Lol.. this thread going sideways?

the best, and still really the only method that is guaranteed to work (yes in my opinion) is to open a new bank account and withdraw funds that way

ING Shut me down closed all my saver accounts
 

Before I read about this many months ago I used ING and the names didnt match and they closed me down same day and returned money to paypal.
ING name must match paypal name or you will get a cal from security dept from ING and will be shut down if you dont answer the call just like paypal tactics.

I want to use my walmart money card with paypal to withdraw funds from paypal.
I went to paypal to add card and they the name i use with them(paypal) is this allright?
Does it matter that my real nfo is on card and paypal is using my ⊗⊗⊗⊗ info on there site.?

DON'T USE A WAL MART MONEY CARD (AKA SUB PRIME BANK ACCOUNT OF THE YEAR) TO WITHDRAW FUNDS FROM PAYPAL

Two reasons....

1. The money card has a certain limit for incoming deposits before the bank gets suspicious. How do I come to this astounding conclusion? Well... if I'm a bank, and I'm going to markert a product to SUB PRIME customers, I'm going to throw u red flags when they've got thousands of dollars coming in a month electronically.

2. Paypal knows it's a sub prime bank account....... Use something legit. Why not use ING, and link to a real bank account? HSBC Savings, US Bank, bank of america, suntrust.... bb&t, most credit unions... all of these work fine.

Is there just a stigma behind a wal mart money card? You guys think you're being sneaky?

Yes, better to use a real bank account vs. greendot.
I had been withdrawing to a couple greendots and things ended up getting real ugly in the end.
I guess what happened was PayPal didnt like me using greendot for direct deposit.

I got my accounts closed after about $2k of deposits. Spread out over a month and a half.

Greendot is not the wal mart money card, but they're pretty much the same thing.

Paypal doesn't like you to use either, because it's still all about risk assessment. If you're using a sub prime bank account, IMO you're a higher risk.

Just to clear things up:

1. Paypal cannot see your name on your bank account (unless there is a reversal or you make a Paypal payment using funds from the bank account). If you are just using it for withdrawals they won't find out. Certain banks allow names to mismatch for deposits and certain banks don't. Paypal does not include a note with all their deposits about names matching or any other nonsense like that.

2. Green Dot works fine for some people. To blanketly say it does not work or should not be used is just very narrow minded. HOWEVER, you have to use some common sense. Open no more than 2 accounts per week and immediately close out any old accounts you are no longer using. The key is not to act too irregularly with the cards. Also, keep the withdrawals to under $200 per withdrawal and they don't seem to mess with you. Green dot is a great option for a lot of people.

3. I don't know why people still use bank accounts to cash money out of paypal anyway. If you are creative enough you can figure better more private ways to get your cash. You can also avoid the real big brother this way too.

I thought greendot only lets you have one account, and if more than one they shut you down?

I currently have 11 active green dot accounts going.

under the same persons name?

...The silence speaks volumes. :)

You can pick up as many greendot cards as you want at 7-11, they work great for Amazon.

i soooo wish someone would PM an elaboration on this. i would love to bounce some ideas off someone about that very topic. for those of us with large numbers of accounts this information is so important.

www.xoom.com used to be great for cashing out PayPal but they discontinued PayPal as an accepted method. Not sure if theres any other legit sites like it.

I thought I would chim in. i have used walmart money card to withdraw, but not over a few hundred at a time, or too be safe not more then 200 a transfer or $1000 a month. this has been talked about in other threads. As far as for mass verification is NOT ideal.
These are NOT throw away cards. You cannot get direct despoit details until after you buy, get home and activate online! At that point you will need to use Real name, address and SSN, as it is a real bank account.

because of this it not good for mass verification. Each time you buy a card it' $23 min purchase. As you have to loaf $20 min to a card. The biggest prob. is that will be one time use. once used on a paypal you cannot use it again because the number will be in there system. This option is only suggested if you cannot get reg. bank accts. for whatever reason.

Best: Get multiple saving accounts from ING, Ally Bank, Virtual Bank and use those for bank verification only!

Walmart money cards cannot be used as vcc because they have you real name, address and social attached and it NOT stealth at all!

Lot of work for me since I am in Canada but ha shoot me a pm =)

PP is NOT a BANK! That is why they can do the things that other banks CAN NOT or else it would be COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY ILLEGAL.

It is unclear as to whether they are a bank... technically, it's impossible to say in no way shape or form are they are a bank, but they're not still. This is why they're allowed to get away with the things they do, as you pointed out.

Wal mart money cards on the other hand, ARE BANKS

Yea but you can use PP to your advantage where using a bank they know who you are.

Yes, all the accounts with green dot are in one name. I have 12 now. The key is not buying a bunch and registering them at once. Spread it out and don't do something to flag yourself. I never make a deposit above $200 at a time and I do about 3 per week and have been going strong for 5 months on my oldest active Paypal.

this is true i just apply today anD GOT APRROVED 7 TO 10 DAYS THEY SAID.

:doh:


:deadhorse:

when you register the card on ebay to make your sellers account,i assume you have to use the same name that your card is under,aka yours? how do you get around that? also dont you have to use the correct address when registering the card on ebay which is your real address since a replacement has to be mailed to you?

ebay will put the card through an AVS .... so yes, the address needs to be the same

there are more scammers in online to hack your paypal money beware of them....they are using some tactics to block your account access....

Hacking in general results in the account getting limited... that is one good thing about paypal and ebay. If you're account gets hacked, they can usually tell fairly easily and require ID's and what not... but this is a pain if you just happen to log in when you're out of town for example.

I read somewhere on here that people do not recommend the walmart money card. Many were saying that these are an automatic flag to ebay/paypal.

That's true. Prepaid bank accounts are considered a last resort. Banks like Bank of America and Chase are a lot better. :typing:

DO NOT USE THE WAL MART MONEY CARD!!!!

They won't last, they don't work.... they suck.


get a traditional bank account at a real bank

I am still trying to figure out why, for some people, getting a REAL bank account is their last resort! The only reason I can see to not want to get a real bank account is because your going in to your stealth account wanting to get kicked off. Nonetheless, we know that eBay and PayPal are definitely not idiots so its going to automatically be a RED flag if your using these cards.

What is the best bank for creating multiple accounts in Canada, and possibly for low monthly fees or free?
