prepaid credit cards with direct deposit option to verify Paypal???
 

OK I have a Paypal account thats about a year or so old that I have been receiving payments in for the past month. Just noticed that I don't have a bank account linked and the account is not verified. The Paypal account has right about $2000 in it. I have been sending money to my girls Paypal account with no problems so far. In the past month I have sent her $600, $200 and $100 with no issues. I'm thinking it's probably really important to link a bank account and verify the account ASAP as I need to send a $1000+ payment to a company for products that I sold this week! Linking a real bank account is not an option. Instead of getting a VBA and going that route, can I use a non-linked prepaid card thats got a direct deposit option to verify the Paypal account and get withdraws in the future. I have 7 prepaid cards that I have never used in my name in my possesion. Will any of these work:

Mango
Walmart Money Card
Rush Card
Account Now
Ready
Upside
Netspend

As far as i know, withdrawing to any of these will get you limited.

Unless you want to lose more money and your girls Paypal account I would clean up your act a bit young Jedi.

You cannot drive a coach and horses through the banking system, robbing banks, treating them like your personal cash cow and then keep asking us how you can carry on doing it to them. That isn't what we are about. We are about Ebay & Paypal - not screwing banks

I would start by paying back the $4000

I am in the process of making payments back on the $4000 now to Navy Federal. They gave me an amount to settle and I have paid about 75% back on that to date. Most of all these accounts I had when I was young and stupid. All over 5 years old and I'm paying all of them back now to clean my credit up and get out of Chexsystems.

Someone told me to try and open an account online at TD Bank. Went online to tdbank.com and started by opening a savings and it worked!!! To tell you the truth I was absolutely AMAZED as I have been rejected from anywhere and everywhere over the past 5 years except for NFCU and USAA but there military bank and anyone can get in there online...

Good luck with it - learn and move on

Good luck to you and I'm happy you're working with Navy Fed to clear up the issue you have with them. My only child/son is active duty Navy and is currently deployed aboard the USS Enterprise/CVN 65 (based out of Norfolk when they're not deployed). He has his checking/savings/car loan at Navy Fed. I wish I could bank there but they will not let parents of active duty military participate. :pout:

I have an investment account at TDAmeritrade and when I looked at their banking website, tdbank.com, my state is not listed. It looks like they're only on the East Coast.
