AUSPOST Load&Go & PAYPAL DEPOSIT

[LilyPily]

Can anyone shed light on why I am unable to ADD (i.e. make a deposit) into my PayPal account via Load&Go card which has fully verified CCARD# as well as ACC & BSB number with PayPal? Notes in my PayPal account are: "Transfer from Bank Account Failed".

Everything on the Load&Go card has been verified and confirmed with PayPal(i.e. PayPal verified bank account number and ccard number with a 4 digit PIN and I have verified this with PayPal all is ok here).

I will call Load&Go and see why in the meantime ...

Yes, I do have money in my Load&Go card that I want to deposit into PayPal (i.e surplus funds).

[LilyPily]

The problem is when Load&Go and PayPal all is ALREADY established verified and ready to go - I CANNOT make MY OWN deposits from my Load&Go card into my PayPal account?

I am on the phone to Load&Go and on hold for 15 minutes (hopeless call centres...) If I find out the reason why I will let everyone know...

Ok, finally got through to them. They said that because Load&Go is PRE-PAID credit card all banks (and PayPal too) have placed "RESTRICTIONS" on them. So from what Load&Go have told me (I will call again and speak to a different person to see if they give me the same answers!) even if I went to a legitimate bank and tried to withdraw money from my Load&Go card into my bank account the bank will strict this and funds won't go through.

Is the above information that Load&Go have given me correct or is there a way around this restriction? Any ideas anyone?

There seems to be a lot of issues with Load and Go cards. I personally wouldn't have any more than one of this cards. It's best to stick to actual bank accounts and CC to be safe.

I think you may need to call them to get the restriction removed? You should be able to withdraw money out of an ATM though.

Let me know how you go.

Also, I think these cards are intended as a pre paid Visa Card/Debit Card. You can put money on them but when you withdraw it has to be using the CR function or you can withdraw directly from an ATM.

Lil. I think you are using the Load & Go as if its a real bank acct. Its just a vba[australian] and prepaid c/c. Just dont push it by trying to 'add funds' to your paypal acct. You may have to add a real bank acct or do a dreaded transfer if you are dealing with a negative balance paypal issue.

[LilyPily]

Yeah I know.

Load & Go is a vba - cant be used to withdraw too?

[drphilly]

You can use it at an ATM to withdraw money out. This is subject to ATM fees though

Can foreign $ be added to this prepaid CC?

Just use entropay
