Need to meet a spending threshold? Paypal my cash cards
« on: September 03, 2013, 09:33:36 PM »
A friend of mine told me today that you can buy a card called Paypal my cash card in some pharmacy's, then on your Paypal account there is a option to link a my cash account to your Paypal account, from there you can transfer the money from your my cash account to your Paypal account and then you take out the cash from Paypal and all that with no fees (besides the $3.95 when buying the card!!!!! you can buy them in CVS and in Rite Aid as well.  anyone heard of this? experience?

Sure. But PayPal will most likely close down your account.

You open a new account.
The problem is if they shut your account and you have money un there, it will be a pain in the neck to get it back, and that's AFTER they keep a chunk to themselves.

Actually I have a better idea.

I have a paypal merchant account set up as telecommunications.

If you send me money, you will get 5ppd on a ink card...

The fees are only 3%....

We can split the 1%....

DO NOT PM ME, THIS IS A JOKE!

Huh?
To be more clear, you load it to your account, and send it to a trustworthy friend like AP, who transfers it back.

So? You can still send people money with PayPal. A can send B the $500, who can withdraw it. So A doesn't have to withdraw it himself.
