Paypal debit card

Does any members here have that debit card privilege?I believe it's
only offered in US Accounts,it's not even offered in UK.
From the looks of it,it offers convenient withdrawal capability from any ATM.
So you get to enjoy your cash anytime you want it.

If you had alot of money in your paypal it could be useful, for me though I dont withdraw from my paypal, I keep all my money earned in there so I can re-invest it into my sites,

It been offered since day one to residents of the US and Canada. It is sometime redundant because if you withdraw monies to bank accounts in these two countries, it usually only takes 2 days to arrive so you don't have to wait long.

But it is great for emergencies. If you are on vacation or on the road and something happens, you can either withdraw money at the ATM or use the card to pay for transactions right at the point of sale.

I am a verified non US Paypal account holder but not eligible to have a Paypal debit card. If it takes several days to withdraw your Paypal funds to your Paypal debit card then it is more practical to withdraw the same funds to your local bank account (with ATM card) since you will incur lesser fees.

It doesn't take several days to withdraw your Paypal funds to your Paypal debit card, it is instant. If you have available funds in Paypal you can use the card for POS transactions or you can use it at ATM's, although since most ATM's charge a $2 fee and Paypal charges a $2 fee to use it you end up with a $4 fee to take out money. I have a card and if I don't feel like waiting it is very useful.

Does anyone know if they have any plans to introduce this internationally? It sounds fantastic - could really come in handy for when you're travelling overseas.

I would seriously doubt it. Paypal has such a tough time with fraud control that it wouldn't be wise to offer the card in other countries when they can barely handle the fraud problems they are encountering in the US.

my problem is that i do use paypal but dont have a credit card addon.

so if i want to purchase domains or other stuff (eg through godaddy) i can not proceed to the payment

should get a credit card as soon as possible

(:

i dont know,
perhaps it differs from country to country.

what hosting companies do you use?? for example .. i cant buy domains through godaddy, when i go to checkout with paypal .. it always asks for credit card

i can send money too. but at bigger company sites the payment with paypal is always tied on a paypal credit card addon (thats my experience)

shakiz26 · #13 (**permalink**) 05-28-2007, 01:20 AM

mhm,
i have used hostgator web hosting for a long time. but i found the prices were to high.

you will see and have to decide if you want to assume hosting with them after the 1 cent testing periode.
