Paypal Debit Card Canada
Thursday, October 11, 2007 3:51This card is offered to mostly business accounts. If you have a normal paypal account in canada you may not even see the option to get one. They pretty much hide it from you untill you get a business account or hit some level. The PayPal Debit Card is the fastest way to get your paypal funds out of your account. You can use it at ATMs worldwide or anywhere MasterCard is accepted.
I mostly use mine at at the bank of montreal machines since i never seem to have a problem with them. If you tryed to get your funds out before and it never worked then i most likely know your problem. If your in canada you need to have the funds in US dollars. Why might you ask… I have no idea other then paypal makes money on the exhange since the money is most likely in CND funds. It took me forever to find this out and why it did not work.
But now i go to the bank almost every week to get my $400 out. There is a $400 dollar limit that you can take out per day and they will not raise it from what i am told. I called a few times asking if they could bump this up to $1000 a day since $400 is just not a lot of money and the answer was always sorry SIR but thats a NO.
For buying goods online it works great just be carefull if you are buying goods all over the world since they won’t hesitate to disable it if they think someone got a hold of your card and is using it to buy goods. I buy auto parts in California with mine and it has been disabled a lot since i live in canada. I always have to call the number on the back to tell them that the charges are ok and i indeed did make them. After about 2 times of having to do that they seemed to leave me alone and i never had a problem again. I would not make a trip to the USA with this card and buy GAS in Maine and then again in New York. Their is no doubt in my mind if it was the only source of money you had you would be high and dry on the side of the highway.
So yes its a great card for buying online and using up your paypal balance. Another good thing that is in canada it takes 5/7 days to transfer to your bank account. If you have this card you can get the cash just buy running to a ATM. I use this card with paypal all the time even more then my own bank account.
I would recommend the paypal debit card to anyone. Just don’t forget you need to have a USD balance to take out money at the ATM. When i called one time i told the paypal girl i could not get my money out she at first told me i had no money in the account. I was like WHAT!!!! i have over $1500 dollars in their. Sir the account says $0 dollar balance. Then after checking her system or whatever she then found out i was from canada and that i did have a balance of $1500 just it was not in US Funds and that was the problem. So now that you know that. You are all set to go.
