The PayPal Top Up card is a new product from PayPal. It gives you control over your money, use it like a debit card to make withdrawals from your PayPal account, or use it at home or abroad wherever you see the Visa logo. Topping up your card is as easy as making a PayPal purchase, and you can manage your account using the Online Account Manager.





You can see this exact thread in the buy and sell section aswell as i posted it there by mistake :1orglaugh

I think they could get huge

So they finally pushed the card...

It's a good idea, but when it comes to paypal - I just don't trust them

What's the difference between this and the Paypal debit card they've had for years now?

I don't trust them.

Seems like an update / few new features but they thought marketing would be better as a whole new thing

No shit sherlock...

They are owned by e-bay, who bought them for a couple cool billions back in the days ;)

I've had a few problems with PayPal before.

Can see this having issues aswell...

I notice that link has a UK in it. I changed it to US and it doesn't appear. I also don't see anything about it in my account, which is a US account. Could just be a UK thing.

Yeah, it's only in the UK.

So yeah, it's the debit card for the Uk. Actually, after reading it's a little different. More like the GreenDot prepaid cards we have here, that you can add funds to from your Paypal account.

Sorry! late night last night, early start this morning!

This is the correct link if anyone is actually interested :D

I have the debit card. That sounds exactly like the same thing...

If there were more anonymous payment methods that were easy to use and were trusted there might be more sales from China and other areas of the world.
