Paypal SUCKS!!! I had a paypal mastercard for over 5 years. Annually I have been spending about 20k on it. Then I noticed some funny charges and to be safe told paypal to cancel the card and send me a new one. EIGHT WEEKS LATER (today) I call them to see why I still have not received the replacement card.

Now they claim they do not offer this to Canada anymore!!!! I have used it for such a long time for all my business expenses! What the heck gives them the right to just cancel it when I ask for a replacement? When I first reported the card compromised, they agreed to issue a new card, told me it will arrive within a few weeks and then decide not to issue a new one?? What the HECK??? We Canadians are screwed!!

Seriously.. I can’t believe how unprofessional they are.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention I was getting a 1.5% cashback.. I guess they got so cheap that they didn’t want to pay me $300/year. This is sad.. I will now be using my airmiles card. Also I will now only have less the 100 in my account rather then what I used to have.. Try making interest on that paypal.

Nice article! I’m thinking about signing up for a paypal debit card (I tried a year or two ago, but gave up, not sure why), and I just wanted to know what they require. I have a confirmed bank account (and am thus verified). I know they need a confirmed credit card, for address purposes, and I’ve heard how Paypal is about security, do you think it would be a problem if the first name on the credit card isn’t the same as the first name I signed up with paypal?

And also, do they require a social security number, or anything else to order a paypal debit card?

And one more thing, is it possible to use prepaid cards (such as GreenDot) to withdraw money from paypal via bank or something?

Thanks lol

One of the possible problems that keep Paypal from offering the debit card outside US is the fund localization during transactions.

Can I withdraw money in India using PayPal debit card issued in US? If yes, what are the transaction costs involved? Would really appreciate a response
