    Sorry to hear it's not working.

     

    It's strange because my conversation with paypal and the card site led me to believe otherwise. Have you considered calling either company for more information(and being specific of your plan).

     

    It's not technically a payment through paypal it's more of a transfer of funds. The fact you got the card on there is a good sign. you could buy gold with it when sending money as a gift still. So the point still stands this method could still work if you try to use the card to restock your gold after getting a card as payment for a previous sale.

     

    Nonetheless I do apologize it's not working for you currently

    nope you cant send money as gift with it through paypal at all you cannot buy credits with it even on this website using it as paypal card or just using the giftcard itself so im guessing its limited to very few sites you can spend it on like amazon. Im just letting other people know so they know its not going to work the way you want it to.

    SO after an hour of trying to get this freakin card on my paypal or to buy anything with it i find this on the egift  site saying
    Transactions for online gambling sites, adult websites, money transfer services, PayPal, and recurring bill payment will be declined.

                                                                                                                ^^^^^

     

    also saying you cant transfer the money.

    Perhaps there's a wait but it's not necessarily going to be a long time like 24 hours(I could probably call the gift card company to expedite it). Even if it is a significant wait that's truly not my problem since the buyer chose to buy gold from me not the other way around(when I buy gold I'll let them decide how we do things).

     

    I figure if there's a subset of the market willing to buy with btc which is much harder then there's definitely going to be some hybrid of btc/paypal users who are cool with this method too and ill mainly sell to them and get my shit I need. I doubt I will ever compete head on with bigger sellers but that's not my path in life so I don't really care.

     

    Bottom-line If enough sellers use this method it'll become more common and make it easier to find customers. That's why I posted this I am trying to purge the gold selling community of this plague known as paypal so that perhaps someday unless paypal gets seller protection for virtual goods I can make this nearly as popular as paypal where at least half of rs07 gold buyers will be willing to use this method willingly/if asked.

    can you walk me through where i can add this giftcard to the balance

    That's not true at all. I called pay pal twice to confirm, and they said yes you can load the prepaid visa card to pay pal since it's considered a visa card and as such the prepaid gift card is compatible anywhere visa is accepted. Once you add the card to your card list as you would any other credit/debit card the funds get instantly transferred free of charge to your pay pal balance.

    The only real drawback which can easily be overcome as long as you avoid small trades is the $5 activation fee which again isn't so bad depending on how much profit you make per dollar when you buy and then resell. In my case, I could still get $10-$15 profit for every $100 worth of gp sold and generally speaking I only really sell 50m+ per order so this works for me.

    alright well im going to test out this theory soon within an hour ill come back with the results
