protowill Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahTheWeebWolf Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 can you walk me through where i can add this giftcard to the balance Do you have a pin for the gift card? From my conversation with paypal it's as simple as putting the pin in as you would a credit card. Id call paypal for more specific instructions but I am sure the rest is pretty self explanatory(go on paypal,go to wallet,click add card put the pin like you would any other card number).

LoudPacks Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 the only problem with this is you cant transfer the prepaid visa card cash to your paypal balance, so theres no way to put it from the card to your bank for real cash, you just use it to pay for things online instead of with paypal balance. You can request money to one of your emails and checkout as a guest using the prepaid card. I do this all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im just letting other people know so they know its not going to work the way you want it to. Did some research found this https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/template-management/prepaid-gift-cards I am going to go ahead and conclude giftcards.com is pretty backwater sadly and for whatever reason they wont allow paypal but as seen in the link above paypal welcomes prepaid giftcards with open arms. Once I find a site that offers prepaid online gift cards and doesn't have an annoying stipulation like the site I found previously then things will work. I apologize for not being 100% certain in this particular site but nonetheless I stand by my fundamental argument that having a customer pay via giving us a prepaid gift card is the ultimate method of selling gold safely and securely and I am not giving up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordy Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 This should be like a requirement. lol this is so smart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahTheWeebWolf Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 This should be like a requirement. lol this is so smart. Thank you but sadly the method has been thwarted(even if only temporarily but still). Apparently... Giftcards.com imposes a strict restriction on all interactions with paypal. Bummer because as it stands pay pal has no issue with prepaid gift cards from visa,MasterCard etc. In theory this can still work but a new website must be discovered who can delivery the cards pin via email(so far no luck finding one, so for now I am sticking to bit coins only via coinbase.com).
