Has anyone had any problems adding to their paypal account using cash with PayPal Cash?
Three stores, about 10 cards used, it has never worked.
This is getting frustrating.

The physical Paypal MyCash card has been discontinued as of May. Any stores that still may carry the cards will not be able to load cash onto them, nor will it be possible to reload old cards.
Paypal now has a new option that replaces the physical card to load money onto an account. You no longer go through the step of buying and loading up the card, scratching off the code and entering it into your Paypal account to finish the transfer.
Now you go to the "Add Money" link on the main page of your account on the right side under your current account balance which brings up a pop-up window which guides you through generating a unique barcode page that can be sent to a mobile device or printed that you take to either a CVS or RiteAid store. You do not specify a dollar amount during this process and the code is good only for 24 hours (I think). Only when you go to the store and pay however much cash (up to $500 plus a $3.95 fee) you want to load onto your account and the barcode is scanned is the dollar amount to be loaded onto your Paypal account is set. Within about half an hour you get an email confirmation that you've added to your Paypal balance, pretty much like how it worked with the physical "MyCash" card. One other thing of note is that store clerks no longer ask for ID when loading cash over $250.
I've already tried it and it's pretty painless although it really would have been nice if Paypal sent emails out to customers that this new process was being implemented and the old one dropped. I too, spent time going to several stores looking to load a MyCash card before someone told me they were no longer dealing with the old cards.
