Ok, so I put a prepaid mastercard card onto my paypal to buy something. I had later realized that after I spent the money on the card, I had a product on grailed (shoe selling app) that had unfortunately sold. It said that the transaction had been pending for some time and was on hold. I tried to tell the buyer to refund or cancel their order but they said they could not. They want a refund or to get the item, but I want the money and then ship the item. I am wondering if you could switch like bank account cards or something in the middle of a transaction and make the receiving of money go to an account that can take money. My prepaid mastercard cannot have money added onto it. I am stressing out that they might press some kind of charges or something. I am quite young and do not have much money. I want to make the money go to a friends account and they could pay me the money they received in cash. But, when I tried to remove the card from my account, it said something like "If you remove the card from your account, the transactions will save, along with any pending transactions", or something of the sort. HOW DO I GET MY MONEY AND SATISFY THE BUYER?? PLEASE HELP!!!

You must add your bank account or debit card on the Wallet page and then Accept the Money to transfer to your linked bank account or debit card. It is not recommended to add another person's financials to your PayPal account, it could cause security issues with your account. Do not remove the prepaid card because your purchase is pending or something like you said.

 

I believe you have to accept the money within a certain time/date or it gets returned automatically. Click on the transaction for more information.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
