One more thing on PayPal Debit Card Ripoff. I asked the Paypal Mastercard telephone rep to refund my cash money that I had just deposited which he agreed to, but he said it would take 20 days to refund. I deposited cash money and they make me wait for 20 days for a refund? THIS IS A RIPOFF AND PAYPAL SHOULD NOT SUPPORT THIS KIND OF SERVICE. This will also be added to my list of complaints to the California State Banking Commission.

I purchased a pre-paid card at CVS with the PayPal logo for $4.95 so I could quickly get money into my Paypal account. I called PayPal just before buying to make "certain" that I could add funds and then transfer into my PayPal account. The phone support person said that I could immediately transfer money deposited into my PayPal account. At the point of purchase I added $140. Now the trouble starts. I call to activate the card and they start asking me for stuff on my credit report and tell me that there is a $4.95 per month charge to have the card whether or not I use it and they want $ every time I use it for purchases? THAT IS A RIP OFF and nowhere on the packaging does it mention these charges. The Mastercard rep that I called (number listed on card) says that I cannot transfer money directly into my Paypal account with the card. This is a PayPal debit card and I cannot transfer money into my Paypal account with it. I AM GOING TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AND AM FILING TODAY A SMALL CLAIMS COURT CASE to retrieve the $4.95 and deceptive advertising. Also going to the CA State banking commission to report this rip-off.

Ok - Initiated a add funds from my bank account yesterday afternoon. Last night the money was withdrawn from my bank account but it is not yet available in my PayPal account. If the money was withdrawn and no longer available in my bank account then PayPal has the money...why is it not available to me? Does PayPal pay me overnight interest on this money for the days it collects interest in the overnight funds markets?
