I spoke with two different people today at PayPal and they both spoke with their supervisors because neither had any idea what I was talking about. The supervisors didn't know anything either. Our daughter is doing study abroad next semester in Europe, but her Paypal debit card doesn't have chip and pin (aka emv) on the card. Who do we contact to get cards with chip and pin so we can actually use them in Europe? And don't tell me our paypal cards are accepted worldwide where ever MC is accepted. It's not true...been there and tried it. Only one of the ten ATMs we tried the first night we were in Europe actually allowed the card to work and it worked at ZERO merchants. Panic in a foriegn country in the dark and rain is NOT the way you want to start your trip. The card didn't work at the train station ticket kiosks either. Lucky for us we saw a tiny note on one of the kiosks that said to go to the train station office to use a card that only had a magnetic strip and no chip.
