So basically there is no reason to have it? If I can't use it whenever I want, what is the point of it? I'm not asking you that directly, I am just stating that there is no use for it then... If i have to jump through hoops to use it... seems very pointless to have and/or offer to customers if you aren't going to let them use it. ... View more

I setup my PayPal account, I started the PayPal credit, got approved, but it doesn't let me use it for anything... I tried to buy something online, doesn't work, tried to use it on Ebay, doesn't work, tried paying an invoice to someone for them drywalling and painting my basement, doesn't work, tried to just send them money from it because it said that was an option, doesn't work... How come I was approved for this but it doesn't work for anything? How can I get this work properly? Any insight would be appreciated...Thank you! ... View more
