My reply is based on some of my experience consulting in retail, but its all VERY speculative....
My theory is that PayPal / Vanilla / etc pay the retailer $480 for a $500 reload - i.e. they are losing the $20 expecting to make it up on transactions, such as the 0.50/ca that MVD card charge. That way, PayPal/Vanilla are the ones that lose when we instantly liquidate the cards

Has anyone ever successfully the resolved the "Identity Verification Failure" error on paypal.com/cash? This is NOT a normal paypal identify verification error that is resolved through the Paypal Resolution Center; there are no Open Cases in the Resolution Center. I tried to navigate the phone menu but it's obviously designed to keep you as far away from a human being as possible.

Anyone had trouble with Paypal that was legitimately using it for the right reason. I read an article that paypal is trying to become more user sensitive.
On the other side I have read about massive seizures as well.

Not sure when it happened, but the 5% APY linked savings account got nerfed. No longer $250K limit, on 4/2013 it will transition to $5K and only 0.5% above $5K balances.

Has this happened to non-sellers? I don't any selling and when I buy from eBay it is with my credit card.

with PayPal, anything is possible.. they have been talking about cleaning up their act, so some of these policies might change, but until we see them, nobody knows for sure..

I'd link a checking account that would be closed soon. Like a chase account which you signed up for the bonus and planned on closing 6 months after opening in order to churn their checking accounts for the bonuses.
