Any reason why you cannot buy reload cards online, and instead have to lug to a physical store?

Not many retailers sell other retailers gift cards online. Only one that I know of is Staples.

Besides, people who have been doing MS for years have already thought about what you were thinking. If it were possible, trust me, people would be making a thread on this.

Quick question. I haven't kept up on this thread as I use my paypal account regularly and don't want to risk a shutdown. I recently got the Magic Johnson prepaid card which accepts MP and allows $500 atm withdrawal per day for free at MoneyPass atms. Since I have a moneypass atm in my office building it seemed easy enough to pull out $500 a day. After I loaded my third MP however they shut me down and I'm stuck with $1,500 in MP. How can I best unload these through PayPal without getting shut down?

Withdraw $500 per week. Paypal probably won't shut you down for that.

Bought the PayPal MyCash card w/$500. Keep getting an error when attempting to load to my PP account.

How many Paypal Business account may you have to load with PP cash cards?
I noticed that business account doesn't require SSN.
I am thinking about scaling opportunity...

Best of luck getting your money back (in a timely matter) from PP.

You are still putting your PP account to risk. Especially if the remaining MPs are from the same batch. GD shut you already with that MJ card.
Some just ask for MP refund from GD based that its impossible now to load the intended card, and not to create link to healthier account.
Or open another GD compatible card. There are a plenty. likely you will need it in future anyway as you have access to MPs.

I plan to start purchasing reloads to apply to my account, transfer to my spouse's account, and then withdraw to bank account. (May mix in some regular spend on the PP MC as well). My question is whether there is any evidence that VR or PP reloads are safer than the other for loading the account up in the first place?

Also, is the $4,000 per 30 day limit per reload type, or per account? I ask, because I've seen references in this thread to people loading $8k in a 30 day cycle.

Its revolving 30 days which means your limit is going to vary throughout each month. For example, lets say you bought $1K on Jan 1st, another $1K on Jan 7th, and $2K on Jan 13th to hit your $4K monthly limit. Remeber that you can only load $500/day so its going to take 2 days to load $1K.

Lets say its next month on Feb 5th and you want to reload more onto your Paypal account, your Paypal account will show that only have $1K available to load since its been 30 days from your Jan 1st purchase but not from your Jan 7th or 13th purchases. And then on Feb 10th, another $1K will be available and so on and so forth.

However I should note that Paypal will look for 30 days from the redemption dates rather than your purchase dates. I just made the example easy assuming you buy and unload the cards as quickly as possible...unloading $1K that same day and the next day. Its not a calendar month thing so don't try loading $4K in PP cash cards the last 8 days of the month and come the 1st of the next month you can load another $4K.

People that say they load $8K for Paypal is because you can have 2 PP accounts. One Personal and one Premier/Business and max out on both. However this is very risky and not worth it. If you care at all about your Paypal accounts since they are tied to your SSN, you do not want to draw a lot of attention by depositing and withdrawing to bank accounts.

Are you sure the card is activated from the store? Also is your PP account set up to accept PP Cash cards?

So you tried withdrawing $500/day for 3 days in a row? RED FLAG RED FLAG RED FLAG!! Wow that is not a smart move. How many MP's do you have left and why do you have to use PP to do this?
