Paypal MyCash $500 daily load limit resets after 12:00am EST
Paypal MyCash $4000 per calendar month load limit resets after 3:00am EST

An additional $4000 per month can be loaded using Greendot Moneypaks. See the Moneypak thread for issues with these. Limit purchases to no more than 2 x $500 at a time.

To get a live PayPal MyCash representative, call 1-855-721-5035, press 1 to all the voice prompts until it asks you for your PIN, and then press 0#, 0#, and 0#.

If you are getting error code 26 when loading MyCash to your account:
  1. Login to Paypal on a computer, not phone
  2. Go to settings (it is the gear)
  3. Choose selling tools on the left
  4. Scroll down to: Block payments -- Limit payments, add instructions, and more -- and choose update
  5. On the page "Payment Receiving Preferences" select the first radio button, "For the items not sold on eBay, Only allow payments from the users with confirmed address."
  6. Be sure that NO is chosen
  7. Save and you are done

They will have to give you a refund if they shut it completely, but you are getting ahead of yourself. Keep all receipts, as always.

Had this error message for 6 days, and cannot load at all. Had account for 10 years.

Multiples calls and no fixes. Paypal does nothing.

Have only loaded 2K in last 30 days.

The error code of 26 was a ..... for me for many months. Was wondering if this answer belongs on the Wiki - but was afraid to update the wiki in those days. Anyway - the answer is:

    On the page titled: Payment Receiving Preferences
    the first radio button: For the items not sold on eBay, Only allow payments from the users with confirmed address.

    Be sure that NO is chosen

    save and you are done

    Worked like a charm!

    It happened out of the blue. It always worked OK before and haven't changed those settings recently.

    You did what 10 paypal reps could not do!
    Thank you very much raccah

    Did this also change what you see for a reload limit or just remove error code 26?

    This is ONLY for error 26 when loading the cash card - NOT the limit change - sadly that is still F'ed up for me and others. Incomm is killing this approach according to some.

    Do you mean preventing the loading PayPal accounts with their own cards?

      Any suggestion while waiting monthly limit reset?

      I think many in this thread have realized that, possibly near 7/3, the monthly limit of the paypal load has stopped resetting. It means that despite 30 recurring days, your used quota of the $4000 monthly limit won't be released for a new load.

      I tried to contact the customer service number of paypal my cash cad, 1-855-721-5035, but nobody talked with me. All respond was system automatic response (BTW, unlike VR, you can't load paypal my cash card via phone). So now thanks to AA Exec, I have 10K my cash cards stuck in hand. Any suggestion how to liquidate them if the problem persists? Worst case, if this is a permanent shut down of loading privilege, what's your way to deal with what's left on your hand?

      Wow $10K of PP cash cards. Why would you do that? You can only load max of $4K/month.
