Strange, I was sending those loaded funds to my ex-wife (in Canada) for more than 2 years in a row, and didn't get any warning whatsoever.

Are Green Dots still working to load Paypal with frozen limit? I'm going to try it soon (maybe today), as I'm going to buy a few to load Serves.

Anyone (besides post above) able to successfully load PP cash into remained quota in recent days?

Last time I loaded was 7/6 and it reached account fine. The not resetting issue existed already.

Yes. Two different accounts. $500 each.

Could you not just get the paypal debit mastercard...link it to your paypal account...then add your credit card you are currently trying to ms on to your paypal account as your default backup payment source....then go and do a serve load online...it will see you have no funds in your paypal account and so it pulls the needed funds from your backup funding source (the linked credit card). You could also load at a kiosk this same way without issue as you are using a "real" debit card yet it will pull funds from the credit card as there would be no funds in your paypal account.

Honestly i have no tried this specific use for serve or Msing yet as i am waiting for a new card to arrive (mine had expired awhile back before I decided to integrate paypal into ms so i needed to have a new one shipped). BUT I know in the past i had a credit card that the strip was messed up on...so i just set my paypal account to use that card as the default backup funding source...and i just used the paypal debit mastercard for a few weeks whenever i needed to use that credit card before i got around to ordering a new copy of the card.

heck...you could buy money orders, load serve, pretty much anything you need to have a debit card for...and since a credit card is setup as a backup funding source it will always pull from that.

Why pay any fees buying gift cards or paypal reload cards?

Backup could only be your bank account or Paypal Extras MC, no any other card.

Does your credit card statement show Paypal as the payee? What volume did you do over what period of time?

blaz Jul 12, 2014 4:56 pm

No you can't. A backup account for the PayPal debit mastercard can only be a bank account, not a credit card (except for the PayPal credit card).

I was researching that latest info after i wrote that post and realized that it was no longer possible to do that anymore...it was awhile ago that i did it...back before i started msing....so please disregard....sorry

I successfully loaded GD MP onto frozen Paypal account!
Looks like the problem is with Paypal MyCash and not with Paypal itself.

So MyCash is locking us out? That is nasty! Some here are opening secondary accounts and moving money around and others are saying not a good idea? In the end, this 30 day window is only getting farther out - so have they essentially "closed" our MyCash accounts? Is that is what is going on?

So should we wait until Aug 1 to see if the limites reset, or just start the refund process now. (For those who have PP MyCash cards, and have been unable to load.)

Nelumbo Jul 13, 2014 5:57 am

Indeed there is another 4K quota to be loaded with GD MP.

The resetting is supposedly based on rolling window. Not sure waiting until next month would make any difference.

Based on what I've seen with other cards, my guess is that, if you haven't gotten your 4K "reset" when it was due, they've blocked you and you're never going to get it. I'm in the same situation, btw.

Any release of the limit is just upside.

Damn so they have blocked my well seasoned PP account darn them! Now if I start with a new account - PP may not be so happy, but hey that is the MS game I guess.
