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

Yes. $500. PP cash cards.

I have a resolution to my PPCash loading issue with my SO newly created business account.
The first load would not show up in the PP account balance and after several days and calls to PP we finally got someone who understood the issue and advised to add another email address then make that primary then delete the first email address and then add it back and make the second one secondary and then delete it after making the original primary again.

Well that worked after logging back in after doing the email address hokey-pokey the balance reflected the $500 MyCash load.

SMDH….paypal

Look for a data point definitely clarify what I said above. For example, if you don't do MS but happen to load a $500 card last month (so your remaining balance shall be 3.5K), does you monthly limit go back to 4K after 30 days, or still stay at 3.5K? It is a useless data point to simply say you have 4K limit if you haven't used your 4K limit last month since there is nothing refresh this month and you won't notice the problem.

However, I guess those who do not do MS won't bother reading this thread .
Last month was the first time I loaded more than $1000 in a month, but I didn't get to $4k because I wanted to ramp up slowly. I only loaded $2k in the past 30 days, but I am seeing only $500 more available this month. I have, however, loaded $3500 since 5/31, so if May *and* June didn't reset, I would only have $500 left. Maybe that's it or maybe it's random.

This worked for resetting my limit. Thank you for posting!

UPDATE: Looks like I spoke to soon. Initially it showed the updated limit of $4,000 (which would be correct - I had finished loading $4,000 this time 30 days ago). But then when I tried to load I got a blank page after clicking "Yes, Load it up!" I logged out and logged back in hoping that would fix the problem, and then it showed the no-reset limits ($500 daily, $0 monthly). Shoot!

has anyone made any progress of finding out if / how / when the $4K limit resets? or is this a sign that paypal is freezing everyone's limits until they figure out what's going on...PP my cash is a great way to save on fees and this card works at WM!

Problem has been fixed on both my accounts. And based on the monthly load limits I'm seeing, it seems that they have moved to real calendar months, as I'm seeing my remaining balance for the full month, but the 30-day rolling limit would have been less.

Never called or did anything, so I'm guessing it's been fixed for everyone.

does getting the biz card result in a credit pull? Closing on a refinance in a week and don't want a surprise pull to jeopardize that

Does anyone have two PP Biz Debit cards (one for themselves and one for their SO) on a single PP Account - much like most of us do for a normal bank account? I ask because I wanted to know if the 2 Debit card has the same or different debit card numbers?

Thanks!
