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

Purchased 2 in 1 transaction last night without issue.

Anyone else having trouble logging in or loading mycash cards this morning? Every time I try and login to the mycash site I keep receiving "Sorry, there was an error, please try again later. Error Code: 1x0". I tried chrome, ff, and IE all with the same issue.

This happens to me occasionally. Try on your cell phone or just keep chugging at your computer. It'll work eventually.

The site might be down for a few minutes. Keep at it.

Was denied buying a PPMC card with cc @ a local RA. I assume this is just a one off thing?

I'm fairly new to the PP avenue. Was successful at one RA yesterday. Will head back tomorrow and see if there was a recent change in policy.

My RA has been cash only for everything except fixed value (i.e., $100 or less) GCs for a while now.
