PayPal does offer their own debit card that is linked directly to your PayPal account. You get 1% cashback on purchases.

I use it and think its pretty nifty, do a google search for paypal debit card cashback and you should find it.

Yikes! Two bank accounts? There has just got to be a better way around this problem. Although, it seems the PayPal peeps don’t have any intentions on changing their rules.

Anonymous, you’re exactly right. Money to money transfers are free, but paypal won’t allow me to transfer the money from my husband’s account to my own, because his account is no longer ‘verified’. You are exactly right though, the money is a credit, and thus we should be able to transfer it without a problem, which is why I’m so ticked off that PayPal won’t allow the transaction.

I hear ya, and agree with the whole problem on limited conections to a card or bank account

what i did was called up my telephone banking people and opened up a new account, bit of a pain having to have another account, but it saves me from having to switch info back and forth. So i now have 2 chequing accounts and a savings account each one hooked to a different paypal account

The $$$ should be a credit in his PayPal balance, no? So using the send money feature he should be able to send the money to your account and you can then withdraw it into your bank account. Person to Person money transfers like this are free within the PayPal system.

I haven’t tried a debit card. Thanks for the suggestion.

Do you have a debit card? I know they sometimes can act as credit cards. Can you link it to your husbands’ account? I don’t have paypal, forgive me if you’ve explored that route.
