Author Topic: PayPal is an starfish  (Read 2010 times)

Alright, so I bought a Visa gift card to buy minecraft, because my dad would not let me use his credit card. It turns out Minecraft did not accept it, so I resorted back to making a PayPal account. Well, I cannot transfer funds from my gift card to Paypal, but guess what the starfish, paypal, did. It took 1.95 to verify the card, and it did, promising refunds. I clicked verify, and then it transferred it to my PAYPAL fund. So now I only have 18.05 on my card, and I need 19.95, and with no way of getting the money from the card onto paypal, I am loving screwed.

DAMNIT.



have you even waited?

24 hours. The time it told me too. I didn't realize that I couldn't transfer from the Visa card until after it took the 2 dollars :C

Keep verifying until it takes all of the money? :o

It only verifies once

I think.

If not, good idea.

just go plow a lawn

oh wait.

my dad thinks his credit card will be stolen or something.

Can someone buy me MC please? I will buy them an 18 dollar game on steam with the card :)

Double post bump :/

Or you could make some more money and buy another card to get a Steam game AND Minecraft!

Genius!

EDIT: Not meaning to be smart-alec of course.

I cannot get MC with a gift card.

Do what you just did.

Get a Visa gift card and put it onto Paypal.

Did you read the OP?

Tell your dad he's a pusillanimous individual
