Emailing everyone saying you can withdrawl from paypal but not stating in the email or anywhere on the site that it is only possible for people who signed up ages ago is pretty misleading.

I followed your guide exactly only to find out that I can't withdrawl.
Waste of $18.

Hello,

Why do you think it is working only for people who signed up long time ago? It is not true. We offer Visa virtual card now - it is available for everyone.

I am also not sure why you spent $18, when the card costs $3. Have you ordered plastic card instead of virtual one?

Hi All,

A piece of info for those who is going to make a wire transfer from South Africa. Turned our our bank's account in ABSA bank is blocked (or something like that - in other words it is not working).
We have the ticket open with our bank and they investigate the matter.

I will post an update here once I have any further information.

In the meantime, if the transfer is urgent - you can use the bank in some other country (make international transfer), however mind the associated fees which your bank may have.

Trying to load my virtual card (GBP) and I get Service Unavailable - Try again later, but with no refID?

We expect GBP settlement to arrive soon, and the card load will be back available. I am sorry about this inconvenience.

I know I'm bothering you with my question's , but I want to know if your card works on DigitalOcean (hosting providers , take in consideration that I have the Visa) .

According to their Help, they seem not accept our card:
https://www.digitalocean.com/help/pricing-and-billing/general/

Do you accept virtual, electron, debit or prepaid credit cards?

We apologize for the inconvenience, but because we receive a large amount of fraudulent sign-ups we’ve had to restrict the use of virtual/electron and debit cards in some geographies. We made this decision after finding that up to 80% of abusive sign-ups used these types of cards. If you would like to pay with one of these cards, we recommend using the card to send a payment via PayPal.

**

Our card prepaid debit (Visa in your case) issued by Gibraltar bank. I am pretty sure they will not take our card (though "in some geographies" - might not be about our card. I would advise to contact their support and double-check.

Just some advice to some people, these cards don't work on a few sites.
Here are a few that I know of.
- Western Union
- iTunes
- Google PLAY
- Vimeo

Thank you for sharing.

Yes, WesternUnion confirmed they do not accept our cards (or prepaid cards w/out bank account in general).

Regarding Google Play - I have an open ticket with the bank right now - as Google Play is able to authorize funds on the card, and they claim the bank declines transaction. So I am checking with the bank why. I'll post an update here if it is somehow possible to use the card with them.

iTunes is very sensitive to the card's billing address, where it was issued and what country you are in, and what type of card you are using. Most likely they do not like the cards being issued by Gibraltar bank.

Also mind the card will not be accepted on sites which require 3D security (confirmation via SMS).

Does the card's billing address need to be same as my paypal account's?
I know this issue is related mostly to PP than Wirex, but I guess you could help me with this...

I linked a card recently but the addresses are not the same and now PP won't let me withdraw (I always get Internal Server Error, but only when I choose to WD to the e-coin visa, not my personal card).

Any workarounds?
If I order another virtual and link it, would I have better chances?

Hello,

Unfortunately, I do not know for sure. I've heard our clients concerns about this situation (card's billing address is different from PayPal's), however I have never actually faced this to be the reason of PayPal refusal to send funds to the card (or clients did not share this).

I would actually recommend to ask PayPal support. It might be they do not like the card issuing bank being in Gibraltar, or the fact this is prepaid card (PayPal in different countries has different regulations about what cards to accept). Or something else.

If they confirm they do not like your card's billing address - we can update it. This is not a problem (you do not even need to order a new card). Just let [email protected] know.

I have a MC from E-coin in USD. Is it possible to load it from PayPal? Cause I can't seem to have the option to order a virtual visa card from E-coin.

Unfortunately, PayPal does not allow to withdraw funds to MasterCard.

We hope we will be able to offer two cards in each currency for our clients: one virtual and one plastic. However, it is still not settled, but we have such idea.

When they first started , they was giving Visa cards which you could link with your Paypal account (and withdraw Paypal funds to the cards) But now they are only giving MasterCard which means .. NO you can't do that anymore . I feel lucky that I started using their services at the beginning.
