Paying with CC using PayPal

Anonymous — Thu, 19 May 2016 23:29:53 GMT

I was getting some landscape work done. Was told he takes CC. so now it's use my CC to pay him through PayPal.
Is this acceptable? Considered a cash advance? The bill came to $2150. I was going to run it on my Stash card.

Go right ahead. It won't be considered a cash advance.

It should be a purchase. I sometimes use PayPal for online transactions where the vendor doesn't directly accept Discover, and I've never had an issue.

I agree. Should not be a cash advance. Good luck!

Just be careful WHICH card you use.

I used Cap 1, and it was no problem at all. I have heard horror stories about AMEX, so I will NEVER use AMEX with Paypal.

Funny thing is, I have a Paypal card. Tried to use it to pay for my VPN, and Paypal wouldn't let me use my Paypal card.

It's not considered cash advance, I use PayPal to sell/buy. They can have access to the funds right away but there's protection for the seller and buyer in case anything goes wrong.

If it is your first time sending, they may hold the payment. They hold my payments for 1 day when I use a new card that I never used before.

Hmmmm which card are you trying to use? This happened to me when I tried using my Amex and was blocked, much smaller charges though. Finally tried another card (think my QS) and those same charges went through no problem. Later on, much much later I found out right here on this forum that Amex HATES PPal and can shut you down because people use it as a portal to funnel money...I've seen it happen.

You mentioned earlier in the thread that you've never used PayPal. That's why it's being blocked. A transaction this large out of the gate is going to get a block on a new account, or an account that has seen little or no use.

I could but not worth maxing out a card for this. I could use my US bank but really didn't want to. Penfed would put it around 50% UTI. But has the lowest APR. was just trying to keep the UTI low on the card I used low.

My guess is because you are new to paypal and it is a new card. Have you verified yourself with paypal? Usually that makes things somewhat better.

Yea I'm verified with PayPal. Cc, bank, phone number.
Guess it to the bank. Kinda puts a damper on funds. No casino this week. Lol

So after a little bit of figuring it out I had to pay as a guest and just click link ( pay now ) through my email use a email not registered with PayPal. The results on the CC as a guest are as follows Usbank=negative, stash=negitive, penfed promise= allowed payment
So I really didn't even need a PayPal account.

yea made absolutly no sense to me either. If trying to use anything with paypal it would kick it back. I did end up calling again and it was because the newer account and such a large transaction so it was just a no go using paypal logged in to my account . So basically i had to use it like I was just checking out as a guest and put in a CC number. the things i couldn't fo as a guest--use an email associated with a paypal account or use a CC asociated with an account.. The funny thing is I did get solicited to sign up for the CC a few times and the "take time to pay" offer? even if i was thinking about it I was so fustrated based on that I would have said no.

lesson learned. I'm not a paypal person LMAO
