It says I have to add a credit or debit card in order to get it? I'm paying with the money I've earned onto pay pal though.
...ive got no accounts attached to mine. Yet I paid using the $25 USD I got from selling stuff on here...
"To complete this payment, add a debit or credit card to your PayPal account. Your card will not be charged unless the transaction amount exceeds your balance." Why do I have to add a card? I just want to pay with my earned money on paypal. Cant I just gift money to the AU paypal account?
^ Nope. I created a US-based account and my spending limit is $0. Then I created a non-US one and my spending limit is $1600. Both do not have credit cards / bank accounts attached to them. I am allowed to send money for the latter, but only up to $1600 (meaning a TOTAL of $1600... after that, I have to switch accounts o.o). I can't use the gift option on this one, so I've to pay fees. For the former, although I technically can use the gift option, my spending limit is $0, so that's as good as nothing. Not sure if people are facing the same problem as me.
But wouldn't that still have the same problem as trying to pay straight to AU? Unless I'm getting your problem confused.. you can't send money "out" right? And if that's the case.. that hurdle would still be there
First you'd actually have to find out if it's possible to do that, and then figure out which one would be willing to help you, so it depends.
^ Yeah... same situation here. Well! Looking on the bright side, the money's still yours. I'm just going to have to wait another two/three years to get a card. When I do, I'll be able to 'free' the money in there. ^^
