Staff Answer

First, link your card with your PayPal account. You’ll then need to confirm the account, which usually involves PayPal depositing and deducting a small amount of money from your account. You'll need to report the amounts of those transactions to confirm your card. Next, go to the “Add Funds” link on the PayPal website or app and select your debit card under “Add Funds from a U.S. Bank Account.” Enter the amount of money you want to transfer and click “Submit.”

Question

With a PayPal My Cash card, how do I load the money to my PayPal account?

Community Answer

The My Cash cards are no longer used. Now you can deposit cash directly using your smartphone and the PayPal app. Just click "Manage balance" from the main screen, then go to the very bottom and click "Add cash" and follow the prompts to get the bar code. Give it to the cashier with your cash. You can only do this at 7-11, CVS, and Rite Aid at the moment.

Question

Can I receive money from a person in a foreign country?

Community Answer

Yes, you can.You can send them a bill, or they can just send you money by entering the email address associated with your PayPal account. Make sure you don't give out any sensitive information to anyone claiming they will send you money for nothing. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Question

Do I have to switch the money from my saved debit card to my PayPal account, or is that an automatic process?

Community Answer

If you have linked a card to your account and your account is empty, then when you make a purchase using your PayPal account, PayPal will use your credit/debit card as "backup" funding. (This will only happen though if you have the card set as a backup funding method.) Otherwise, you will have to do it manually.

He can purchase a MoneyPak and put whatever amount of money he wants to load to your card on that and then give you the MoneyPak number, or the actual card itself.

How do I do an instant money transfer with PayPal?

Community Answer

Any payment from a checking account will instantly transfer to another PayPal account. Withdrawing the funds to your personal checking account, however, isn't instant because of your bank.
