I got my paypal debit card in the mail today! Now when I get paid from mylot I don't have to transfer money and wait for it to get there. I can just take my debit card and make purchases at stores or online. Plus I can use my earnings from mylot and ebay and wherever else to use online at places that don't take paypal but do take mastercard! WooHoo! Now I wish I had money in my account lol.

Paypal does not charge a fee for the debit card. It is just like a bank debit card. the thing I like is when I hit payout at mylot and they make a deposit to my paypal account I can use it anywhere and won't have to transfer the money from my paypal to my bank and wait for it to get there.

Wow! I didn't know they had those either. That's great. I wonder if I'll be able to figure out how to get one. Does it cost money to have one?

Not sure if this is just a US thing or if it is available internationally wouldn't hurt to check it ou though. I hate transferring money all the time so that is why I got mine and I can use it anywere they accept mastercard also.

I've had one of those for years. They work just like any other MasterCard. I even used it last year in Moscow and Archangel'sk.

That is great that you got your debit card today and hope that you enjoy it. Of course, it will be hard to enjoy if you have no money in the account. :-) It sounds pretty convenient but I still prefer sending the money to my bank account and earning interest and make my savings account go higher so I have money when I retire. How long did it take for you to get the debit card? I wonder how many other people use it.

Well it took about a week and a half. I earn 3% cash back when signing for purchases made with the card too. so that is a perk.

I love my PayPal debit card. I have had it since I opened my PayPal account 6 years ago. I use mine all of the time. I actually used it 3 times yesterday. I am always getting money from eBay and from myLot and DBP, so I never run out of money on mine. I am down to about $35 on it right now though since I just spent some of it.

login to your paypal account there should be a button to apply for debit card on there. you will know if you are approved within 24 hours. I had to apply twice before I got one. The first time I hadn't had enough transactions on my account (I had a new account at the time).

I have heard of this paypal debit card for I have paypal and they are for ever trying to get me to get one. It would be nice but I know I would end up blowing everything I had in my paypal account and I want to see it build and use my checking debit card for purchases istead. Who knows maybe I might give in some where down the line break down and get one. They are nice from what I hear of them though.

Wow. That is really good and convenient. I had no idea that they even had paypal debit cards lol. I guess you learn something new everyday. I dont really get too much money into my paypal anyhow so I guess it really wouldn't do me too much good.

I don't have a whole lot going into my paypal right now either but hope that will pick up with being more active here at mylot and my listings on ebay. But around novemeber I have a lot of money going into mylot cause of my letters from santa payments go in there. I will really enjoy this new card then.
