If you change your suggestion from "dump paypal" to "add another payment option, I will give it a +1 (as long as it's not something stupid)


^^^ this ^^^ is the best way to be absolutely sure the info you give anywhere on the web is useless to the crooks. They wanna hack a disposable C-card, then let 'em.

About 400,000 Yahoo accounts hacked, company discloses

SAN FRANCISCO - Yahoo confirmed Thursday that about 400,000 user names and passwords to Yahoo and other companies were stolen Wednesday.


Good to know that my bank account would be save with a invulnerable service like PayPal. Always like taking extra needless risks.

Tried that in the past. Paypal will not let you use a prepaid CC anymore. Or at least all the ones I tried. I tried bank prepaid Walmart, and even online order ones. Even after setting up the info to re flick my info. Still No good. Card is not accepted. Use alternative method.

If anyone recently has gotten a prepaid CC and got flex with it. Please PM the card you got. Where and all thanks

I have run more than that through PayPal in a day.



Its low like that because hes obviously not Verified (seeing as he hasnt linked his bank account)

But back to speedkillz problem, you should probably stop wasting your money on shitty dots anyway. Paypal could be saving your wallet right now, and for good reasons.

Ive used walmart money cards for flex b4, the latest being this past off-season. You can also buy a greendot card and upload the cash on ur paypal account.

I can understand the OP's concerns. I do not trust Paypal one bit and I would never give them any of my bank information. I don't even have a Paypal account. Why offer up such sensitive private information to a middleman? I only do the "Pay with credit card and set up an account later" option.

This is what I do - prepaid credit/debit card. It's not linked to your bank account unless you choose to do so. Anyone that steals the card info only has access to the amount deposited on the card. You can deposit virtually as little or as much as you want. I deposit only what I know I will be using in a short period of time. It is quite possibly the safest way to pay online without a check.

There's no reason to have to use PayPal, a credit card, or a bank account for online payment anymore. Prepaid cards are sold nearly everywhere. Everything else is just offering more options for the sake of convenience - which is what consumers like. Hence, there's no reason for GLB to dump PayPal or any other payment option unless it directly impacts GLB. Agents have plenty of ways to pay. They can just use another option, like the prepaid card which can be set up within 30 minutes in most cases. That's less time than setting up a credit card, PayPal, or a debit card linked to your bank account in most cases. Pretty simple.

PayPal has had my Bank account number since 1999. I used to run an online business, and Ive never had a problem. Ever.
