Well, it seems like the original poster is not the only one who just simply wants to just deposit or pay in some cash to their PayPal balance **WITHOUT HAVING TO USE A BANK ACCOUNT TO DO IT which takes SO MANY WORKING DAYS!**
The original poster asked CLEARLY that he or she DOES NOT want to use their bank account to deposit funds straight in to their PayPal account balance.
Sure enough after spending many hours Googling this, **THERE IS ANOTHER WAY TO ADD MONEY TO A PAYPAL ACCOUNT BALANCE OTHER THAN USING YOUR BANK ACCOUNT** -
IT IS BY USING SOME SORT OF PREPAID MONEY CARD CALLED "GREEN DOT" OR APPLYING FOR A PREPAID PAYPAL MASTERCARD BUT AS USUAL IT SEEMS THAT PAYPAL HAVE SELFISHLY LEFT OUT THEIR UK / EU CUSTOMERS FROM HAVING THIS PRIVILEGE AND IT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN MADE DELIBERATELY ONLY AVAILABLE TO AMERICAN PAYPAL CUSTOMERS - WHY??? THIS SEEMS NOT VERY FAIR TO MAKE SUCH A DISTINCTION! 😕
THERE IS A PAYPAL MASTERCARD CALLED "BUSINESS" WHICH IS INTENDED FOR US PEOPLE HERE IN THE UK BUT IT WON'T LET YOU PAY MONEY IN DIRECTLY TO YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT BALANCE FROM A POST OFFICE COUNTER - OH NO THAT IS FAR TOO EASY! - THIS USEFUL FEATURE OF BEING ABLE TO DEPOSIT MONEY (CASH) DIRECTLY IN TO YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT BALANCE INSTANTLY WITHOUT USING A BANK ACCOUT IS ONLY RESERVED FOR THE HIGH AND MIGHTY AMERICAN PAYPAL ACCOUNT USERS WHO ARE THE PRIVILEGED FEW! ALLOWED THIS ADVANTAGE OF BEING ABLE TO PAY IN TO THEIR PAYPAL ACCOUNTS WITHOUT USING THEIR BANK ACCOUNT IF THEY DON'T WANT TO 😞
THIS OPTION TO BE ABLE TO PAY MONEY IN TO A PAYPAL ACCOUNT **WITHOUT HAVING TO USE A BANK ACCOUT** SHOULD BE MADE AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE WHO HAS A VARIFIED PAYPAL ACCOUNT - NOT JUST FOR THE AMERICANS WHICH SEEM TO ALWAYS HAVE AN ADVANTAGE IN ALMOST EVERYTHING! - WHERE IS THE FAIRNESS?
I have had my PayPal account since 2007, The reason I now need this option to pay money in to my PayPal account balance IS BECUASE MY BANK IN MY AREA HAS CLOSED DOWN AND THE NEXT AVAILABLE BANK IS MILES AWAY IN ANOTHER TOWN / CITY WHICH IS HARD TO GET TO (BEING A FULL TIME CARER FOR MY DISABLED MUM) - This now FORCES me to look for another way to "FERRY" money over to my bank account (WHICH MUST BE DONE *INSTANTLY* / SAME DAY BEFORE 3:30PM) NOT IN 3 - 7 WORKING DAYS WHICH IS SUPERSLOW! AND TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE! IN TODAY'S MODERN WORLD.
WE ARE NOW IN THE YEAR 2017! NOT 1917!! (WHERE THE ONLY THING YOU COULD HAVE DONE 100 YEARS AGO WAS TO WAIT 10 - 15 WORKING DAYS FOR A BANK CHEQUE TO FULLY CLEAR BEFORE YOU COULD HAVE ACCESS TO THE FUNDS FROM THE CHEQUE) - WE NOW HAVE COME A VERY LONG WAY DURING THE LAST 100 YEARS THAT WE NOW HAVE CREDIT AND DEBIT CARDS, WE HAVE COMPUTERS AND THE INTERNET! PLUS INTERNET BANKING TOO! NOT TO MENTION INSTANT BANK TRANSFERS WHERE ONE CAN USE THEIR BANK TO SEND MONEY TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS WITHIN 2 HOURS.
MOST INSTANT BANK TRANSFERS IN UK USUALLY SHOW UP WITHIN 10 MINIUTES OF MAKING THE TRANSFER (LLOYDS BANK TO THE POST OFFICE BANK FOR EXAMPLE)
ALSO THERE IS A VERY GOOD REASON WHY I DO NOT WANT PAYPAL TO DRAW MONEY FROM MY BANK ACCOUNT REGISTERED ON MY PAYPAL AND ADD IT TO MY PAYPAL BALANCE - THIS IS BECAUSE THE PLACE WHERE I NEED THE MONEY TO GO **IS MY BANK ACCOUNT!** IN ORDER TO PAY MY BILLS AND ANY DIRECT DEBITS COMING FROM PAYPAL AND OTHER SERVICES - ***ALL I WANT TO DO IS JUST TO TOP UP MY BANK ACCOUNT WITH CASH INSTANTLY! VIA MY PAYPAL BALANCE USING THE FUNDS WHICH I HAVE JUST PAID IN TO MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT BALANCE FROM THE POST OFFICE COUNTER (OR THE CO-OP PAY POINT TERMINAL) WITHOUT HAVING TO DRIVE FOR MILES TO MY NEAREST BANK BRANCH IN ORDER TO DEPOSIT MONEY IN TO THE BANK AND LEAVE MY BADLY DISABLED MOTHER AT HOME ON HER OWN IN THE BARGAIN FOR A LONG TIME WHICH I DO NOT WANT TO DO*** - I DO NOT WANT PAYPAL TO DRAIN MY BANK ACCOUNT EVEN FURTHER! BY REQUSTING FUNDS FROM MY BANK ACCOUNT TO BE ADDED TO MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT BALANCE AND THEN TO BE OVERDRAWN AT THE BANK!!! - INCURRING DREADFUL BANK CHARGES OF £19.99 A DAY WHILST I'M IN THE RED! WITH THEM!!!!!!!! WHILST MY MONEY IS 'FLOATING' FOR 3 - 7 WORKING DAYS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN MY BANK AND PAYPAL EARNING PAYPAL INTEREST ON IT! SO IT SEEMS?? :-((((
I KNOW THAT ONCE I HAVE THE FUNDS IN MY PAYPAL BALANCE, IT ONLY TAKES A COUPLE OF MINUTES TO TRANSFER THEM OVER TO MY BANK ACCOUNT WHICH IS ON FILE WITH PAYPAL. - THE MONEY SHOWS UP INSTANTLY ON MY BANK STATEMENT AND IS AVAILABLE TO USE STRAIGHT AWAY! - THIS IS A SUPERB FEATURE FROM PAYPAL I LIKE VERY MUCH! - AS I HAVE ALWAYS DONE THIS WITH NO PROBLEMS AFTER I HAVE JUST SOLD SOMETHING ON EBAY - BUT MY EBAY SALES ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN SO NOT VERY RELIABLE SOMETIMES - SO THIS IS REALLY NO GOOD TO ME - I JUST WANT / NEED A VERY QUICK AND RELIABLE WAY TO ADD FUNDS TO MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT BALANCE INDEPENDENTLY OF MY BANK ACCOUNT WHICH I AM TRYING SO HARD TO REPLENISH USING ONLINE FACILITIES BECAUSE I CAN NO LONGER GET TO MY BANK PHYSICALLY DUE TO THE REASON MENTIONED ABOVE.
CUSTOMER FEEDBACK FOR PAYPAL :-
"Come on! you guys at PayPal PLEASE BE MORE FAIR! and Give your fellow English / Eu users some more USEFUL privileges JUST LIKE YOU DO FOR YOUR AMERICAN CUSTOMERS - WHAT HARM DOES IT ACTUALLY DO TO HELP SOMEONE?"
WHAT IS GOOD FOR ONE SHOULD ALSO BE GOOD FOR ANOTHER! - IT SHOULD BE A STANDARD FEATURE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A PAYPAL BALANCE TOP UP CARD WHICH YOU CAN JUST TAKE TO ANY POST OFFICE OR PAY POINT IN THE UK AND SIMPLY JUST PAY MONEY IN TO YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT INSTANTLY WITHOUT A BIG FUSS, JUST LIKE PAYING IN MONEY TO A PREPAID VISA CARD OR MASTERCARD ACCOUNT.
QUITE FRANKLY I CANNOT SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS - WHY DO USA PEOPLE HAVE A OUTLET TO ADD MONEY TO THEIR PAYPAL ACCOUNT BALANCES, WHILST EVERYONE OUT OF USA IS JUST LIMITED TO ADDING FUNDS FROM A BANK ACCOUNT WHICH IS INCONVENIENT AND USELESS. *NOT HAPPY HERE!*
