For the past couple of weeks I have been trying to get myself one of those handly little paypal debit cards; I get paid for some of the work I do here via paypal and I have lost patience with the time it takes for the funds to transfer from paypal to my bank account. I only have the one bank account even though Arnold has been trying to persuade me for ages to get an online savings account - we have a joint one but I am not fussed about collecting accounts like he is.
So I thought getting a paypal debit card would enable me to have instant access to my money and this would be a boon when I am on holiday. The bone I have to pick is the ruddy ‘verification’ process…
First I had to verify my bank account - done; then my address – done; then my phone number – done. So why was I constantly getting denied? it was so frustrating – it turns out the reason is because I am not on the local electrol rolls. Naturally because I am not a native here and cannot vote!
I am fed up – paypal can keep their bloody debit card!
