Hey guys,

One of my mates has a Paypal account but he cant add money with an aussie bank accoutn and cant work out how to use his card. Is there a way to do this? Preferably the bank account way?

Cheers,
Brad

One word of advice, STEER CLEAR of PayPal. They have a track record of highly questionable operations, total lack of customer service, and basically have all the signs of a smalltime dodgy dot-com suddenly made big.

The best thing you can do for your mate is to get him away from it pronto!

Yeah I wouldn't go near it. Too many people I know have had 'payment' problems with it.

I guess if he wants to stick with using paypal and he's using US Paypal then maybe he could try the new AUS Paypal - he shouldn't have any probs using an AUS bank account with that.
