Are load and go visa's ok to use from aus post?

I wish to set up another ID but dont have another bank account that I can link to Ebay and Paypal so my question is as a Seller

1 Can I use a Prepaid Visa from Australia Post?

2 If I sell an Item and someone wants to deposit funds into that account Can They?

3 Can I transfer funds from my Paypal Account to that account?

Thank You All In Advance

Paddy

You only need a different email address to set up a new eBay ID, and can use the same PayPal account, credit/debit card or bank account for the financial side of things. 

 

I'm not really sure how the load & go cards work, but there are probably limited ways they can be loaded and probably don't have an associated account accessible via other means (if they're anything like the prepaid Visa cards you used to be able to get, anyway), and I suspect you wouldn't be able to transfer PayPal funds to them, although you can use PayPal to pay a number of bills / services online via Aus Post, so I think you'd be better off checking all the T&Cs etc for the cards on the Aus Post website.

I didn't think another bank account is need just a another email linked to your paypal account.

 

I think you can but I would check on how to top up the AusPost cards on their website, maybe it can only be done at AusPost stores. I think they are just like any other visa debit.

 

I have a free account with my bank (progress saver) linked to my main account which I use for ebay and use online banking to transfer funds around.

to link an existing Paypal account to a new ID,

http://pages.ebay.com.au/help/account/link-paypal.html

so as has been said ๐Ÿ™‚ you can then use exactly the same bank details etc. you have set up in your single Paypal account, with several different eBay IDs by linking each ID to the one Paypal account.

You do need a different email address for each eBay ID, but it is easy to get a new free address, e.g. gmail
