What a pleasant surprise! Paypal Digital Gifts purchases have been going smoothly of late for most people.
PPDG is a favorite place to buy gift cards since they earn 5x with INK and the cards come quickly via email. They often offer discounts to boot, both on eBay and direct PPDG sales.
There have long been two problems with PPDG purchases. Firstly, there were obscure limits as to how many gift cards can be purchased per day or month. We tried cracking the code many times; here are a few renditions.
The other problem was the verification texts. PPDG has a practice of sending verification texts after a certain purchase threshold, a number that varies by the account. Fair enough. But their IT was messed up and verification texts often went into an infinite loop without ever being able to complete the purchase.
The good news that I’ve been experiencing, and have heard from the other the same, is that both problems seem to have been largely resolved sometime in the past month or two. The text verification requests still come but it’s a quick and painless process. And the volume limits are mostly gone as well.
Now, I’m not saying you’ll be able to buy tens of thousands in a single day – maybe and maybe not – but I’ve had no problem buying $1,000 or more in a single purchase. And I’ve done a many thousands of dollars worth over the past month.
Not everyone is experiencing Paypal’s remorse, but from what I hear, most people are being treated fine both from the IT end and the bandwidth limitations.
We might have to do away with one of my favorite meme’s of all time. 🙂
