So I just got a new national bank visa debit card. It's debit meaning it uses money I have preloaded on the card and not credit which is where u borrow money and pay interest. It can be used just about anywhere, pretty much anywhere a visa card can be accepted.One annoying thing now is instead of swiping the card in eftpos terminals it has a chip so it has to be inserted in the machine.
I bought McDonalds and had to both insert then swipe my card. Unless i didn't need to insert my card in the first place but I don't know. Older machines you still just swipe.
So far i've used my card online for 2 things. Firstly I renewed my domain www.darcylee.co.nz which cost NZ $22.44. The second thing I did. I clicked on the paypal donation button on my website and donated myself US $0.05 cents.
At first I couldn't get paypal to work. It was a little tricky. I found that I had to input my initials where it asks for your first and middle names. That and I also used my actual billing address that the card would be linked to, but i'm not sure if that was so important. It was mainly getting the information from the card right i think. I wasn't filling in my middle name.
I found that I get an email contact plus I would be able to see any address you entered.
Another thing I also did today was transfer my domain www.darcylee.com to another host. It was really simple all I did was get the UDAI which is like a security number for your domain and then goto the new host that I wanted and put the number into my account there. It was transferred in seconds . I think it was because it was a .co.nz domain name between nz hosts that it was so quick and easy. I'm not sure if .com domains would be so quick and easy.
Another thing that happened is that one of my 2 transactions attracted a $1.00 fee as there are 3 transactions showing as visa holds in my online banking.
Right. So mission. I have a paypal button that can people with "Cards" give me money. All tested and everything. I have transferred money from my paypal account to my normal bank account which is linked to my card and spent the money. I sold some World of Warcraft gold. Like 5000. But I was paranoid that I would lose my account. So I don't think i'll do that again. I only got like $20 bucks nz for it anyway. And I thought that I would much rather have the gold at the moment. I have 50000G at the moment. That't not that much compared to some but it's a lot compared to when you start out.
Also I can now authenticate my paypal account with my visa debit card. This means I withdraw more than $500 dollars per month from my paypal account.
So i'm looking for people to give me money. I would say that the minimum donation is $0.50 cents US as to avoid the minimum amount of paypal fees. Please if your willing donate $0.50 cents minimum or whatever you can afford.
I have $1.69 NZ dollars in my bank account and I thought that I would give that away to someone. I'm going to upload $0.50 cents US into my paypal account. I'll do it now.
So I just deposited $0.50 cents into my account. The net amount I received was 18 cents US. So if you give me 50 cents I get 18 cents. Not much. Paypal must be making the big bucks with a commission like that. I'm about to upload the rest sec.
So I put another 60 cents US which is coming up as 86 cents NZ, into my paypal account. Again the fee was 32 cents. It was the same as putting in 50 cents.
I now have a paypal balance of 55 cents US which I'm going to look up someone in google and donate them the money. They will receive about 23 Cents. Preferably i'm looking for someone in nz. Sec.
So I just donated 70 cents NZ or 52 cents US to Wellington Cat Protection League. It was just some random cause I got by searching for "Donate Paypal NZ". http://www.cpl-wellington.org.nz/
Thats all my money gone for the week. Payday 7 days away next Wednesday. The Wellington Cat Protection League will get approximately $0.20 cents US. LOL All that came from the $1.69 NZ I had in my bank account.
So anyway I'm Broke now so please give me money through paypal. You have instructions now. I managed to work it out in the end took a few goes. I even rung the bank. They couldn't help. All it was that I was filling out some of the details wrong. Anyway Thanks For Your Time.
