configure Gratipay's PayPal

[chadwhitacre]

We are receiving money into a PayPal account (gratipay/gratipay.com#3567 (comment)), but there is a $500 per month withdrawal limit. We have to add an SSN and credit/debit card to lift the limit.

I tried adding my SSN and got:

So ... blocking on #196? :(

Ideally we'd also configure PayPal to automatically pass through to PNC, so we don't have to manually withdraw money.

We should have a page like this:

As a workaround, I've signed up for a PayPal debit card. It should arrive in 7-10 days. With this, we should be able to pay our bills directly out of our PayPal operations account.

To remove the limit on my paypal account I just added my PNC debit card since I don't have a SSN and it works ( atleast it said so)

[chadwhitacre]

Well, shucks. That worked! !m @kaguillera

I want to set up auto-sweep but these old instructions don't seem to apply anymore.

[chadwhitacre]

Don't want to call PayPal support from this coffee shop. Will call ... Monday?

I've received the debit card, but I'm considering not activating it now that we can withdraw to PNC. Why would we want it now? Let me see about auto-sweep ...

[chadwhitacre]

Blam. :-)

[chadwhitacre]

Hmm ... didn't ask about canceling the card while I was on the phone. Now it's easier to activate than to cancel it, so that's what I've done. Case closed.

[chadwhitacre]

Well, I guess I'll leave this open until we see our first auto-sweep post to PNC. I expect that to be initiated tonight, and clear by next Wednesday or so.

[chadwhitacre]

Yup, cleared.
