You are not logged in. (Thanks for Scaring Me PayPal Plug-In
PayPal seem to have expanded their secure cards scheme (whereby you can get a single-use Mastercard number to use which links to your PayPal account) to the UK.
Great news… or it would be if the required plug-in actually worked. Not only are both the plug-in and the website both refusing to create either of these for me, but the plug-in just scared the hell out of me by claiming that the main PayPal website was a fraud and I’d just given some fraudster the password and e-mail address necessary to use my bank account.
One changed password and two changed security questions later and I checked the address. The plug-in didn’t complain a second time, and it was the legitimate main PayPal site.
So thanks guys, but would you mind, y’know, actually getting it to work..?
[UPDATE] What a surprise! PayPal still haven’t got back to me, and as far as I can tell from reading around a bit, even though the secure cards appear to be made available to users outside the US, it is actually only Americans that can use them. Once again, PayPal has ignored the UK. Cheers folks.
