Paypal - options for balance transfers
Hi - I have been trying to use my new Balance Transfer CC to pay off my PayPal credit - but it seems I can't - even though there is a Mastercard 16 digit card number. Any ideas how I can sort this? If I request a physical credit card would that work? thanks for any advice x

If it was me I would have gone for a Money Transfer card.
Transfer money from card to bank account then pay off Paypal in normal way.

As mentioned you need a money transfer instead. Many cards that have a BT will also offer a MT but at a slightly higher fee rate. Check to see if that's possible for you.
