Just Curious......I FINALLY have the opportunity to sign up for an ATM DEBIT card thru Paypal.....but when I went to do it I see that you cannot have a PO Box...(although my verified address is a PO Box and has been almost since paypal started)....The problem is...I live WAYYYYYYY up in the woods in a small upstate PA town. There is NO mail delivery unless I want to put a box wayyyyy up on the main highway for anyone to tamper with....I am on the edge of two postal routes so my "physical address" is NOT the town where my PO box is...and BOTH towns are "blink and you will miss em" types..... and if you send something to my physical address it will be returned .......To make a long story shorter.....I called Paypal and they are going to try and see if there is a "workaround"....but I thought I would check and see if anyone else has this problem and if you did...what did you do to solve it?????
I wish businesses would understand that SOMETIMES people have PO Boxes because they HAVE to as well as want to.
I also live in a blink and you miss it town. 50 of us here. I don't have door to door delivery, I live in the town itself. I have a P.O. Box assigned. I can still use my physical address and the PO lady just puts it in my PO Box when it comes through.
Every now and then I run into one of those have to have items that the seller will only ship to physical address even though it goes through USPS.
I would just talk to your PO about stopping anything with a physical address and just putting it in PO Box.
.. and if you send something to my physical address it will be returned .....
