Why is PayPal not accepted as account payments

[Brandonlelievre]

This has likely been asked over and over. I’m just curious as it is a payment option to order the SIM cards it seems odd it wouldn’t be offered to pay for the account top ups.

Pre-authorised debit is not a currently accepted mode of payment at PM.

How autopay using a credit card be different from preauthorised debit from a debit card? If one works the other should too. No?

convenience is out of the question since it is easy to setup, has got to be the additional fees that Paypal charges

If a service like Spotify can justify it, surely Public Mobile could too.

As for preauthorized bank payments, that is what the Visa Debit cards are for, as the funds are directly withdrawn from your bank account.

No other carrier allows PayPal for monthly services.  Public Mobile is no different.  The overhead is too high and will end up being passed to the payee if PayPal were allowed.

It may be the fees associated with accepting payments with PayPal. It's probably cheaper to have just a voucher and credit cards? I would like to see pre-auth debit from bank accounts.
