I put money in over the post office yesterday and it's on the card today. However, I also put some money on before I went to the post office via paypal. The paypal payment isn't showing on there yet. Does anyone know how long it takes for the paypal payments to go on?

When I transfer money from paypal to my bank account it takes 3-4 days, so I assume transferring to the card must be about the same.

It's annoying really as they can take money off you instantly when you pay for something, but when they're putting money your way, it's a different ball game!

Paypal payments appear on the card the following day.

I have transferred money up to 11PM, and the funds have always appeared on the card at around 2PM on the following day.

I've not had a problem with them at all. Any payments paid across by me at the Post Office have been there the following day.

Never done it from the bank account though.

I have only every transferred money to my paypal prepaid card from my paypal account and I find it takes 2-3 days. To be honest I thought it would be alot quicker than that :)

I've always done mine at the Post Office, and ok, it costs me £1 but at least I know the money will be there the following day.

I had transferred it in the morning and at around 2pm the next day it went it. Just for people to know for the future.

It's a prepaid card. If you look on the Paypal site it will tell you all about it.

It costs £4.99 to set up, and the same again when it comes up for renewal. No monthly fees and £1 to top up at Post Office, but nothing from a Paypal account or a bank account.

I believe it costs if you want to withdraw cash from an ATM though.
