I just discovered something with my Paypal account that I thought would be immensely useful for those living on less.
They have this really nifty free add-on to your browser. It’s called Paypal plugin. It has multiple nifty features – like keeping track of your receipts, auto-fill for forms, and the like. But the most nifty thing is that you can generate a secure mastercard number – for one purchase or many – and it comes directly out of your paypal account! And I thought, hey, that’s nifty and useful for people that can’t get a debit card, much less a credit card. (And by the by, Paypal has a debit card as well for real-life POS transactions) For the longest people in that situation have been unable to shop online and take advantage of the huge discounts available – unless they did a check or money order, which takes a long time. But now, you can!!
I just think this is really neat.
