I want to know if it's possible that after I open up a paypal account and that when they pay me and sent the funds to my paypal account, is it possible that I transfer those funds from my paypal account to my oDesk Payoneer credit card?

Ok so this is the scenario that I'm thinking of doing which I want you to check if it's possible.

I have an oDesk Payoneer credit (debit actually) card.
Now I don't have a bank account, yet.
We really can't send money through that card unless we'll send it from our odesk accounts.
Now there are some people outside of the oDesk marketplace that wants me to work for them.
The thing is they want to pay me by simply sending their payment through my Paypal account instead of signing up in odesk just to hire me.
So again, I want to know if it's possible that after I open up a paypal account and that when they pay me and sent the funds to my paypal account, is it possible that I transfer those funds from my paypal account to my oDesk Payoneer credit card?

    Giuseph,

    Don't ask us, ask Paypal.

    It depends on lots of things. For example, which country are you based in? Which countries are the funds coming from? Are there government rules in your country (apart from Paypal's TOS) which prevent/limit the movement of funds?

    For example, in Turkey you can't use funds sent to your Paypal account from abroad to pay people outside the country. In other words, you must withdraw those monies to your Turkish bank account first before you can use them.

    You can only withdraw paypal money to a bank account - or spend it - cannot do anything else with it.

    Dude just use google checkout, it's much better trust me.

      Jason,

      Again, it depends on the OP's country - Google Checkout is not available in every country.

    I will suggest you not to go for Paypal account, you can open account in moneybooker which is a best payment processor than paypal.

    Hey,

    We currently do not support direct loading of the Payoneer prepaid debit card via PayPal.

    If your account with oDesk is active and you have received multiple payments to your Payoneer account, you can apply to request an invite to the US Virtual Account pilot program, which you can then use to receive funds from PayPal.

    For details on that contact our CS department.

    Thanks,

    Many things depends on your country. Paypal has different rule for different country. So before creating account ask everything. Don't get nervous. Its safe.
