I swear, I am about to blow a gasket. WHY can't we have another payment option other than paypal? Its 2019, Rover.... how about getting into the current decade? rrrghhhhggh.
Yes, I know we can also get a check. Hello 1985. But with the various options out there, it seems we could have at least one other electronic payment option, preferably one that doesn't suck.
Can we start a Venmo revolution please?
Not sure what your beef is with PayPal but it has always worked fine for me with Rover payments for the past 3+ years. Sure it may be nice to have other options, but if it ain't broke why change it?
I agree, I love it! Never had a problem.
Have you had a problem with Paypal? I've been using it since it first came on the scene, mainly for eBay, and haven't really had any problems. My funds get transferred in one business day.
Since Paypal owns Venmo, you would think there might be some cross-app functionality. But it appears that Paypal is more suited to businesses (a merchant account). This article is pretty good at explaining the slight differences and why businesses haven't embraced Venmo:

Good luck with your revolution though. :-)
I don't hate PayPal. But I do wish there was another option for payment, especially direct deposit. I lose out on my bank benefits simply because my job can't do DD and PayPal doesn't have that option anywhere either. \
I too am happy with PayPal.
I actually have both a PayPal and Venmo account and have not had any issues with either.
If I need to transfer money to my bank account, I can very easily. It only takes a day or two to transfer money. I also find their customer service reps have been very helpful. When shopping online- a lot of retailers take PayPal. (which makes shopping super easy and convenient). One extra bonus that I like with PayPal is that you can get a card which in a sense is like a prepaid debit card. It is linked to my PayPal account so if I have the funds in my PayPal account I can swipe outside of the internet and the funds get pulled directly out of my PayPal account.
I would be curious if you could be more specific on what you are upset or having issues with? Maybe one of us can help give you tips so PayPal works better for you.
Best of Luck!
I also hate Paypal. I receive errors all the time! Venmo is ownde by Paypal, so I do not see that correcting the problem. AirBNB and other similar services do direct deposit the day after a stay ends. It would be nice since Rover does charge a lot more than AirBNB that they offer more services like direct deposit, both to decrease the wait time for a payment and less hassle. I emailed Rover support this as well and included the many errors Paypal kept giving me. Paypal also had a data breach a few years ago and released all my personal and banking info. I am not happy with being forced to use them!
I'd prefer another payment option available. Other companies and individuals use direct deposit all day long.
I am with you. I freaking hate PayPal. The fact that I have to transfer my money twice just to have it in my regular bank account is absolutely ridiculous. I've had to wait 5 days also before receiving my money because it's in PayPal holding limbo. The fact is that that is our money that we worked for and we should be able to access it as soon as possible, not wait for PayPal to decide that we are worthy enough to receive it. Add another to your payment revolution for additional deposit choices! The people must be heard!!!!!!😄👍
I agree, I hate PayPal SO much. It’s just a hassle and think Rover needs another way to pay. It is almost 2021, let’s get with the times. It normally works fine for most part but I withdrew a few hours ago and still hasn’t shown up, normally it’s immediate. During these times, some people need there money sooner than 3 days.
Withdrew from Rover to Paypal? Or withdrew from Paypal to your bank account? It is not an immediate thing from Paypal to your bank account. The fastest is one business day. If from Rover to Paypal, it usually is fairly immediate, but I wouldn't necessarily place the blame on Paypal.
I, too, am very curious as to the issues you're having with PayPal. I've been using it for years and have never had any problems. Money transfers into my account easily, and it's easy for me to transfer money to bank. I don't use the debit/credit card they offer, but I have a friend who does and uses that more than her bank account. The only problem I ever had was with setting up the ability to take credit cards through a reader which ended up being a combination of user error and very tight security. But I didn't really need it as I have Square. Maybe if you provide some more details on the issues you're having we can help more? Good Luck!
I’ve been trying to add a bank card or back account to my PayPal and keep gettin I have limitations to my account even after the proof of ID and ss# I do agree there should be another way to connect for payment it’s ridiculous cause I can’t even get money from rover cause my paypal been acting up this been going on for a month now it’s to the point I feel like there’s no reason to accept walks if I’m never going to receive my money and I don’t feel comfortable with a check cause rover already takes a large fee from walks and babysitting and ect so the extra $2 fee is ridiculous
I agree, I use Venmo all the time. I wish they had a Venno option.
I myself do not like PayPal because because the instant transfer fee. I prefer using Cash App
if you order a PayPal cash card which is free, what do you know! PayPal is pretty awesome because whenever you get any money put on their direct deposit or whatever it may be, it automatically becomes available on your PayPal cash card and you can go get the cash back, ATM or use the card.
Yes, I agree, I would like Rover to use Venmo, it is easy and safe and quick, unlike a check! I feel your pain
Once you get PayPal set up right, there great, and trusted. But the new Stripe service is straight corruption from a company that can't be reported to American regulators. Don't give them your Bank info!!! Just let Rov. account build up, it won't be long, Rov. will drop them.
