well usually you would do it by bill express but they have gone "bankrupt"

but you can still do it by bank online transfer you will need 100 point identification to do that

yeah, thats what i said, its weird lol they should announce something rather, any way,

just go into your local post office or 7/11 (im talking sydney, but other locations may vary) and ask for the pre paid visa. although you cant re load them they are sort of like psn cards, but you can use them anywhere. PS store friendly. availiable in 50 dollar or 100 dollar

like i said,

you cannot re load the card.
the card costs $6.00 on top of the credit (the only bad bit)
sony may take $1 dollar out to check account, and then put it back.

www.prepaidshop.com.au/

can use instores and ps store.

ive used it , no problems with it

Direct Payment from 1 account to another takes 5 days to clear. I used mine again today at the supermarker (Over 200+) and it works so I cant see why yours isnt

Bill express owns bopo. As bill express is now gone, you can't load in newsagencies anymore.

I got another reloadable visa card the other week, canvas visa card. It's similar to bopo but is heaps cheaper and you can buy the actual card in the shops

canvas actually has much higher fees that bopo did/does.
bopo has a $1 loading fee, while canvas has a $3/95, plus monthly keeping fees which bopo doesn't.

personally i think this is ridiculous. bopo was/is really good, particularly when you are underage and are unable to get a debit card through a bank.

i'mpretty sure that ezipass is the same as bill express, wouldn't bopo simply have to make a switch to another company through which cardholders would load their cards?
