Post Billpay - PayPal Is No Longer an Option

Did anyone try to pay bills through Post Billpay lately? I am trying to pay the energy bill but the Paypal option is no longer available.
I was able to do it with Paypal last month and it's not there anymore on Post Billpay website.

  • PayPal rapidly losing validity.
    In the good old days you got free postage on returns. I think it was about 10 per year.
    As for Post Billpay. Didn’t know that was still a thing

      Good thing about Paypal is there is a layer to secure credit card details. You know how many firms retain your credit card and leaks it. Or you put into buying something and in inside job happens.

    It depends on the merchant/entity you are paying.

    Yes, PayPal is still available.

  • Still works for me.

  • The merchant your are trying to pay may not have opted for PayPal payments while signing up for Post Billpay payments

  • Yeah its EnergyAU.

    • Is there no processing fee by Post BillPay via PayPal? Does processing fee still apply to Post BillPay via card?

    Do a Bpay from your bank account

  • I was able to do it with Paypal last month and it's not there anymore on Post Billpay website.

    Was the payment last month to EnergyAU?

    • It was Red Energy so yeah. EnergyAU does not support paypal.
      I like the pay in 4 installment in Paypal and it does not charge any fees.

      • Probably easier to then…

        Work out annual electricity bill
        Divide by [number of pays per year]
        Setup up auto bpay in your bank app to pay $xx every pay day.
        Set and forget (almost)

        • eggsactly :)

        • Another Paypal benefit is that it supports Amex so I can earn Amex points. Bpay does not allow you to pay with Amex cards.

    • Wow this actually worked. Damn I have just paid it with a credit card. I'll book mark the link for future payments.

      • After you choose PayPal and click continue, it shows "The biller does not accept payment by this payment method".

        EA lists several Billers there and the one doesn't work for me is 3248.

        • yeah 3248 is energyAU. I'll port out to another supplier when there is a better deal.
