Paypal Debit Card

[ladysj]

Okay I am totally ignorant on this. I have my debit card from paypal I don't know how to use it for my online purchases. It won't let me add it as a credit card. How do I add money to it or how does this DAMN thing work?

Mine looks just like a Credit Card and it works just like any other Debit card you have to have the money to cover you purchase in your paypal account.

You can transfer the money from your regular checking account to your paypal account so you can buy things with your paypal debit card.

I have mine set up so that it will automatically witdrawl the money from my business account checking when enough is not available in my paypal account.

In setting up your paypal, you would have had to give information for such transfers, Look under preferences to make sure it is the right information and then you should be able to add money into it. A lot of people only use a paypal debit crd for their online purchases so that they are protected.

Its actually nice to have one I think because most of my money is in PP and now i can access when purchasing candle stuff w/o waiting on transfers. Mine looks like a credit card too and never had to use it as debit unless in a store store. It just accepts it as a MC or whatnot. Plus I like getting the cash back bonus on it especially when using it for shipping items, and large candle supply orders....2 or 3.00 here and there can add up!

Yup, I use mine as a CC, too. So basically any money that goes into your account is usable, just like any other credit/debit card. But if you don't have the funds to pay for a purchase, it will pull from the bank account you associated with it.
