Hey guys,

 

So I got my paycheck and I want some of that money online. I've bought a pre-paid card before and tried to link it to my paypal account but it was declined so I had to use it on godaddy and things like that. Is there any card I can buy so I can get some more money on my paypal? I don't want to connect my bank or my credit card, only prepaid or debit cards I can buy. Any suggestions?

 

Best Regards,

Energizer

 

P.S: I've tried lookng for greendot cards and couldn't find any in Canada/Toronto.

Prepaid cards are a challenge, you can try a Visa brand however, you have to be able to register both your name and address with the card issuer.  Make sure that the name and address you use for the card is the same name and address you used for your PayPal Account, else, it  won't be accepted.

 

Keep in mind per PayPal's own Help FAQs, they state the following: You can't link a gift card, prepaid card, or one-time-use card to your PayPal account.

 

From our experience the exceptions are, PayPal Products or Green Dot Money Packs or a Prepaid Card that allows you to register both your name and billing address.
