Hello all,
I was wondering whether:
1. I could add funds to my paypal balance using a green dot prepaid card without a bank account linked.
2. I could use those funds though paypal on G2A.com(please answer specifically for g2a.com because i dont wanna waste 50 bucks man)
3. Do i just add the prepaid card as a credit card?
Thanks for the help

Not all prepaid cards will work with PayPal due to verification issues as some cards are not required to be registered therefore PayPal can not verify the card.
You don't have to add money to PayPal account from the card, just select card as the payment method during checkout and PayPal shall deduct payment directly from the card if it is linked and verified. You should be able to use Greendot debit cards with PayPal as you can register for a personalized card with them.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

Answer to 3 is yes, but you need to register to get the personalized card so that it can be verified by PayPal as a payment method.
