Prepaid cards are primarily good for making one-time purchases with. Not so much for accepting withdrawals. You can get a PayPal Business debit card to spend & withdrawal cash via atm from PayPal balance if you don’t have a bank account or eligible debit card for accepting withdrawals.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

Do you need a bank account for PayPal? No, you don't need a bank account to sign up for PayPal or to receive money into your PayPal account. To open a personal account, you only need to provide your name, address, phone number, and email address
