PayPal does not suggest using a prepaid card within their system. To utilize a card, it must contain a card verification number (also known as a card security code). You also will need to confirm the card ownership. For assistance with this process, please review the details here. If these criteria are not met the card may not be used for security.

Hi @Transportmen, 

 

Thank you for contacting the PayPal Community Forum!

 

As kernowlass mentioned, we do not encourage the use of pre-paid cards on PayPal. Merchants can choose which funding sources they will accept as payment, and pre-paid cards are very rarely accepted. Please add a debit/credit card issued by your bank, and complete the required verification.
