Paypal Debit Card?

Can someone explain how the Paypal debit card works?  If you get one can you use your Paypal credit line anywhere that debit cards are accepted?  kinda confusing...

Re: Paypal Debit Card?

yes I do.  I only use it online as I thought that was the only place I could use Paypal.  But, I saw it has a debit card available and was wondering if it could then be used like a debit/credit card?

yes, if you have the debit card and paypal smart connect on the same account, when you use your card it comes out of of the smart connect credit line

Re: Paypal Debit Card?

I have Paypal Debit Card, and I do not have SmartConnect. My card is tied to my checking account. Yes, you can use it anywhere. If you have funds in your Paypal account it will draw on that first, then whatever you have your Paypal account connected to, credit card, checking acct, smart connect.

 

I mostly use it for online purchases where I don't want to use my bank debit or credit card. I don't sell much on ebay anymore, but it's a faster way to access your cash from ebay sales rather than transferring it to your bank account which takes awhile.

Re: Paypal Debit Card?

The paypal master card uses the money you have in your paypal acc, but you can also link it to your checking account. And if you have the smart connect. You can also link it to it. The paypall dc earns me 1.5% cash back. I use for all my shopping, groceries gas as i dont have any other rewards card.

Re: Paypal Debit Card?

Thanks...I'm going to order one.  My Paypal account has a $10,000 limit, and I haven't used it much, so this will help to fix that.
