If you've already activated your card and need to check to confirm that is the case then here are the steps in doing so:
1. Log into your PayPal account
2. Look for your PPSC card and click on the link in the upper right corner of that box that says "View Card Details"
3. When that screen pops up you'll see a box on the right that says Manage my credit account. Underneath that you'll click on the link "Update account preferences"
4. When you get to that screen just simply click on the first option "Change" under the heading CHECKOUT Preferences.
From there you will be able to see what you're current backup method is as well as given the option to choose a new source if you wish which would include any of the Credit cards, bank account, and smart connect you have on file.
Hope this helps ya out

The debit card shows 0 on it because that's what's on it but I thought it would just go straight from the paypal
Did it decline the transaction? Normally you're debit card either works as a "debit" card using your bank account as a funding source, or as a "credit" card using you're smart connect account as the funding source. In order to use it as a credit and ultimately with your smart connect account you must make sure to specify to the clerk that it has to be run as a CREDIT and not a debit transaction. That should fix the problem, although I don't have any experience with that because before I attained my smart connect account my debit card would first use any PP balance i had and then revert to my bank account or debit card on file. After adding my smart connect account it has always automatically taken it from it even when I accidently ran it as a debit once although there was a few dollars on my PP balance that was taken first so that may explain why it accepted it to be run as the debit. I just always clarify that it has to be run credit when I use it, because even if you're using your PP balance anytime you use it as a credit you automatically get 1% CB so thats just free $
If that doesn't work for you then I would contact CS and find out what the problem is because it def shouldn't be working that way!
