My PrePay Mastercard is not registering on my Paypal account, keeps coming up with an error message?

Question

Has anyone managed to register a prepay card with paypal, if so how as I am unable to do it. wont work for me

Answer 1

I would guess that a pre-pay card is a sign of bad credit so paypal would not honor it.

Answer 2

The answer to your question is basically the same as we had a week or so ago about a Gift Card cc and PayPal.  You just said it's a prepay CC ergo only you know how much is actually in that account and available to use to fund your items on PayPal.  PayPal has no way to know that but because of the card number series knows it is a prepaid card.  You'll make out better by tying the PalPay account to your savings bank account and/or your checking account.

Hope this helps you somewhat.

Answer 3

Hi I am thinking of getting a card similar to yours, there are some cards you can use to shop onlline and use everyday as long as there is enough funds on it, try this website to find a one that suits your needs, www.maestrocard.com/uk/prepaid/findacard

hope that helps, and so what if you/we have bad credit at least we are making an effort by not digging deeper, good luck

Answer 4

Pre Paid Credit Cards don't work online. You won't be able to use it on Pay Pal. I'm guessing the reason they do that is because they don't have a name on it, and its not an actual credit card. Its probably for some sort of security reasons. I'm 100% positive of this cuz I had one & I called & they said they don't work on most websites on the internet..and pay pal is really tough anyways. I hope that helped & if u have any other questions about it, feel free to email me.
