For about two years, I had paypal and used prepaid one time use cards. About a month ago, paypal blocked me from adding another prepaid one time use card number and suggested that I use a bank account or their gift card. I don't want to do either nor do I want to use a credit card. Does anyone have any suggestions?

The only pre-paid card PayPal allow is the green dot.

No other pre-paid/loaded or gift cards are allowed.

Read their "terms of service" for more info.

They will only let you do this a certain number of times before you have to verify your info by providing a CC or bank account. Looks like they caught up to you. Why not open a bank account just for paypal

The safest way to pay online even through PayPal is with a regular credit card.

 

Credit cards provide additional consumer protections above and beyond PayPal's Buyer Protection Policy.


Never rely on eBay nor emails for accurate payment information. Login to PayPal!
