So today i purchased a mastercard prepaid card and wanted to add it to my paypal funds. So everything was ok so far and i was able to add it to my account. Until, it asked me to confirm the card and put in the 4 digit code. So i decieded to google tips on how to find it but all of the comments said it will show up next to or near the charged amount.  I have no clue where that is, and i have no bank account to check on anything. Is there any other way of checking the code? Or have i **bleep** myself over with this purchase? Please help me, and thank you in advance !:)

Hi,

 

On the prepaid card, there should a link to check your balance or activate the card (A sticker on the front, or somewhere in the back.) You have to make an account, and it will show you a list of transactions. After that, you should see PayPal charged you a small fee, and there should be something like PayPal*1234 CODE or PP*1234 CODE next to the charge, that's the 4 digit code.

 

Hope that helped.

 

It'll be easier if you leave the giftcard provider and the account activation link here.
