I get this message when I try to gift someone. I already added the credit card to the account: 

 

Sorry, your payment won't go through. To make it work, you'll need to add money to your account and pay with your PayPal balance.

 

How come I get this message?

Yes, I recently spent roughly 24$ on a game, since I was unverified on Paypal, the guy decided to refund the money. 

Unfortunately, I'm using a prepaid 25$ Credit Card.

Do you know when I'll be able to get my money back? Or if I will ever get it back?

 

Will it go to the card on directly onto my Paypal Balance?

Prepaid visas are refundable but not releasable. If its a refund it would go back on your card like a regular transaction

Hi, i recently have gotten a prepaid visa card worth $35, and have added it to my account. 

 

My question is i want to purchase something for $40, and i have funds in my paypal balance but not $40s worth.

 

so if i make this purchase will it card the cards $35 then charge the rest from my balance. or will t he purchase be declined?

Ok so, I have like $2.00 on each of my prepaid cards. I was wondering if there was anyway to just add them together, I figured using PayPal.
