You prepaid VISA is a credit card. Just use it like you would any credit to make a purchase--not signed in to PayPal.
Make sure the card is registered to your name and mailing address.

I suggest you unlink the card from PayPal.
On the selling web site, make sure you are not checking out with PayPal.

Some merchants do not accept Prepaid cards. Another thing could be that the card is failing verification, which usually means that the card's billing address is either different than the one that PayPal has listed on your account, or it doesn't have one in general. All prepaid cards that are able to be used on PayPal MUST have a billing address that matches PayPal's information, or it will fail. I would suggest attempting to check out as a guest if that's possible or even put in your prepaid card information rather than attempting to check out using your PayPal account.
