Prepaid Paypal Debit Mastercard, Transfer money from paypal to card????? Won't let me?

Hi, I went out and bought the prepaid paypal debit MasterCard today thinking I would be able to get home and activate it to transfer money from my paypal account to the card in real time like the site states. Also the back of the card package says "Transfer money from your Paypal account by visiting paypal.com/prepaid." I did that and the card is activated and the card is on my paypal account under credit cards. But when I go to transfer money only my bank account shows up not the card. Why can I not use it??  Also I can not be approved for the MasterCard paypal card, was denied by the way. That is why I am going with the prepaid debit paypal card. Also the card is confirmed under the my cards page.

 

Any help would be helpful. Also, I read somewhere about adding the Bancorp routing number and your account number to get direct deposit but when I try to find my account information on the page it does not show the area in gray with the acct number like the help page said. Do I have to do that to be able to transfer money from paypal to card?

 

Really confused. 

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

U need to contact paypal and tell them you know about the glitch they have going on with the pre paid master card and how they are going to fix it and get you your money. Took me over a month to finaly talk to a supervisor and get the truth about the problem. Noone wanted to take the time to help me get my money and try finding out what the issue was

To instant transfer from PayPal to the PayPal prepaid mastercard, you have to sign into (search Google for site) the paypal prepaid mastercard site ..not the regular paypal site. You sign in with the same information as you do paypal. The menu will be on the left of your screen pull it down and hit transfer from paypal...Do not used any other transfer,Ike the bank one. Just use the paypal one.

I did finally get the money transfered at the debit card site and $4.95 was deducted as a fee.   Will never do that again.
