I just opened a new PayPal account ad I have fallen on hard times, a friend loaned me $85 to get by. I have set up my account the funds are there. I have added my prepaid Visa card which looks to be fine with the PayPal system. No need for verification according to the site. My question is how do I put this $85 onto my prepaid Visa debit? I'm a single mom and really need to get groceries ASAP. Thank you. Please make any instructions simple for a non tech savvy mom. Nicole xoxo

I logged back in to reply as I was really frustrated when trying to access emergency funds. I spent hours trying to get this set up properly, confirming my card, a prepaid visa debit through Green Dot Bank. A registered good account complete with a routing # etc. It was confirmed/approved with $0.10 and $0.17 and $1.95 sent back and forth. (although I have yet to get the $1.95 back) A phone rep took me through a ridiculous amount of steps only to tell me my valid approved confirmed account was not a usable option. I don't have a traditional bank account. I was lead to believe this was ok. This EXACT CARD/ACCOUNT was approved for a GoFundMe for my daughter earlier this year. I understand there are security issues to consider, but pre-paid reloadable cards are a viable form of payment ALL OVER! Don't bother asking someone to loan you money if this is your only way to access it. I returned the funds to my friend. If I WOULD have gotten funds when I needed them I could have traveled during the day instead of the emergency evening trip that resulted in a totalled vehicle and a dead deer. Thanks PayPal. Swell service.
