adding funds

[jimmyv]

I have my debit card listed on on paypal account from a checking account but when I click to add funds to my paypal account  I just get the add a bank acount form page. Why is there no function for adding funds from my debit card?

             Thanks

I want to be able to add funds using my debit card.  It's an emergency!!  I'm willing to pay fees!

Debit cards and credit cards cannot be used to add funds to your PayPal account. 

You do not need to have funds in your PayPal account in order to send payments. Just select your debit card as the funding source when sending a payment... PayPal will automatically remove funds from whichever funding source you select.
