How can I add the balance of a prepaid credit card to my PayPal balance?

I am attempting to purchase via PayPal, however my credit card was declined. If I am unable to resolve it with the credit card company I would like to know if it is possible to add a prepaid Mastercard balance to my PayPal balance, which allows you to pay without a credit card. The amount I need to buy is greater than the larger Mastercard's that I know of so I would need to add multiple to my balance.

Hello @tgrim

Thanks for the post! 

Unfortunately, it is not possible to add money from a prepaid card to your balance. However, you can transfer money to your balance from a linked bank account. I will include a couple of Help Center links to aid you with the process. 

How do I link a bank account to my PayPal account?
