just to be clear can paypal accept prepaid debit cards?  seems sorta shady because I went to buy a moneypack card which is like a scratch off and it said 5$ extra plus would only accept cash which is suspicious so i dont trust paypal moneypak around here only criminal stores or illegal ones done accept credit cards.  so can I use a prepaid visa card on paypal?

So, I linked my Visa Card to my account as a prepaid card, then varified the card on the website the card provided. Though, my wallet still syas $0.00. If I were to by something on, let's say ebay, would the card be charged or work in general?

Adrian, I have the PayPal Debit Mastercard, the standard one direct linked to my paypal account. Not prepaid. If I wanted to link or add a Prepaid Visa gift card, one that's registered with a mailing address and activated (accepted and linked successfully with my account) if I use it to check into and pay for a hotel room with plenty of balance to spare (more than needed for the stay plus some) if I use my direct Paypal Debit Mastercard will it automatically debit the gift card for the amount if I check in with my real Paypal Debit Mastercard? Since hotels won't allow prepaid gift cards I wanted to use this with my paypal account so I can use it via my direct account Paypal debit Mastercard.
