This has sometimes to do with how PayPal view the card.

All card's first 6 digits are what is called a BIN number. BIN is beneficial to identify a card brand, issuing institution or bank, country of issuance, card type and category of cards.

This is how PayPal identifies the type of card used.

Paypal are aware some banks have incorrectly classified there debit cards as credit or prepaid cards under this BIN.

You can check the BIN number of your own card using the numerous BIN check website available.
