Unable to add a backup funding source

I have 2 Mastercard debit cards with PayPal. I added a backup funding source to the secondary card, but the system don't let me add a backup funding source for the primary card. Why is that? Is that right?

They actually want a CREDIT CARD on file.  I called when I removed one not knowing, and they manually added, thinking it was a glitch.  However, it was later determined that back up funding is restricted with Debit Cards.  Call and ask if they can manually add you on the back end.  Your limit will be $200, and they can't change that, unless you add a CC.  However, you can use the Balance manager (many folks do), to increase your spending power.

Hi, I just read your answer.  Thanks.  I have a mastercard debit card with $200 limit as you stated.  I have been tryiing to increase that limit.  I could not find where to do so.  I guess I can't.  That is why I couldn't find it.  I can stop looking now.  Thanks alot.  Smiley Happy
