Adding cash to my paypal account

[Johnny5489]

 When i travel to the USA or Canada, is there a way i can add cash into my paypal account with prepaid debit cards or something? I read there used to be paypal cash cards but they seem to be discontinued.

Best to contact PayPal before you travel and inform them you will be traveling abroad and allow you use of your PayPal account so you can log on and add funds from your bank account to your PayPal balance. While you're on the phone with them ask if you can use the PayPal Cash feature on the PayPal app to add cash to your AU account through a retailer with a barcode through the PayPal app.

I mean from cash.... not from my bank account. I might do some work for cash or get some from family and just want to know if cash can be put into paypal directly somehow so I don't have to carry it on me
