PayPal used to allow you to connect to Prepaid Credit/Debit cards, then they stopped allowing this. They came up with their own PayPal Mastercard that you could then "in theory" connect to your PP account. So I suck it up and pay the extra fess, no top of the fees PP is already collecting and get one of these cards. The temporary PP Mastercard could be connected, I had no problem there, was able to make my purchase, add funds, etc. Then the permanent card arrived and I can not connect it to my PP account. It "requires" a text to go via your mobile, PP has my correct phone number but I never receive a text; so I can not confirm. The option "Try Another Way" is offered and it's a loop, taking you back to texting to your phone number. I spent forever in a phone help loop getting no where. I think re-logged into the online help, waited 1.5 hours, the guy jumps on, I miss him by 1 minute and I'm back to waiting again endlessly. Any guidance or assistance would be appreciated. I've been a PayPal customer for a very, very long time.
