OldMarine and wizlaws- If you can add a prepaid debit card to PayPal (which in most cases doesn't work since the card can't pass our verification process), you would only be able to make purchases with those cards. Part of our user agreement and our agreement with the credit cards themselves is that you can't use PayPal for cash advances from cards. Which is essentially what you're doing if you could add funds from your card to your PayPal balance.
Hope that answers your concerns a bit.
