rjendreson,
PayPal doesn't recommend adding pre-paid cards, as they seldom pass our security procedures and can result in other issues, especially if a payment is refunded back to the card and you have since destroyed the card after depletion. Additionally, as the charges on pre-paid cards don't always pays the security check that is required for every single transaction, it may not even work to charge the card. Instead, we recommend registering a traditional debit or credit card.
However, adding a credit or debit card, or linking and confirming a credit or debit card, will not verify a US account. In order to verify a US account, the options listed above would have to be exercised.
Hope this helps,
Adrian
