Ok then what happens if I were to create invoices for a friend and he/she were to pay with prepaid cards? I know I can't make the direct transfer but is there any way around it?   Having a card with $25 is pretty much useless because I can only buy something for $25 or less :\. ... View more

Adding Prepaid Credit Cards To PayPal Balance

Hello,   I'm wondering if it is at all possible to add the balance of a prepaid credit card to my PayPal account balance. I wanted to ask here before doing it myself to avoid upsetting the almighty PP. I have heard of people adding the prepaid cards to the account under the PayPal dashboard but I have a few of them and the cards will be declined if I make a purchase that is larger than the prepaid balance. So just to clarify: I don't want to add the card to the account, I want to drain the card and send the balance to my PayPal balance.   What I was thinking: Can I just create an invoice for myself and pay for it with the prepaid card? What kind of fees are involved for the card? Ie. if I have a $25 Canadian Dollar prepaid visa, can i invoice myself for $25 CDN? I think a lot of processors charge a small amount to verify that the card works.   Is this at all possible or do I need another service? If I do then please point me in the right direction :). I would like to keep everything with PayPal as long as this is deemed fair use.   Thanks, Jamie ... View more
