Yes you can use a pre-paid card in Paypal. Here are 2 things you can do. First, Go online and register your card with the card carrier (American Express, Visa, etc) so that there is a name and address tied to the account.

I have been able to use Both prepaid Visa's and Amex's online and in Paypal after taking those steps.
