How to Pay From PayPal With a Debit Card

PayPal offers a few options for making payments, including at least two different debit card payment choices. These options are both free and work well for millions of people. PayPal is very efficient and monies arrive at the intended destination in a minutes. Many users set up one or more debit cards in a PayPal account, so the member has multiple choices of payment.

Instructions

1

Sign up for a PayPal account. Establishing a new account online is fast and easy because it generates menu-driven questions to the new user. This website employs the highest level of security ensuring that the user's confidential information is protected from theft.

2

Decide on payment and funding options. PayPal allows users to add to and pay from their accounts. One can use PayPal to pay for purchases even if her specific account balance is zero by using third-party funding (credit cards, debit cards and electronic checks). A user may select one or all available options for additional flexibility.

3

Select one or more debit card options. One choice is to attach one or more bank debit cards (not ATM cards) to the PayPal account. Then you can later choose to make payments from the card(s) attached to the account. Another option is to add a card at the time of payment. PayPal offers users wide flexibility of payment options--permitting any "foiled" (with a VISA or MasterCard logo) plastic card to be used to make payments.

4

Apply for a PayPal debit card as a second distinct option. This is particularly beneficial if you receive payments into or choose to transfer money to your PayPal account from other sources. The PayPal debit card can be used to make electronic payments, point-of-purchase retail transactions and to obtain cash from an ATM.
