PrePaid card + Paypal

Squirt · **Joined:** Jan 2008 **Posts:** 8186 **Location:**

Hey mates, I recently ordered an Ipod over the apple store and I payed with a money order ( I know old fashioned).
I want to buy a protective cover and a new skin design for it from decalgirl.com.
Their only payment method is paypal though, I was wondering if I can somehow use a prepaid card?
If I can use it with paypal what type of account do I have to register? And if My total price amounts to 35$ should I put an extra 5$ in case paypal taxes me?

Why don't you just get a prepaid Visa?

Or just get a real paypal linked to your debit account?

You can buy a prepaidcard and it is just like a credit card. Register it to paypal as if it's a real credit card and it should work.

I used a Pre paid from 16-18 for paypal and it works great. Especially since you can't over charge it.

hmm I was never able to use a prepaid card on paypal. Heck im 15 and I have a bank account o.o
Just go to your bank with your mom and know your social security number card with you. And then just ask to make you a bank account. Thats what I did anyways(USA)

you don't even need you SIN card if you do a chequing account as it is a non interest making account. Savings on the other hand need to be reported the your respective revenue agency in your country. but i believe under 18 you need a parents signature.

That's a lot diff than My bank. I am 18 though. But before i was I tried to make an account and all they required was my mom co sign. But my mom has crap credit so they rejected. But when I did make it, I did in fact need my SSN.

they probably say that, might be different in the states. But here in Canada you don't need a SIN for chequing account. They will always ask though. Also an account rejected cause of bad credit? :S I don't see how your account which holds your money has anything to do with credit.
