    Can I use a Comdata card to send money to Paypal?
    Community Answer
    Yes, but you have to register your card at comdata.com before you can use it on Paypal. When you go to register your card on there, it will ask you for a 5 digit code which is your employee ID. Its in the upper left corner of your pay stub. When you add the card to your Paypal account, be sure to list it as Regions Bank.

    Is the PayPal debit card also a credit card? Can I use the card if there are no funds in my account and then repay that amount later?
    Community Answer
    No, but you can link credit and debit cards and a bank account and mark which one you want to use as your preferred payment method. Then you can use your PayPal debit card to make purchases with nothing in your PayPal account. Your funding source will be charged by PayPal. If you choose not to link any other payment sources with your PayPal account, then you can only use funds available in your PayPal account.

    Can I transfer money to people via PayPal?
    Community Answer
    Yes. PayPal gives you several ways to send people money. You can send money to family and friends or send as a purchase for goods and services. When you send money as a purchase, there is a fee to do so. The person you transfer money to must have a PayPal account as well. You can send money from your PayPal balance or any other linked payment source, like a bank account or credit card.
