One of the most convenient ways to send or receive money is PayPal. PayPal is a website that facilitates the transfer of money between you and someone else. Simply by signing up for an account, you can add a level of e-commerce to your personal finances or business. In addition to providing its customers with an online option, PayPal also offers a debit card for added convenience. The debit card is easy to use.
Steps
-
Visit https://www.paypal.com to apply for your PayPal Debit Mastercard. It's a simple process, and the website will lead you through the application and approval system. The application will require you to answer several questions, such as your contact information, email address, language preference and type of account you wish to sign up for. The application process is relatively short and takes just a few minutes.

Know the limits of your debit card. When you first receive your card, default limits are automatically set for your card's use. The daily default spending limit is $3,000 USD. The daily ATM limit is $400 USD. It is possible to get these limits raised or reduced by contacting PayPal directly.

As long as your back-up method of funding has money available, you don't need to have a balance in your account. For instance, if your PayPal account is empty and you wish to buy a tank of gas for $30, you can still use your debit card as long as the bank account that is linked to your PayPal account has at least $30 available for your use.
