Question

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.

Question

Can I have a prepaid debit card used with PayPal?

Community Answer

PayPal has its own credit card, called PayPal Credit. The account you hook up to PayPal has to be the one you normally use. It can be a debit or credit card. If it's a debit card, it should be hooked up to your checking account, not prepaid.

Question

Are there any fees associated with the PayPal debit card?

Community Answer

As of 2019, there are no overdraft charges and no monthly fees. If you don’t have the money in the account, then it will simply just decline the card as lack of funds.

Question

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.

Question

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. To use a credit card, there is a fee associated that is based on the amount being sent.

Question

Will my PayPal credit back up my PayPal balance?

Community Answer

Yes because it is a funding source and as long as you have not reached your credit limit, you can use whatever credit is left, just as you would with any other funding source that was in the positive.
