Can you use paypal with a DEBIT card?

[kplax35]

hey,
I created my paypal account today and was wondering if I could use my debit card instead of my credit card. I looked and it didnt have anywhere to click debit.
Please help and if I really am stupid for asking then say it, but dont forget to answer my question!

wouldnt matter. your still using your bank account.

So when I send money to someones email address...It would be taken out of my account that day and not send me a bill?

You don't want to use your debit over your credit card... at least with the credit card you can dispute it with paypal and the cc company if anything goes wrong. If you do a direct xfer from your checking acct, it'll be much harder to fight.

But yes you can, if your debit card has a visa logo on it... you can use it. But there is no point since Paypal has a direct bank acct xfer that bypasses the need for the debit card.

only if its credit card endorsed.

I think so, but I think it has to have a Visa or Mastercard logo. Otherwise, you could just associate your bank account with your paypal.

So when the seller would recieve the money, he would click transfer and it would take it outta my account even though it was a credit card?
thx for your help!

when you pay with paypal it goes in when the money is accepted.

I have a credit car and a debit car registered on my paypal acount, when I want the bill sent to me I use my credit card, and sometimes when I win ebay items and want to use my debit, I use it through paypal as well, and it takes it out my acount, debit is aaccetable as well as credit cards in paypal, registerind a debit car is the same way you would a credit card

So its just like ordering off a website...only not plugging all your card info in since you already did that when you signed up?
