  Old  "Virtual" MasterCard Debit Card


"Virtual" MasterCard Debit Card Number. If you are a Verified U.S. account holder with a confirmed bank account, a registered Credit Card and money in your account, you have the option to redeem your funds by making an online purchase at any major internet retailer (e.g. Amazon.com). The Shop Anywhere / PayPal Debit Bar feature allows you to spend your PayPal balance at online stores. You will be issued a 16-digit "virtual" MasterCard debit card number and an expiration date, which together can be used to access the balance of your PayPal account at online merchants that accept MasterCard. For your security, the spending limit on the virtual debit card is $150.00 USD per day.

The 16-digit Virtual Debit Card is different from a plastic (i.e., "real") PayPal MasterCard ATM/Debit Card (See Section 1 above). The PayPal ATM / Debit Card will bear a different 16-digit account number and expiration date and will allow you to use your PayPal balance and your Backup Funding Source for payment in offline transactions, as well as ATM withdrawals..
It says verified US, however, this may be out of date etc. Has anyone got one? Does it work with any site that needs a credit card?

What would be the point of making one? Can't you just use your bank card? I don't get it?

From what I understand, the point of it would be so you can withdraw funds directly from your paypal account.

I rang up PayPal Australia, they do not offer it to Australians.

You can't use your bankcard as a credit card for online purchases. Using a Debit Credit Card ensures that you wont get in to any debt.

I've used it on a few sites that didn't take paypal and I wanted to use my paypal ballance. It's just a pop-up window with a mastercard number and expiration date. You can use it anywhere. Quite nice actually.

Well, in the US anyways, thats not atually true. I use my debit as a credit card all the time.
