    Default Prepaid Credit Card?

    Hey, I was wondering if I was able to use a prepaid credit card instead of waiting for money to clear in Paypal.
    It would be way faster to buy one than it would be to wait for dumb old Paypal. =P

    I don't see why you couldn't. I use my regular CC for all my purchases here.

    Cool, thank you for the information.
    I just hope nothing goes wrong when I want to checkout.
    Say, I dunno, like my card being invalid and it not letting my use it in the store, and the money having to stay on the card instead of in my wallet where I like it.
    But that's just a worst case scenario right?

    send Tim an email and he should get back to you pretty quickly.

    I have used one before (VISA) and don't see why yours wouldn't...

    I have made all my purchases (to date) with a pre-paid Card. That was only because I didn't have a bank account. Now I have a bank check card.

    I'd be careful, there's a lot of scams going around with pre paid cards. You can buy batches of "pre paid" cards from shady people. In reality they're stolen #s programmed onto the physical pre paid card. Easiest way to tell is if someone tries to use one, it's declined and they make up some story about it being used up and have to try a few other cards.
    I know this for a fact, I had a friend try to bring me into the scam and I've seen him do it.

    if you have a bank account you can always link it to your Paypal and when you make a purchase with Paypal even with $0 in your Paypal, it will pull it out of your bank account, however the account needs to be verafied. they make a small deposit (usually less than $1) and you tell them how much was deposited to verafy your account
