re: Paypal and Ebay

[certainthings]

Dear Everyone Who Replied To My Last Post,

Thank you for your input. One day in the future when I have some money, I think that I shall set up a Paypal account with my debit card. And spend money.

I was worried that I wouldn't be able to use my debit card (I have a credit card but I want Paypal for my debit) but according to the site, it seems that I can.

And lo, that is good.

Thank you. You're wonderful.

Sincerely,
Me.

But I'm Canadian and it's linked to my debit card? (I bank with CIBC if it makes a difference...)
I do have it linked to a Visa as well, perhaps that's why I was able to link both?

It's probably the Visa. I've tried multiple times to link my debit card to my PayPal account, and it keeps asking me for numbers and information that do not exist on my debit card. I finally had to link a prepaid Mastercard to my account to be able to use it as a "verified" account.

In the U.S. they have debit cards that have credit card logos on them, and Americans can pay online with debit cards. Almost no one accepts Canadian debit cards online. My cell phone company does, but I don't know of any others, though I am sure there must be a few.
