I have been using my dads PayPal account for myLot since I joined. I recently got a debit card and was wondering if I can use a debit cord as a replacement for a credit card.
Thanks for any help you can provide

I am using debit card for my paypal, but it is made specially for online transactions. You should check your local banks if the are offering a debit card that can be linked to Paypal.

I asked the lady at the bank if I was able to do anything online and she said yes. The only drawback is that I can only pay $50 dollars at any shop because it is for people under 18.

I have heard once that we cant add debit cards to paypal. Cause it asks for the 4 digit security pin. Giving out the pin of your debit card is more of a risk than giving your credit card pin cause all the money in your account is at risk and you cant put the billing to a check until your account balance reaches zero!
anyways, please give it a try and post the result here please...

I looked on Paypal last night and it said it will work if it has a credit card logo like Visa. I'm gonna set it up tonight. I will surely let you know the results
