How to Make Money With the Paypal Debit Card

The PayPal debit card is more than just a regular banking debit card. It actually earns cash back for many purchases. Follow these steps to maximize the return on your cards.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Computer with Internet Access
• Active Bank Account
• PayPal Account
• PayPal Debit Card

1. Sign up with PayPal for a personal, business or premier account. Send for a debit card that will be tied to your account. Confirm one or more of your existing bank accounts with PayPal in order to be eligible for the card.

2. Link at least one bank account to the PayPal debit card as a backup funding source.

3. Get funds into your PayPal account, by selling on eBay or other websites that accept PayPal. Use the backup funding source to add more money to the account.

4. Purchase items using the debit card, but choose to use it as a credit card transaction each time. Sign for any purchases, instead of using a PIN. Pay for online purchases using the PayPal debit card as a credit card.

5. Get 1 percent cash back onto your debit card for every PIN-less purchase. Transfer more money into your PayPal account and pay bills online through the account.

Tips & Warnings

• There is no limit to the amount of money you can get back, so use the debit card often to make more money.
• Pay any eBay fees using the debit card as a credit card, instead of allowing eBay to take the funds directly from your PayPal account. If they use it as a direct funding source, you don't earn any cash.
