    In my experience, usually you can. I've added several family member cards to my account in the past. Are you in the US? I think that some of their guidelines on adding cards and bank accounts are much more strict outside of the US. In any case it would be very difficult to tell if it was not your card. There is no such thing as name verification with a credit or debit card unless they can see the physical card. Technically, you can add the card under your name with the correct billing address and there is no system that they can verify the card belongs to you.

    @shariq222, I really want to know if adding a credit card under a different name will work with paypal. Do come back and tell us if it works and what country you did it from. Thanks in advance.

    To Answer this Question "My Answer is No"
    You should not add this
    Your name in the card should match exactly as in the paypal account! :)

    BTW: The OP the asked an explanation via PM regarding this so only i cleared this!

    In my oppinion, it is NO. Your name in paypal must be same with your name in your bank....
