    The Visa Reloadable Prepaid Card is a Visa card you load with your own money to make purchases everywhere Visa debit cards are accepted. You can get that Visa card with no credit check or prior bank account. It has no credit facility though.

    Go into your paypal account, under "my account" click on withdraw - you'll see the options below. I use a paypal debit card, it can be used anywhere a mastercard can be, including ATMs. I think your best bet is getting your account verified, then you can transer your money straight into your bank account and your limit will be lifted.



    PayPal offers the following options for withdrawing funds from your PayPal account.

    In addition, you can transfer your funds to the PayPal Money Market Fund (application required) to earn a return on your PayPal balance.

    There are 4 kinds of Plastic Cards which Visa and Mastercard issues.

    1) Credit Card - The bank offers an unsecured overdraft to you and you need to pay at the end of the billing cycle or else any outstanding balance would be subjected to interest charge. The overdraft amount would be agreed upon when you sign up for the card depending on the bank's policy. These allows you to make purchase in stores and online which accept credit cards.

    2) Debit Card - This card is linked to a bank account and usually the maximum spending limit is up to the balance of that bank account or lower. You typically cannot overspend what you do not have. Same spending feature as a credit card.

    3) ATM Card - This card basically just allow you to make withdrawal from an ATM Machine instead of having to queue up at the bank. (This is issued by the bank and cannot be used as a Credit or Debit Card)

    4) Reloadable Debit Card/Prepaid Debit Card - This card works almost like a Debit Card. However, it is not linked to a bank account and does not have offer any loan extension. You buy the card and it comes preloaded with a certain dollar value and you cannot spend beyond that limit. When the balance drops or is insufficient to cover your balance, you can top-up the card with cash. There are Reloadable Debit Cards which are issued from a bank or a financial institution and the card is personalized with your name and there are others which you pick up from the grocery shop or gas station which does not come personalized with your name or address.

    I must say that eddy defined the best way.
    Get verified your account so that you can use your paypal with full version.
