Mastercard Vanilla + Paypal = Ugh?

[Aguiluz]

I got myself a MasterCard Vanilla and I popped it in Paypal. Tried to buy something from eBay and it got rejected.

Am I missing something? Did I get a 28 dollar useless-for-paypal card?


(I just borrowed my mother's card and paid money to her, as I usually do. >_<)

You need to confirm your address, I think. Also, you need to transfer the money into paypal, as drawing it off the card is harder.

And did you activate the card online?
