Only if they allow you to add a billing address. Don't get Vanilla Visa - they only allow you to add a zip code. The billing address on your paypal and on your prepaid card has to match in order for transactions to go through. A deposit of $1 from your card is also needed upon registration. Don't forget to activate the card by calling the number on the card holder and registering via phone and internet. I used those Gift Card Mall (Visa) from Pathmark before and it worked. Good luck.

I just remembered that if you have Wal-Mart around your area (we don't), their Visa/Mastercard Prepaids cards are compatible for use with PP.
