I have never used Paypal before, but as i just spent cash on a $200 prepaid Mastercard, only to find out PSN doesn't like to accept prepaids, I am wondering if I can use paypal with one of these damn prepaid credit cards..

EDIT: tried paypal, didn't work.. guess I'll have to drive into town tmr morning and buy some PSN cards with these pre-paids

I don't know if PayPal accepts gift cards, but I do know a way you can use a gift card on PSN, since I had the same problem not too long ago. You can just buy a PSN card from Amazon and use the code to add it to your PSN account.

from Amazon..? I don't have to sit around and wait for it to arrive in the mail, do i?

No, they send you a code.

well, better than nothing..

thanks Narmy

you sure they give me a code? Im looking at it on amazon.ca and it says "free shipping" and "gift-wrap avaliable"..
that doesn't sound like a code (unless i'm a dunce and looking at the completely wrong spot)

apparently the digital codes are only available to those with a US mailing address..

fml...

I use prepaid credit cards on PSN all the time. Did you make sure you registered it online? PSN, and most other purchases online will require you to register the card (which the information for that would be with the little instruction thing that comes with the card). You gotta go to the card's website and put in your name, an address and a phone number, then you will be able to do online purchases, such as PSN when you use that same information (it doesnt even have to be right, it just has to match with what you put in when you register the card).

You can also use the online site to look at your active balance on the prepaid card.

And i have used both prepaid visas and mastercards on PSN and other online purchases.

I am not new to purchasing things online, i have done it manytimes, but apparently PSN no longer accepts pre-paids

Hmm they must have changed it sometime in the last 2-3 months. I literally used one on the PSN like at the beginning of winter here. Well that's good to know for the future, i guess.

I've never used paypal myself so im not sure on that scenario either.

yeah, I tried paypal, didn't work..

gonna have to wake up tmr morning, drive for roughly an hour to the nearest EBGames, and buy a few PSN cards with these dang pre-paids..

such a hassle..
