It depends on the type of card and bank that you're using. Some people have been lucky and could use Visa Electron with their
PayPal Account accounts, but others had their Visa Electrons rejected. Besides, PayPal has been making their policies on which cards they accept more strict in the recent years. It also depends on the country in which the card was issued.
Sometimes you can have this
question answered without even trying to link your card to PayPal simply by asking your bank. Some cards, despite having a Visa Electron stamp have limited usability and were simply not designed for use on the internet.
