Yes, PayPal actually mails you a physical debit card. It feels like a relic from a museum, but it works. It’s connected directly to your PayPal balance or bank account.
You just swipe or tap it like any normal credit card. The upsides? You get cashback on some purchases, and you don’t need your phone to be charged. The downside? You have to carry a card, which is basically a piece of plastic that can get lost in your couch cushions.
I once lost my PayPal card for three weeks. It turned up inside a book I wasn’t even reading. Mysterious, but effective.
