    Alex (DirectPixel, eiSecure, etc.) has one. I can't speak for him obviously but from his posts he seems to like it.

        I have one as well and it is indispensable. If you sell anything at eBay, you can be part of PayPal's preferred program and get cash back (I think it's .5%) on any debit card transactions (POS not ATM).

            Any ATM machine or any place that accepts MasterCards. It's a debit card, not an ATM card, meaning that it has a "real" CC logo on it and is accepted as either a MasterCard or a debit card. Some places (Sam's Club) only accept it as a debit card since they don't accept MC.

                    I find it's usefull. I also have a debit card from my bank that has the visa logo on it, so if I come across a place that doesn't use mastercard, I'm able to use visa if they accept that.

                      I don't have one but I'd love to get my hands on one. However, being from England, they don't offer it to us at the moment.

                        I have one, and I think they're great

                        Without the card, it takes you a minimum of 3-4 business days to get access to your cash, but with the card, as soon as it clears PayPal, it's available to withdraw via ATM

                            Hmm. Conventional wisdom after hearing of all the Paypal account locking with no grievance process would be to steer clear of this. Paypal for auctions is great, provided you never leave a penny in the account.

                            Hmm... I just got a bank account specifically to have online Visa.

                              If "conventional wisdom" is to steer clear of everything that anyone has ever complained about, none of us would be able to use anything.

                              Some people have had problems with PayPal. Many millions of others haven't, including myself and everyone I know. If the company were that truly horrible, no one would be using it. I have been using it for 2 years now, have moved probably close to $40,000 through it with absolutely no problems.
