At first glance, it appears this can be used only at PayPal-approved sites. Not true. It also works at any site accepting credit cards with a few requirements:

Must have a Domestic PayPal account
Are Verified (have added and confirmed a bank account)
Have added a credit card whose monthly statement is sent to a physical street address (not a P.O. Box)
Have a positive balance in the PayPal account
Have a PayPal account in good standing


To access the VDC, log into PayPal, scroll to the bottom of the page and select the Shops link. At the right, there will be a link called “Shop Anywhere” that does not appear unless you are logged in.

Disable any popup blockers or add PayPal to the Allow list. Enter in the site you want to purchase from in the url box and click Go. A new browser window will appear at the bottom with a virtual Mastercard number and expiration date. Copy and paste the numbers into the shopping cart.

The only hitch is there is no three-digit security number that is sometimes needed when purchasing online. I have used this feature for several years, it’s safer than giving a stranger a regular credit card as it will only allow purchases up to $150 and if abused will only debit a PayPal balance, not an entire bank account or credit card spending limit.

Thats all I could find about it. If you try it, let us know if it works.

POL does require the three digit number. However, if there is no three digit number on the card, who knows... no three digit number in POL may work (I doubt it though).
