    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    On One Hand: Yes, You Can

    You can use your debit card to set up a PayPal account, especially if you want the funds transferred to your bank account. When you do a transfer, PayPal will use your debit card information to deposit your balance into your bank account. You can also use a credit card or apply for PayPal's debit card, which allows you to skip the transfer process.

    On the Other: It Is Not Necessary

    You don't need any card to set up your PayPal account. You can use your routing number and account number from your bank account instead of using your debit card. You can also limit your shopping to sites that accept PayPal payments, so you don't ever have to transfer money out of PayPal.

    Bottom Line

    You can use any credit or debit card, or the information from your bank account, to set up a PayPal account. Using your debit card information is not necessary to sign up, but it is an option. You will need a card of some kind to verify your account after you sign up, and debit cards are fine. PayPal will transfer funds to any designated account, or you can sign up for PayPal's debit card.
