How To Buy Cryptocurrencies With PayPal Debit Card (Coinbase)

Hello!!! I am new to this website and wanted to buy some steem from my PayPal account, but I could not find any guides or help setting it up.. So here is how I figured it out!

Lets get started!!

REQUIREMENTS:

CoinBase: https://www.coinbase.com/join/598721c6badd30023e3bef10
PayPal Debit MasterCard: <-- important not any paypal account can purchase, you need the card. https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwjHpZy7nOHVAhXPiLMKHctnC4IYABAAGgJxbg&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESEeD2Ahu-c2XF8wr0XD6SWxOA&sig=AOD64_0KPucBoJf1nJsY1-J2G_1PvVu-Kg&q=&ved=0ahUKEwjv3ZK7nOHVAhXB5CYKHQ8kCfEQ0QwIJg&adurl= (i think its 5$ once a year for this card?)

First I signed up to Coinbase.com
https://www.coinbase.com/join/598721c6badd30023e3bef10
this is my reference sign-up code to Coinbase, I recommend using it because when you spend 100$ or more YOU get 10$ in bitcoin.

After you sign up, make sure you go to your profile settings and fill everything out correctly. (even after you registered, some of this information is blank so you need to double check and make sure everything is filled out.)

Then go to Settings > Payment Methods > Add a Payment Method.

This is where you put in your PayPal Master DebitCard information. After you filled it out, check your paypal account and verify the two 1-2$ charges they have made from you, so you are actually able to make a purchase once confirmed. ( this will be refunded ).

DON'T TRY TO BUY JUST YET!!

Upload your ID (choose either one; Photo ID or Drivers License)
https://www.coinbase.com/verifications

You want to upload your ID so you are more verified/quickly verified and can make bigger purchases. At first you are limited to buying 50$ of crpyto. Once you have bought 150$ of crpyto with that method you are able to buy more than just 50 at a time. (this is to protect them from new users and potential charge-backs).

After all the information is uploaded you are ready to go!!

Then you must buy either Bitcoin, Etherium, or Litecoin with your new payment!! (PayPal Card)

CONGRATS!! you have now bought crpyto with your paypal.
I hope this helps you and other people out there, and lets you all know this is actually an Option !! I was lead to believe it wasn't a thing.

Once you have your crpyto you can go to steemit and exchange through the BUY STEEM option in the top right. I would explain further but other users have created much better guides than i can!! :D thanks and UPVOTE hope to share more helpful things in the future, very happy to get my first post out!! WOOOOOOHOOO good luck steemians.
If any of you have any questions please ask!!! I will gladly help and i'm sure others would too!
