Has anyone with a PayPal debit card either:

a) Used their Visa or Mastercard as their primary PayPal funding source when they've needed cash from an ATM?

or

b) Had their Visa or Mastercard as a back-up funding source when you've needed to tap an ATM for more than you knew was in your PayPal account and bank account primary funding source?

If so, did the amount that went on your credit card show up as a cash advance or a purchase?

Trying to find out if I can scam awards miles, still take advantage of my 25 day grace period, and get the 1% conversion fee over the credit card issuers 3% fee, by bouncing overseas PayPal ATM withdrawals onto my credit card. They would have to show up as purchases and not cash advances.
