So it would seem to not make any sense if their "real" policy is that you cannot use this PP debit card for anything else besides eBay or "online" purchases.

Does anyone have confirmation from a letter or online document that explicitly spells this out?

Worst case I'll just go back to buying money orders with regular OVs then.
The statement isn't that you're only supposed to use the debit card for online purchases. The statement is that you're only supposed to use the My Cash funds for online purchases. If you have funds for the debit card from a checking account, from payments from others, or anywhere else, then that's fine.

I'll have to dig through my emails to see if I have a written statement. I think I do, but there are a lot of emails to go through.
