Is this PayPal credit/debit card open to Australia at all do you know?
You'd have to check with them. I doubt it, but PayPal
did establish an Australian branch last year, so you never know.
If you are interested in having the ability to use a credit card, but don't want to actually have a credit card, then you can get a Visa debit card from several different banks in Australia (used to be only one offering it, but there are now several). As far as a retailer is concerned it's the same thing as a credit card (and can be used for international internet orders for example), but it is linked to your bank account, so you can only use money you have in your bank account.
Much the same as the PayPal debit card, except it's connected to your regular bank account instead of PayPal. Perhaps not as convenient for you if you are receiving PayPal payments and wanted the money to come specifically from there, but potentially useful if you just want the ability to use a credit card without the liability of having a line of credit.
