You deposit the money into your checking account. A debit card is just a tool to spend the money that is in your checking account. Many people confuse debit card with credit cards. The difference is that a credit card is a type of loan, in which the bank is loaning you money to buy things with when you swipe the card and you have to pay it back over time. When you swipe your debit card, the purchase is paid for with money in your checking account immediately. Wells Fargo also sells Visa prepaid debit cards, which is a card you can buy with a preset amount, ie $300. When you spend all $300 on the card, you can't use it anymore and have to throw it away. They are not reloadable.

What is a prepaid debit card?
A prepaid debit card is separate from the traditional debit cards provided by banks and also very different from a credit card. You can get a prepaid debit card from several outlets (Netspend.com is a good one I've used) and all the money on the card is put onto it by the card holder before they are able to spend anything. They work very much like debit cards issued by banks, except there are no interest fees, and no overdraft charges. You can use a prepaid debit card for shopping online, renting a car, paying bills, and even renting a hotel. Additioanlly, you can transfer money from standard bank accounts to the card, get money directly deposited to the card, and you can use it through PayPal as well. Check out the link below for more uses of the card, and how to sign up for one.)

How can you buy passes on howrse with PayPal without having to link a debit card?
On paypal, you need to have money onto the account. It is taking it out of your account which is linked to a debit card. I don't think you can. However, you can earn diamonds in free offers. 10 diamonds = a pass. There are also things like Zeevex and Paysafecard where you can buy the card and use it without having to own a credit/debit card.
