Why don't you contact Lazerer and ask them, I don't think anyone here is going to know why you can't.
You could just set up a PayPal account and link your credit card to it - PayPal will then use your credit card for the funds.
My understanding is that paypal only draws funds from a credit card if your bank is overdrawn. Can't set a credit card as the primary funding source. I haven't been able to even add a credit card until a bank account is added first.
Correct me if I missed something or this isn't universal.
On PayPal UK I have a credit card only account...
I setup an account, stated it as personal when it asked, it gives you the option to add a card after the sign up process, I added my debit card (literally the numbers off the card) , and it worked fine..
Unfortunately I don't know about credit cards.
You can however go into your account and change the funding source.
I have found a lot (if not all) credit card processors can't tell it a debit card. Even pre-paid gift cards can pass.
Most debit card also do credit card type transactions (without a pin).
My family & friend (usa btw) don't seem to have that option. I've tried to find it myself.
Then perhaps the cards can't be set a first funding source since their debit cards.Retailers can tell easily if it is a debit or credit card, but it's an additional feature and cost to them, so often they don't bother with it.

Would you know if they can tell a pre-paid gift card apart from a normal debit for certain?
I've know about the empty bank acc. workaround but I'm worried it would be a negative flag. I would think with the amount of accounts paypal has they might have an internal 'account score'. Higher scores might give a bit of resistance to being Frozen at paypal whim.
I trust paypal as far as I can throw them
