Stuck in a PayPal / Virtual Card / USDC loop

Hey everyone,

I’m stuck in a weird situation and hoping someone here has dealt with something similar.

I’ve been doing microtasks and have some funds in PayPal. I created a virtual card to withdraw my balance, but it requires at least $1 on the card to verify it.

The only way to fund the virtual card is via crypto (USDC), but I can’t buy crypto because my funds are locked in PayPal — so I’m stuck in a chicken-and-egg situation.

Has anyone found a workaround for something like this? Any practical suggestions would really help.

Thanks in advance.
