information as is.

Adding a Credit Card Account
The final step in creating a new test user is adding a credit card account for the test user. The
credit card account is a source of funds for the test user’s PayPal account, and thus can be used
for transactions between that test user and other test users. A test user can have multiple credit
card accounts.
Test credit card numbers cannot be used to pay for real-world transactions.
