Iam using Paypal since 2007 and never seen this issue. On 2 website ( 3dhubs and Bangood) paypall is now asking me to add a credit card ? This while i have my bankaccount linked and approved for direct debit ?
Anyone know whats going on ?
- Please add a credit card to complete your purchase.
Funny thing is is that at my profile adding a credit card is the next step ( 60 % ) but i dont want to add a credit card.
Paying method is stated correct on my account :
Choose a funding source at checkout :
SNS Bank Savings Account <removed>
If you have a PayPal balance, we'll use it first.
Same issue as here :

Likewise - the problem now appears to have been resolved for me and my ability to pay has returned.

I tried buying stuff on the playstation store today. Still got the credit card problem. Later (about an hour ago) I tried again, but on my phone. I still got the problem, but after pressing "cancel" in the credit card form it suddenly just completed the transaction instead. So that worked, I guess.
I'm also from the Netherlands, btw.

I'm in the Netherlands and 've had all the problems outlined above over the past two weeks - and still have them. According to my PayPal Wallet, my bank account is linked via a DD mandate to PayPal, and it's still in force. Yet I *cannot* use this to pay for anything from eBay via PayPal, and I'm railroaded into using my credit card instead. There's no option to choose the debit card that PayPal knows about. Why not?
I don't want to use my credit card! This has happened only in the past two weeks - before then, my debit card arrangement worked fine. Looking forward to seeing some resolution or official response from PayPal on here.

Paypal is asking me to associate a Credit Card to my account each time I want to make an ebay or another site payments.
I have already make purchases with my account two month ago with the same account.
My current paypal balance is zero.
I don't have Credit Card, help please
Regards.

After calling Paypal today, it appears that the problem is associated to their risk algorithm. Becuase the direct debit mandate takes some time to process, Paypal calculates a certain risk factor per customer to ensure due payment. When you cross your risk threshhold in outstanding payments, Paypal introduces this credit card option until your bank has made the transfer to Paypal.
I managed to circumvent the problem by directly adding funds to my Paypal account from my Bank.
Hope this helps.
