I can't link my Romanian VISA USD card to Pay Pal

Hello,

 

My Romanian bank has issued a VISA debit card for my USD bank account, but I can't link it to my Pay Pal account. The card has been activated for online activity, as per bank agreement.

 

The message shown in an error box every time I try to link it is: "This card is not accepted. Please use a different card."

 

I understand that I will be charged and returned a small verification fee of 1-2$. My current account ballance is 3.94$. Will that be enough, considering any additional transfer fees?

 

Please advise, as I need to start using my account ASAP.

 

Thank you,

 

Kind regards,

Petru Fistoc

Thank you for replying.

 

I'm from Romania.

Not sure what country's PayPal account I have. I'm accessing PayPal from a Romanian IP.

I am trying to link a debit card issued by a Romanian bank.
