Hi PpBtrollN,

 

If you are receiving a message advising you that your card can't be linked to anymore PayPal accounts, it would mean that your card has been registered to two or three different accounts in the lifetime of the card.

 

There is a security feature on the PayPal system that will disable a card for entry on to the system once it is attempted to be registered to a third PayPal account.

 

This can't be reset and you won't be able to use this particular card on the PayPal website again. Your best option would be to try having a new card issued by your bank or try using a different card on your PayPal account.

David I have never linked this card to a pay pal account EVER....Plus this is the only Pay pal account I have! So why can't I just use this card?

Hi there Mikhaila, 

 

Check with all of your family members to ensure they have not used this card on an account in the past. 

 

Alternatively, if you call us we can verify some information and tell you exactly where it has been added.

 

Let us know how you get on.

Hey there Nexus2012,

 

Welcome to the community.

 

If you’re being told that the card is already registered is it possible that a family member may have added it to their account?

 

If this is not the case, please contact customer service so that the account can be located where your card is attached and the appropriate action can be taken.

 

Let us know how you get on.

Same problem here. And no none of my family member had used this card because I live by myself. Also, I did have a  paypal account maybe a few years back but it is linked to another card which is now deactivated. Is it possible that this is an error on your end and not the consumers that use your site? By the way I have never linked anything in this card.
