been having the same problem, but my card has been on three different accounts (though that is due to trying to solve another problem ive had with paypal). so if i ask my bank to send me a new card, that one will work even though its the same bank account? i only have one bank account and really dont want to open a whole new bank account just for paypal. really need this resolved because its become rather difficult to buy and sell on ebay when transactions are taking weeks.

Just so I understand this correctly. Let's say I had a credit card on my Paypal account in the past. Let's say I then removed the card at some point. Now, if I'm trying to add it once again, maybe a year or two later, I won't be allowed to - is that correct?

Hi there MJM3000,

 

No, this is not correct. 

 

Basically, a card can only be registered to one PayPal account at any given time.

 

If you remove your card from your PayPal account you can then re-add it to this or a new PayPal account at any stage.

 

Hope this clarifies things!

I have the same problem. However, my question is, where can I see which cards are connected to which PayPal account. As far as I can see the card that I am trying to add is not linked to any of my PayPal Accounts. What can I do to add this card and make a payment? 

 

Many thanks, 

 

help!!!

How much time should pass before I link my credit card from one account to another? 

 

I had one account with my credit card but I decided to delete it. Now I want to link that credit card to my business account  but it gives me the message that it cant be linked because its prevously linked with another one.

Good day,

 

I have used my Paypal account for about 4 years without any problem.  About a month prior to the expiration of the card (September or October 2012), Paypal prompted me to renew the credit card, which I did.  After that, when I tried to pay with Paypal, it said that I needed to link a new card and that there were 0 cards associated to my account.  I thought that maybe the system did not record my renewal, so I re-entered my renewed card details.  But now I get the following message: "We're sorry, but that credit card can't be linked to additional PayPal accounts. Please link a different credit card."

 

Some points:

 

1. The old and new cards have the same number. I simply renewed it.

2. I followed Paypal's advise of renewing it and updating my records with Paypal BEFORE the expiration.

3. I have no other Paypal acounts. I have ONE (1) account.

4. Nobody has ever touched or used my credit card other than myself and I have counter-checked this with my bank.

5. Getting a new card is NOT an answer to this system issue.

 

Your prompt assistance will be appreciated.

 

Thank you,

Michael
