Hi bpatpradeep, 

 

Welcome to the PayPal Community Forum 🙂

 

If you're having difficulty adding your Visa Debit card to Paypal, it  usually means that your card issuer is denying our attempts to verify your card details for whatever reason.

 

For example, one reason might be that the card needs to be activated for online use.

 

When this type of thing happens, it's best to call the number on the back of your card to speak with the 'Online Payments Team'. This team is normally very good at identifying the problem and getting this type of thing resolved, you see.

 

Would you consider giving this a try for me?

Cannot add new VISA DEBIT card to PayPal acc after old one expired. Keeps saying this card can't be added, contact us, blah blah blah. SICK AND TIRED OF THE BULL$#!+ PAYPAL!!! Between this type of rubbish and the unfathomable amount of fraudulent emails mimicking PayPal clearly with personal information only PayPal is privvy to (TOTAL NULLIFICATION OF PRIVACY AGREEMENT) it's no wonder the % rate of online fraud is growing exponentially.

hey david

i just took my new visa dept card from the back and when i try to register it in paypal it gives me this error :

The credit card number you have entered cannot be verified. Only credit cards from approved countries may be used on PayPal.

i am pretty sure i have entered the correct card number and security 3 numbers correctly , so i think my proplem lies on one of the next :

1- paypal doesn't accept the dept cards ( which is impossiple because the website it self says it does accept)

2- my billing address country is UAE ( united arab emirates) its the country i made my paypal address on it , and

then i moved to Egypt and made my visa dept card from there so is it possiple because the diffrance between the address from where the card made and the address were i registered my paypal info are diffrant ( UAE , EGYPT ) so that the web doesn't accept it ?

3- or maybe because the name that is written in the card not the same name in my paypal account ? and if so

how do i change the name in my paypal + changing the country ? i can only change the address but can't change the country  ...

4- or you think i should make another paypal account with my current country and address ?

It must depend on WHAT Visa debit cards you have or more importantly, Who is the issuer.

I have had no problem adding TWO different Visa debit cards to my PP acct recently (one is even a VIRTUAL visa debit card/prepaid and have used them both successfully via PP .I also have two regular Visa cards on the acct.
