When I try to buy from ebay, I am prompted to logon to my paypal account., but then I get this "To complete this payment, link a debit or credit card to your PayPal account. Your card will not be charged unless the transaction amount exceeds your balance."
I don't think is it right - any body else seen it?
Seems odd as I've been using paypal for a few years, and never been prompted for this. Also it's not an expensive purchase. I thought the whole point of PayPal was so that you didn't have to enter card details in website.
I've just had the same problem. Annoyingly, once I've put all my card details in and clicked Continue, the form just clears and nothing else happens. So I can't make my payment of £6, knowing full-well there's enough in my account. Any ideas?
I've just tried to buy from eBay and been requested to add a card, however I already have a debit card linked to the account. Why do I need to add another???
I'm getting the same message. I already have 2 cards linked to eBay (mine & my partner's), and I'm getting the message no matter which PayPal account I try. I was making multiple purchases when the problem started, and all bar one went through ok. The one that didn't was only for a couple of quid, and both PayPal accounts are verified and have more than enough funds. I found lots of posts about this from two years ago, so it seems it's nothing new 😞 I think PayPal & eBay need to get their act together if they want to keep their customers.
