I just got approved for $2500 paypal credit today but when I try to use it i get this message...We are sorry, but we could not complete this payment, because it has been denied by the card issuer. Please retry with a different card or funding option to continue with the payment. Could you tell me what this could mean?

Hey @cw97ss,

 

Congrats on getting approved, and I'm sorry to hear about the trouble using the credit line - that can definitely be frustrating. It sounds like you may be encountering our internal security, which may be denying the payment due to risk. This typically happens if the transaction you're attempting is outside of your normal purchase pattern (much higher amount, different kinds of goods or services, etc.), your account has had any recent suspicious activity (an unusual login from a new device or location), or we see any kind of risk related to the transaction itself (on either the buyer or seller's side). 

 

I would advise trying to purchase from a different merchant or vendor to see if you're able to complete the payment. If not, please contact us so that we can look into this more directly and see what's causing the issue. I hope this helps! 🙂

Does it matter if I use paypal credit to send money to friends as far as being denied?

Thanks for following up, @cw97ss!

 

You may use PayPal Credit to fund Friends and Family payments, so it sounds like it could likely be an issue with our security system or the PayPal Credit account. 

For further troubleshooting and for security purposes, it would likely be best to follow @PayPal_AshleyM's direction to reach out to PayPal customer support.

Sorry, new user. I wasn't sure how to start a new topic ...

 

We have a customer in France that would like to send us money for our service.  How do we set that up?

Welcome, @GinnyL!

 

Thanks for stopping by our Chat and welcome to PayPal! 🙂 

 

If you don't have PayPal linked to a website, there are alternative ways for you to receive a payment. 🙂 

 

You can either provide your PayPal email address to the buyer so they can send money to you or you may use Request Money on your PayPal account to send a payment request to the buyer to pay from. 

 

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have more questions!

You're welcome, @GinnyL! Great follow up question! The rate for international payments received is 4.4% of the received payment plus a fixed fee based on currency received. If you need more info on fees click here. 🙂

 

I hope that helps!
