Issue Adding Debit Card/ Paying Through PayPal with Debit Card

[kcferrao]

Hi all,

Up until mid-December, I was able to add/remove my debit card, and pay for stuff online via PayPal with the same debit card. Sometime mid-December, PayPal suddenly just stopped accepting payments through this card, although I am able to pay with the card on other sites just fine. It kept saying that my card was 'declined' and that I should contact my bank. So I did. They told me that there was nothing wrong with my account, and that they did not receive any validation/verification request from Paypal at all since I last paid through PayPal early-December. 

I hate that I keep getting the damned automated email replies when I try to contact via email, so I'm hoping there's a solution to this that could come from here. I'd appreciate if someone could help me out, because this is super inconvenient, and defeats the purpose of me having a PayPal account at all :/.

Thanks in advance.

Maybe it's because you're adding and removing the debit card from your PayPal account and PayPal finally declined it.

Contact customer service for further assistance to reset the card so you can link it and leave it there: 

Click HELP at the top menu, scroll down to click CONTACT US, and then scroll down to click CALL US.

Thanks for the reply!

I removed it because it kept getting declined haha. Thought maybe re-adding it would help with that, and now it's not letting me add the card at all.
