Hello,

 

I create mt first Paypal account today (i'm from Cape Verde) and when i'm trying to insert the card number, i receive the following error message: "This card is linked to another PayPal account. Please remove the card from the other account or try a different payment method."

 

How can this be true if i never used Paypal before? What can i do to passthrough this problem?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Eliane.

Hi @elianebarros,

 

I'm sorry to hear that the card can't be added. Please contact PayPal customer service by phone for assistance. Click Contact at the bottom of the PayPal website, then Call us, then call as a guest or log in.

 

A representative will be able to safely take your card number over the phone and search the system to investigate whether the card number has been used previously or not.

 

I hope this helps!

 

Olivia
