Add same credit card to two PayPal accounts (self and spouse)

My wife and I have our own Paypal account, but share the same credit card (she is an authorized user). I have already added the credit card to my account without a problem, but now when I try to add the card to hers, I get an error that the card is already associated with another account. 

 

Is there something I need to do on my account to allow her to use the same card?

 

I have to imagine this is a pretty typical use case.

A card can only be linked to one paypal account at a time.

Thanks for replying, but unfortunately that does not help. I really can't believe Paypal would now allow two individuals with a joint credit card to use it on each other's account.
