Lost my wallet and ALL the credit cards in it! For some reason, Paypal won’t let me delete a card I’d been using through PayPal! Seems pretty stupid! If they try to process a payment through that card, they’ll get an immediate rejection and I’ll get a fraud alert! Why companies like Paypal make it difficult/impossible to preform commonsence tasks is amazing to me! Go ahead Paypal...try and use that card! I had it cancelled and Paypal will be the subject of a fraud alert!! Good job!!
They would only stop you removing a card if it was linked to a pending transaction or subscription....
Check if you had a subscription set up... Click on the profile tab (icon next to log out) > Click on payments third option along on the thick blue band top of page > "manage pre-approved payments''.

I checked even though I already knew. I have no subscriptions/reoccurring payments. Everything they showed me, going back to 2009, were one time purchases. It’s almost as if they’re worried that I won’t make purchases through them so they’ll hold a card (dead card) hostage! Very strange! I do, however, appreciate your feedback/suggestion! Thank you!!
Thing that confuses me is that i have never known paypal to stop you removing a card unless the account was limited.
Why not give them a call and ask them to remove it for you?
Click on the words "Help / Contact" at the bottom of paypals pages and use the phone option in the blue band at the top OR very bottom of page dependent on what country you are in. Scroll down past the list of help questions and click on 'Call us' bottom of that page. Log in and get the code.
