Hi @FayRose and @Santosh21,
Thank you for your post! I'm sorry that there is any confusion. The information given may be a misinterpretation of the available information on this topic. My understanding is that there is no specific limit for the number of times a card can be added in its lifetime, however a card is reviewed by the security system each time it is added, and adding a card repetitively may potentially be one factor that may cause it to be rejected. There are other factors that are considered as well, of course, and it is not always possible to pinpoint the exact reason for a decline.
I believe the confusion that led to the answer that a card can be added 8 times stems from the limit that up to 8 of most things can be added. Up to 8 email addresses, cards, etc. can be added in most cases.
If you're seeing an error that says that it is still linked to another account, that would mean that it is still tied to another account, and that would have to be resolved before the card could be re-added. Please contact customer service to request help with that. Click Contact at the bottom of the PayPal website for contact options.
I hope this helps!
