Thanks for your answer, i found the reason why...
I added a VISA card to my account, i opened the website and try to purchase
Unfortunately they ask me to add a card...
i tried once to add my card and saw that they only accept MasterCard or Discover... so no VISA

Hi,
Since you have linked your card you must need to confirm it too so you can use for any purchase or transaction.
Linking and confirming your debit or credit card helps protect your account:
- It increases security within the PayPal community.
- It confirms your identity and verifies that you own the card associated with your PayPal account.
- It limits the risk with stolen credit cards and fake identities.
When you link your card to your account by authorizing PayPal to charge a small amount, PayPal generates a unique random code which displays on your card statement. Only the legitimate owner of the card has access to the statement. For this reason, this process limits the risk connected with stolen credit cards and fake identities.
If you find this or any other post was helpful, make our community better by giving kudos or accepting it as a solution.
