Hi @vGerg,
Thank you for your post and welcome to our Community Help Forum!
I am sorry about your issue. To help protect your account, PayPal uses a complex screening process for card payments. This helps prevent lost or stolen cards from being used in our system. On rare occasions, the screening process affects valid cards. A card might also be declined if:
- The card issuer is having technical problems that prevent authorisation of a transaction.
- The card issuer sees a charge that doesn’t fit your normal spending patterns and blocks the transaction to protect you.
- You’ve inadvertently exceeded the limit on your card.
You may:
- Contact your card issuer directly. Ask why your card was declined, and whether you can still use it.
- You can link your bank account to your PayPal account in just a few minutes. The merchant never sees your financial or other personal information.
- Add a different card to your PayPal account.
Please contact us by clicking 'Help & Contact' at the bottom of the PayPal homepage so that we can look into this further. You may reach out to us on Facebook or Twitter.
I hope this helps.
Cristina
