Why can't I pay with my debit card?

I'm a new user who's only recently joined paypal. My bank account is verified and my debit card is set up on the site and was working fine until just today. When making a purchase on a website today, the only payment options were e-cheque or instant bank transfer. My debit card was working fine yesterday and always turned up as the first payment option, but now it is no longer available as a payment option for some reason?. Why can't I pay using my debit card? It worked for my first five purchases with the site (two last night and three this morning), but on my sixth purchase it stopped showing my debit card as a payment option for some reason, even though it was working perfectly fine yesterday and this morning.

 

Is there any way to fix this problem so I can use my debit card as my payment option? I really don't want to have to pay by e-cheque if at all possible since it takes so long. the only reason I signed up my bank account was so I could use my card, since it's so easy to pay using it.

 

Thankyou in advance for any help!

Hello, I made a paid with my debit card but I haven´t recieved the confirmation for paypal that show me that the paid is had done, for that reason I cancelled the payment and I called the company and they told that they haven´t recieved the money so I paid again with the debit card but they told my that this transaction is no avaliable with debit card, only with credit card, thus i don´t know what I have to do.

 

Please help me with this problem

Hi there Exnursepeter,

 

What error message are you receiving?

 

Make sure your card details are up to date.

Once i try to add the payment to my "Freelancer.com" with my ATM / VISA DEBIT Card, Paypal rejected my request by saying:

 

"We were unable to verify this card. Please review and make sure that the information you entered is correct. Your card billing address needs to match your PayPal postal address."

 

What actually I need to DO? Smiley Sad
