Hi

Someone want send me money and he says that I don't have valid paypal account and that's why they can't send me payment.

 

I get this message:

 

You cannot receive payments in or withdraw payments from your PayPal account, because previous transfers to your preferred card or bank account failed.

 

Also, when I click on Request Money on Paypal I got this:


Your Account May Only Be Used to Send Money

 

As a PayPal Send Only account holder, you are not permitted to receive funds from other PayPal account holders.

Your account cannot receive payments. To receive payments, set up your account.

 

when i try add my card it says:

 

You have already successfully entered the 4-digit PayPal code and confirm this card.

 


Where is the problem? Before I used to receive money from anyone on my paypal account and now I can't

 

My paypal is verified with a Visa Electron credit card issued in Croatia.

Why have you said click on ways to contact as this is not correct. There is absolutely no way anywhere that you can email with a drop down menu for "Suddenly no one can send me money on my existing PAYPAL ADDRESS OF 10 YEARS.

I have the same problem too. But after viewed paypal FAQ and other comments from users, i noticed that personal account can only send or pay money online but it can't receive payment rather than refund money.

I closed it and a created busssiness account that have all paypal features.

I am waiting if i will be able to receive payment now.
