Can't apply for the PayPal Cash debit card: "Can't update your account"

I got the following message trying to make a PayPal Cash debit card...

We can't update your account

We're unable to make the requested updates to your account. You're still able to use your PayPal account to shop, send money, and get paid.

I tried going to the Resolution Center, but there's no information about an account limitation there. I also use this account to sell on eBay, so it should be verified. I don't have a bank account linked to PayPal, is that a requirement to get a cash card? Any help would be appreciated.

Seth— I’m having the same issue trying to get the Paypal Cash card and getting the message “we can’t update your account.” Did you call support or figure out what the issue was?
