Since customer service is non-existent, I'd appreciate some help with resolving the issue that my debit card is getting declined. When I attempted to use some of my balance to make a payment, it was repeatedly declined. There is a more than sufficient balance to cover the transaction. The Help info is less than helpful and I've been waiting for hours for a reply from the Chat Assistant.
Any ideas?

Are the funds you are trying to spend the same as the funds in your account? IE are you trying to pay in USD for something that requires pound sterling or the euro? You may need to ensure you have the required currency in your PayPal account. Also check to make sure it is added to your account as an accepted way to pay.

Hello @LynnBK
Thank you for writing in the PayPal Help Community!
Sorry to hear that you've run into some issues while paying through PayPal Debit Card. Payments can often be blocked or declined if there's any possible risk. If you've already gone through the information listed in this Help Center article about PayPal Debit Card being declined, I would suggest you to try the payment again at a later date by clearing your cookies, history, cache, etc. from your browser or try using a different browser/device. Also, please make sure that there are no pending actions in your account. You can review any pending actions in the resolution center or notifications tab in your PayPal account. If your account is up to date and still getting error after trying these, please reach out to our team through the available contact options listed in this page to get this checked further.
Thanks for the help @Grimreepr!
I hope this information helps,
Bindu
