Changed primary currency

I'm staying in Australia a while and changed my primary currency to $AUD from $USD. I get payments to my account in $AUD and living here students in the same. But, after changing my primary currency, my PayPal debit card no longer works here. Does anyone know what I need to do???

Hi @Splitska

 

Welcome to the PayPal community forum. We are always happy to have new members. 

 

It sounds like your card issuer is not allowing the payments to be charged in AUD as this is not the normal currency of your card. I would give your card issuer a call and ask to speak to the online authorisation department. They will be able to view any online denials and explain what the issue is. 

 

I hope this helps, 

Paula
