I can't seem to make a student account for my son. When it asks me to add a debit card, I enter all my info but it says that the card is already linked to my account and I need to add a different one. I only have one debit card, PLEASE HELP!

Do you already have a credit card attached to your PayPal account? The most common setup is for people to have a credit card and a bank account attached to the PayPal account, after which setting up the Student Account is just a matter of providing your students' name, email address, birth date..... then setting up a password for them which can be changed later.

Yes i do have a bank account linked to my paypal. I have a debit card linked to it however, and not a credit card, i dont know if that matters. When i try to setup a student account it says my bank account is already confirmed, but i need to add a card to confirm my address. I already have my debit card linked though.
