Why can't I receive payment?

[Lahaga]

I did a test on Teslio platform and they tried to pay me but the payment did not go through that my account can not receive payment.

The option to receive Paypal payments is sadly not available in Nigeria.
You can only send payments for purchases funded by your (confirmed) credit card.

Paypal varies a lot country to country and can only offer the services that the banks / governments of that country allow it to offer.
There are quite a few countries unable to receive Paypal payments.

Okay.

So what about this issue that I can't add my debit card?

This is the message I got, ''Your card was declined by the issuing bank. Please try a different card or contact your card issuer with questions''.

You can't add a local bank account / debit card in your country.
You can only link a visa credit card.

Both my Mastercard and Visa cards were all rejected.

Are they credit and not debit cards?
