"We added your new payment method, but can’t use it right now"

[TacoFlipper]

I have been trying to pay for a service for two days and I Paypal keeps on asking me to link my card and my bank when it is already linked. I do not understand what the flying hell is going on with that. What gives? I was able to send the person I was doing business with money but now, paypal keeps on telling me link a card but I have done that process to many times. It is surely not my bank since they have placed no limits on me and they said everything is a-okay on their end. 

What gives?

Did you confirm the card after adding it with the 4 digit code?

Does the billing address of the card exactly match your paypal account address?

I am getting this message back. Multiple times. And it is my literal address and card. I do not understand what is wrong.

Even after I added my details, it just loops back to asking me. And I have been putting my details again and again and again and again, it is driving me insane.

Try another card? Or contact your card issuer and see if there is a problem on their side.

Failing that contact customer services and see if they can add it for you?
