Linked card wont register as removed, error message on new account, card being used by old account

[evaevie]

There is no card attached to the old closed account and i got a confirmation email stating that i removed the card from that account, i made a new account later that day and tried to add the card and i got the error message that my card was linked to another paypal account, this is impossible, and i dont know how to solve it as i got a confirmation email on the old closed account that i had removed the only linked card. How do i solve this, does it take a full day to register that the card was removed?

Unfortunately you’ll have to use a different credit card because it’s one per account. It doesn’t matter if you removed it already it won’t work on the new account

Wrong advice again.

@evaevie 

As long as you removed it from the closed account you can add it to a new account as long as you haven't added it 8 times in total to any PayPal accounts that have been opened then closed.

Allow 72 hours before trying to re add it and clear cookies/cache.

If still can't add contact customer services and they can add it for you.

They can also remove any cards from closed accounts if you forgot to remove any.
