Since I registered my account I have not been able to link my card, once I link it I will be told that card is not accepted and I should contact my bank. I had to register for a new master card to try again but still the same thing. Please can someone help me out with this issue?

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

Also 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 thanks, I was using my Visa card earlier to link in my PayPal but it was still declining, which I had to go get a master card today. And I want to use it to receive funds online. So I can only link it if my account is a dollar account?

Did you actually read my reply?

Firstly has to be a CREDIT visa, is that what you added?

Secondly did you not read the part when I said you CANNOT receive funds into a paypal account in your country.
