hi all,
anyone know how to fix PayPal so i can add my second bank card?
I currently life in Denmark, i life happy here and things go well.
i opened my account as i was getting payments for a job trough here now i have added my Danish bank card and that went all good,
however the problems arise when i tried adding my belgian bank card.
for some reason the system locked me into denmark making it impossible for me to also add a belgian bank card,
is there a way that i can still fix this?

Paypal is country specific so you have to open a paypal account in the country you reside in and add an address / phone number / bank accounts / cards from within that country.
You can however in some countries add a U.S bank account (not card) to your paypal account. This is because paypal is a U.S company.
If you have that option then it should show in your paypal wallet.

well @kernowlass before both banks have been added before just not at the same time.
if always been bit careful and removed my cards when i was done paying for the things i wanted to buy through paypal but now i cant even add my Belgian card anymore what is frustrating , so if i cannot find a way to get them both linked then i will have to contact paypal themselves to see if i cannot get them to force the card on.

If you keep adding/removing a card then at some point you can't add it again. There is a finite number of times you can add the same card to a paypal account (country dependent).
However with a bank account (not card) its x3 times.
