PayPal Community

It’s one issue or another with PayPal it’s starting to really aggravate me. For months I was trying to simply confirm my card so I could actually use PayPal, when by some amazing chance it sorted itself out one day everything was fine. I haven’t had to use PayPal for months after my last issue (was unable to authorise my card, I needed to use it for Depop) and a friend just sent me some money (around £17) and I go to withdraw and the option to send to my bank ISNT THERE. And it’s saying I have to go through the whole authorising card sending instructions via email process. My card is confirmed it was the option beneath that that needed authorising. After being advised to use the browser option I was able to at least select withdraw money but then it said there’s an issue with my account! I’m tired of these issues popping up every time I open or need the app and I haven’t been able reliably use PayPal for years. Can someone out there just fix my account so I don’t have to deal with these issues for the foreseeable? I hate having to wait on the phone or back and forth email someone every time I want to do something as trivial as withdraw money. ... View more

Hi So it seems to be an ongoing issue for me that I just simply cannot verify my card. For the past few months every now and then I’ll try to verify my card, I spoke a wonderful lady earlier today who attempted to help and said my card was successfully added but it ended up not being the case. I had slightly more success using the web browser on my phone than the app. I was able to get to the transaction verification step but the kicker is I don’t have nor can I transfer money to my PayPal: through technicality or through personal circumstances. I get a failed transaction message which HAS the four number code thing they’re asking for but it seems it has to be a successful transaction because there’s no option to go further. Please someone help so I can put this PayPal saga to bed. It’s been really annoying me every time I’ve attempted it. If I really have to wait for it to be a successful transaction I can do so, I just wish there were other ways to verify this. It seems I’ve left it to late as it’s no longer business hours to ask them themselves 😞 Sorry for dragging on a bit. And thank you in advance. ... View more
