How?  By following the directions given to "verify".  Look at the CC statement from right after you registered it.  There should have been two small transactions on the card from PayPal.  The numbers identifying the transactions are needed to verify your CC and then to set it so you can use it to make payments.   Give it a shot.  Can't hurt, might solve. ...

I have had a PayPal account for quite a while, have had a number of different bank accounts and credit cards on file and have had no problems except for the failure of the US-managed PayPal to understand that Canadian bank-issued debit cards yank the money out of the **bleep** bank in seconds and transfer it to an American destination account in seconds more.  But that's not my issue now.   For some reason, and I have no idea what that may be, tonight PayPal decided to refuse to allow me to pay for my purchases.  I ordinarily use direct bank transfer, and have been very satisfied with the system.  My bank accounts have lots of money in them, and have never refused a PayPal request/demand for funds.  To add insult to injury, PayPal has also refused to allow payment to be made via my credit card, also in good standing with zero negative history.  The Sellers are all longtime Sellers on Ebay and longtime users of PayPal, with sterling records.  There is no discernable reason why these payments should have been refused.   I want someone to tell me, in plain English, why.  It's not much to ask. ...

You are all certain that PayPal and Ebay are responsible for the inter-country blocks.  You are cussing and blaming very freely.  Have you thought that the problem might be with the international LAW on currency transfers and international LAW on banking and settlements?   Ebay and PayPal are not ALWAYS the demons. ...
