Tonight was the second time this same thing happened to me and I practically killed myself trying to remember how I solved it last time. What I had to do last time is call paypal and talk to a couple of useless people that gave me misinformation before I finally got ahold of someone who knew what they were talking about. The reason your card didn't go through is that it is a credit card and although paypal says enter a credit/debit card number, it really tries to run the transaction as a debit card. To solve this, there is a very small link in the payment confirmation page that says something about "funding sources." Find that (I think the link is in blue), click on it and scroll to the very bottom of all the inane information they have there. At the very bottom, they have 2 buttons where you can choose to either make the transaction as a debit or a credit card. Choose credit card and then OK or whatever. Continue with the transaction and it should work fine. WHY DO THEY HAVE TO MAKE IT SO HARD??? It's probably too late to help you, but maybe someone else with this problem will see this topic and will know what to do. Good luck!
