This is pretty crazy. It sounds like a number of customers trying to make a payment with their credit card, and withOUT using a PayPal login will get this message. Although I am a PayPal member, I am using a credit card and email address that IS NOT known to PayPal. So the issue is not that of an email address or CC number associated with a PayPal account. A friend was able to successfully pay $25 into my acct, but I cannot pay $2. (Does the amount affect the issue???) I get that message: "The card you entered cannot be used for this payment. Please enter a different credit or debit card number." I would sure like to know what PayPal means by this (copied from above): The PayPal security model is a complex system to prevent potential fraudulent transactions in the PayPal system. If you would like further explanation of the model, please contact customer service. Be advised though, that we cannot override a security model decision and if a buyer is being asked to login to their existing account to pay, they will be required to or they can try a different credit card. I'll be contacting Customer Service.
