PayPal Community

I ALSO believe I have been having the same problem!!   I used to JUST use paypal for online stuff. The money i sent and recieved....was just too & from my PAYPAL ACCOUNT BALANCE. I never messed with any transfering to and from my bank account/card, etc.   I already have a credit card on file, same one it always has been (mastercard), just because paypal needed to verification of some sort. NOW everytime i try paying for items off of ebay or the xbox.com or ANY other online store....it will bring me to the paypal login page to pay & once logged in, it asks to Link a new debit or credit card for instant payment (THOUGH it states & shows that there is already 1 active card on file already!.....so why is it asking for another??) When i type in the information of my card already on file...it states that card is already in use on my account. WHY am i all of a sudden needing to add ANOTHER card? When to be honest....i only have my ONE credit card in the first place.....now what? I have seen posts from people that have their bank account and 1-3 different cards linked to their paypal & it is STILL asking the same thing!!    Is it some sort of glitch?? (as ive seen in some threads & website forums) WHATS THE DEAL PAYPAL!??....your supposed to be the "safer & easiest way to pay online".... seems lately there has been this same issues with tons of other users. People are losing business & others are getting extremley frusterated with being unable to pay for items they commited to buying! ....if the problem is some glitch...id rather not have my money & personal information in jeopardy of that! Im on the verge of closing my paypal..along with amny others ive seen! ... View more

I have the same problem with a wrinkle. I have no idea who to blame. Maybe me for getting into this situation in the first place. Okay. Found a pretty god deal on a computer I need for a course I'm taking. Couldn't pay them because I had no way to get the payment to them. Opened a Paypal account. Couldn't pay for the computer because there was nothing in the account. New, remember. Even though it is linked to my bank account it is slower than snail mail to get the funds transferred. In about a week the funds will be ready to go. so far, so good. More fun. I found a better deal. Good? The new place (Best Buy) does not use Paypal. Now. I have a Paypal gift card with around $40 dollars on it. Can I get Paypal to load the gift card with the funds to pay Best Buy? Or am I along the right people? ... View more
