I have been having the same issue with this not able to apply for a PayPal Debit Card. I contacted them (PayPal) twice and this is there response with no resolution to this issue. Has anyone had this resolved and if so how long did it take? 1st RESPONSE & MESSAGE: Dear Darrin ######, Thank you for contacting PayPal Customer Support. My name is Aaron and I am happy to assist you with your situation. I am sorry to hear about the issues you are experiencing, while trying to apply for our debit card. But after reviewing your account, it appears that your account is being affected by a known issue, which is not allowing customers to apply for a debit card. So I went ahead and added your account to our list, so when it is resolved, we will make contact with you letting you know. You can always continue on logging into your PayPal account on a daily basis, and checking to see if it allows you to apply and that error message you are getting goes away. I am glad I was able to resolve your issue! Thank you for being a loyal PayPal customer and have a great day!

Every time I try I get this message: (Sorry, you're not eligible for the PayPal Debit MasterCard®. This may be because you live outside the United States or you've already applied in the last 30 days.) I have never lived outside the US in my life and I have not applied for a PayPal debit card. I was told that this is a known issue with some accounts not being able to apply and that my account was added to a LIST and was going to fix the problem. But this problem is still exists. I am starting to sell items on eBay and I will not have any access to the funds without this card. Other than a 3-4 day money transfer. I think this is very unprofessional business practice and I will be forced to find a alternative solution if this issue can not be resolved and in a more timely manner. This is a service that you PAYPAL offer and would think some kind of resolution would be priority.
