Hi Arda,   Thanks for the quick response.  My bank does not render internet banking services automatically. In Greece banks ask for an extra application from their customers in order to offer them onlne banking.  I have already thought that maybe the code shows up on any online statements if available, and have applied for online banking.  Still expecting for the bank response.  Given how differently Greek banks work, I don't even know if I will have online statements available to check!! Fingers X'ed!  I will keep this board posted as things roll on here... I'm sure many others especially in Greece face similar inaniites when trying to confirm a debit bank card via Payal.   Cheers.      ... View more

Hi,   I see what you are saying about debit cards, but is this is an older way of doing things perhaps? Because the way things work right now, there is no way to tell Paypal that the card you registered wth them is a debit card. Judging from my experience (I wrote my question on a separate post), they still charge the amount of 1.50 euro for a debit card confirmation, just like you describe they do in the case of a creadit card.  So, what's the deal?  Please let me know if I'm missing anything.    Thanks a million! ...

Hello,    Can someone from Paypal help? I use a personal account. I have linked my bank account with no issues. However, I have account limits so I tried to register my DEBIT bank card which has a maestro logo on it. The amount of 1.50 euro has been charged with no source name (i.e. it doesn't say it is from Paypal but I assume it is since it is charged on the day I registered my card online) neither is there any 4-digit code next to the amount. What am I doing wrong? To sum up: The card is not a creadit card. It's the debit card that I use with the bank account where my paycheck is deposited.  The amount was charged with no code showing anywhere. I get no bank statements on the mail, only automated bank booklet info (shows all transactions up to the date), which is done at the bank cashier when I visit. (This is a common practice here in Greece.)   Any ideas, how I can get my code?  And a last question: Why can't linking a bank account be enough for the limits to be lifted? We're talking about the same bank account here, not a difference card account!    Thank you very much in advance.   ... View more
