PayPal Community

I wanted to post again hoping it would help someone out who is going through this BS. On Saturday I submitted an email that contained my drivers license and a copy of the receipt and this morning which is Monday, I received an email from this 3rd party support that the issue was fixed & I could now load my cards. The 203 error code has been confirmed by 2 representatives to mean that the card was activated during checkout but the pin that you scratch off did not successfully activate. Unfortunately there is nothing PayPal can do its all on this 3rd party's support team. I tried my card again and it did go through. So I suggest anyone with a 203 error code to call the number on the number on the back, and submit the info right away so they can get on it. Make note that the support team is not available on weekends. I hope this helps. ... View more

The 203 error code means that during activation, the card was electronically activated but the pin number was not. I got an informed representative during one of the several times I called. They don't want to tell you its their fault . Also this is NOT PayPal. This is a 3rd party company with very poor customer service. When the money is transferred, then PayPal covers you but can't help until then.This 3rd party process is total BS &and can take up to 3 business days to resolve. Meanwhile you're out your money. They ask for you to email a copy of your ID & and receipt. I no longer recommend using this service. PayPal is safe but this transfer is not associated with PayPal at all. Its a 3rd party transfer. You are taking a chance.i hope this helps someone out there. ... View more
