@trythis391 I have already picked an answer as solution (another one of my replies). If you didn't read this thread carefully, there are more causes and solutions to this problem: 1. PayPal doesn't support mastercards in your country - this is very unlikely to be true, but make sure you check the list of supported countries for mastercard. When I had this issue, an idiot working for customer service did not even know her business well enough and thought PayPal is out of reach in Romania (it was not and is not). 2. You don't have enough money on your card - as I have said, my problem was that my credit card was empty when I wanted to link it for the first time. When you first link a credit card to a PayPal account, you must have at least 3 euros on it. And here's why: PayPal will deduct a small fee for their services, that you only pay once, when activating a credit card. If you don't have enough money for PayPal to withdraw their fee, you will get the error that the title mentions. 3. Your card needs some kind of activation to allow PayPal services - This was said by one of the people around here and I do not know if it's true. It sounds unlikely that credit cards require such thing. When I visited the bank to get help from them, because I too thought there is an issue with my credit card, they said "there is no such activation, if PayPal admits mastercards, they should admit yours too". So you can try this out, but I don't know if it's any good. If this information helps, I have a student master card from Raiffeisen Bank, I managed to link my account when I had like 10 euros on it, and it's linked to PayPal ever since. The bank was useless for informations, the customer service was useless for informations, but I hope this helped you a bit. And if any PayPal admin or customer service sees this thread and this message, some of you are worthless and simply work for a paycheck, with no clue on what you're actually doing. It's good to write "working as Customer Service at PayPal" on your Facebook wall, but you sure as **bleep** can't do jack when asked a simple question outside your comfort zone. PayPal better hire my **bleep** for solving this thing out when their staff couldn't.
