I'm afraid I have some good and bad news.... my card works again. I didn't do anything to fix this, it just seems to be working now. I stopped using my PayPal card for over 7 months because of this problem and just the other day I absent-minded-ly used my PayPal debit card to pay for a USPS shipment via card reader... and it worked! So the good news is this problem is resolved for me. The bad news is I have no idea what the original issue was, nor do I have a fix other than, "Maybe it will fix itself after 6 months?" The only other thing I can think of at the moment is, perhaps the PayPal card did not like my funding source. I have a The Bancorp Bank (Chime) account as the funding source and for some reason, *AT THE TIME*, I vaguely recall that PayPal would have intermittent troubles using that funding source. I don't know why. Maybe PayPal temporarily blocked The Bancorp Bank transactions at one point and have now since removed the block. The only reason I doubt this "bad funding source" explanation is because my PP card would be rejected completely, if PP didn't like the funding source then they would have moved on to my backup funding source (which does NOT have troubles), right...? Anyways, good luck to you two. Try your cards again, see anything has changed for you. EDIT: Dreamstone1212 - Do you mean your chip is broken? That happened to all of my PP cards. Request a new card and your EMV chip should start working again. It's annoying having to attempt payment multiple times just so you can swipe with the magstrip... try getting a replacement. They're free I think.
