Why can't I pay with my debit card?

I'm a new user who's only recently joined paypal. My bank account is verified and my debit card is set up on the site and was working fine until just today. When making a purchase on a website today, the only payment options were e-cheque or instant bank transfer. My debit card was working fine yesterday and always turned up as the first payment option, but now it is no longer available as a payment option for some reason?. Why can't I pay using my debit card? It worked for my first five purchases with the site (two last night and three this morning), but on my sixth purchase it stopped showing my debit card as a payment option for some reason, even though it was working perfectly fine yesterday and this morning.

 

Is there any way to fix this problem so I can use my debit card as my payment option? I really don't want to have to pay by e-cheque if at all possible since it takes so long. the only reason I signed up my bank account was so I could use my card, since it's so easy to pay using it.

 

Thankyou in advance for any help!

I have used paypal often in the past when dealing with e-bay, my method of payment is by using my visa/debit card

all of a sudden my card is no longer being used on the paypal site.

as i was browsing I made a bid and was asked to undergo a security check. I put my card details in 3 times and each time was informed that it was an invalid no.  This is ridiculous, time wasting and unnecessary.

I'm having the same prob...

 

Gone to pay for something through PayPal A/c - Added card (which was fine) then went to ''Add Bank''  but unfortunately my sort code & account no* are not recognised as valid??

 

Really peeved now... as all I wanna do is pay for my item!! 

Not good PayPal - not good at all... especially for someone who just likes things done simply lol.

you ask paypal to link it, they will take or pay £1 from or too your account this gives you a 4 digit number after 4 to 5 days that you then give to paypal  which verifies your card. Hope this helps
