    Debit cards usually don't work. Use a real credit card.

    If you are from US you can add debit or Credit card. Only you can add bank account or credit card if you are a Non US person.

    You can make payments even if your account isn't verified.

    Try using a Virtual Credit Card (VCC) to verify your Paypal account.

    You can add only Indian Credit Card as none of indian debit cards works as far as my knowledge.

    DON.

    You'll need to search on Google. They usually cost $10 to $15.

    I suggest you to keep yourself away from VCC thingy and apply for a valid and real CC or else apply for addon CC if your parent,brother,sister having one. Just for your safe side.

    DON.

    Although paypal website say you can use debit cards I didnt have any luck with it. But it accepts CC.

    But I have read some where that Debit cards of VISA etc will be accepted if it is not an electron card.

    electron cards are accepted only in ATMs and swiping machines I think.
