I have added a debit card and a bank account into my paypal account but when i try to link and confirm my debit card the following error appears "We were unable to verify this credit card. Please check if the information you entered is correct. If the problem persists, please try to enter a different credit card." The info i have entered is correct. I am using a debit card from India. Also i added a bank account from India to my paypal account. I want to know if i can verify my account with this. I am going to setup a large Gaming company pretty soon and will be doing a large number of online transactions. Please give me info on how i can get through this problem. Thank You!
Indian paypal users are not allowed to verify their account using a debit card. They can do so only with a proper credit card. Hence, you will need to get a credit card from any public/private sector bank and then try to verify your account. Regards, RightMan
Thank you for that reply. Then moving on to my next problem. I am only 18 years old with no fixed income. I cannot be approved for a credit card facility. What should i do?
You should ask your parents if you can use one of their credit cards just to verify the account. You will be charged about Rs. 50-100 for it. Once you earn back some money, you can withdraw in to your bank account and give them back the money. This is what I did when i started. Now I regularly use my verified PayPal account. A friend can also help you out with a credit card if he or she is close enough to you. This is because this credit card may be used at any moment with your PayPal account. Hope this helps.
Request your father to get a credit card and then....you can get an 'add-on' card in your name on your father's card. Regards, RightMan
Because in my bank they ask for a income proof before i can get a credit card. I have no such proof except my paypal transfered payment.
And what if my fathers doesn't agrees on giving me an addon CC ? Then, what will i do?? He won't even gv me his debit card. - Digital -
Yeesh.....My dad doesnt trust me with a card. Donno why....Also i will need access to his card statement.
Indians do not have the liberty to use either a debit card or the bank account for verification! If your father is worried of your heavy spending capabilities, you can assure him the physical custody of both the cards... with him, coupled with an assurance that you would not use it anywhere except for verification purpose! Regards, RightMan
You can get your father's or mothers card to get it activated. But if you expecting only small transactions i do not think authorization would matter much.
In our days paypal really sucks.I had a lot of problems with paypal.They blocked my accounts when they want with no good reason.It`s really irritating.
The only way is use a CC supplementary card. After you verified it,then ask your parent to cancel the card for you.
After doing paypal's verification using a CC and then subsequently canceling that CC, Can I use VCC (from kotak bank), for other regular purchase /s ? Are there options other than PayPal that I can use ?? (for Indians) - PK.
Sorry about your problem dude, you can follow 'lostpoet' advices or consider using a VCC (Virtual Credit Card) to complete the verification process.. But there is no other way to do it
Hmmm.. Instead of you using the card for verification purpose, ask your father to do the verification for you. You sit beside him and guide him through the process, he will himself enter the details of the card and in this way, he will not be afraid of you misusing the card. When the next statement comes, instead of you accessing his statement, ask him to give you the verification number from the statement. Problem Solved
