This is the message I get when I try to add my CC to my account... "Before you can add this credit card to another account, you must contact the PayPal Credit Card Team at . A customer service representative will respond to your request shortly. If you would rather add a different credit card to your PayPal account, you may do so at any time. Thank you for your cooperation." Also I sent a email to the 2 days ago and still did not get a reply yet.
Might be some sort of security question they want to ask you - maybe they want the card security code to prove you actually own the card instead of getting the number from a shop receipt etc. Just a suggestion.
Hmm the problem is You might have used a Card which is already used on paypal... So the problem is arising.. If u used the Card before on paypal.. u can't use it again.. Also if u added or Tried to add Visa or Mastercard 2-3 times and failed then they ask for other type of Card (like american express) So i guess that is the problem.. Also do not enter a Debit card.. If u have a BANK account... And if the bank provided u a debit card than it is fien..
