PayPal problems with 3D Secure Verified by Visa Credit Card

    Hey,

    I just bought a HDFC netsafe card - (ICICI instant card activation along the way).
    However, when I try to pay an invoice in my PayPal account, it's still giving me a 'transaction could not be completed' error.

    Could it be because of the 3D secure password thing? Is it something that the merchant needs to enable etc?

    Thanks a lot guys
    Cheers

    PS. I'm trying to pay someone in Australia in USD.

    I personally know one of my colleague got banned when he used HDFC netsafe card in one scenario. Here it is:
    1. Given His Name (PR Garapati ) (I changed actual name here)
    2. Generated netsafe and used PayPal
    3. Cahnged name to (Phani Raju Garapati) (HDFC has facility to change name.
    4. Generated VCC used in PayPal.
    5. End of the story. He is limited and he is still struggling.
    * Some times netsafe was not worked for him. Few times it worked (This happened after Verified by Visa).
    I am not saying this would happen to all. But I am sure its a mere luck I observed.

    Hey MrTm,

    I can definitely relate to what you're saying - although I didn't get my account suspended but it did get limited for 2-3 days.

    Hope there is atleast some way for us Indians (except Entropay - they banned me for loading a big amount :confused:) to send money across through PayPal. :(

    I was seeing many -ve posts on Entropay. Have you got your money back? Atleast PayPal don't take (scam) money I believe.

    the problem is some time caused of your own suspected transactions, not the way you verify your account

    Maybe that's what is happening. But how can I then make any transaction? Already tried splitting the amount into small chunks, used different credit cards of different companies etc - but still no luck :(

    Looks like they are not functioning. I just observed a note and found dollar to INR rate as 45.**. But now its 50+.
