Hey, I am living in Saint Lucia and I recently signed up for PayPal. Looking at their "Get To Know PayPal" tab I see that my country is listed to receive funds but when I do try and enter my card I get this error message: The Visa card you selected is not eligible for withdrawing funds. Please use another card or contact the card issuer I find this strange seeing that I am with a Canadian Bank, Scotiabank, who has a branch in my country. Can somebody please help me out I was thinking about using either moneybookers or AlertPay but I am using some advertising companies for my site and they only use PayPal to pay their customers. Can someone please help!!!
it will be better if you ask the bank of the credit card issued, they probably can tell you the reason and what shall do
it has even happened to me... I tried putting in my credit card a lot of times but it didn't accepted and always gave me the same error.. PP support wasn't even helpful.. So now i am trying to get a new CC from another bank
Have you tried getting a virtual visa card? There are several websites that offer them and with quite a lot of them you can send cash from your paypal just like a bank account.
Never heard of that...how can I get one? Do I absolutely need to keep the credit/debit card on my account after I verified my account to receive funds? I mean can I just use someone else card and remove it later on and still receive funds.
You can get a virtual visa from loads of different places online. Just google "Online virtual visa". I've used these guys more than once and they seemed OK. I'm pretty sure paypal can get a bit iffy about you using someones visa other than your own but I could be wrong. Been a long time since I had to verify one.
