Hello I have a Bobcard credit card, I want to pay for books through paypal but when i try to pay paypal gives me msg "PayPal could not validate the card" My card is working fine and i have payed many bills to Indian company. I am getting problem paying internationally. When i called the Bobcard customer care they said that an authentication code is required for any transaction. I dont find any place to enter authentication code in paypal.. But when I paid to an Indian company online they asked me the VBV code. I dont know where to enter that code in paypal and because of that my card gets declined. Please help me in this matter
I am having same problem with google checkout and just now i got a mail for them An attempt to charge your credit/debit card for $25.00 was declined on 2011-08-17 because the bank that issued your card declined the transaction. To ensure the privacy and security of your personal information, banks do not disclose details of credit card declines to third parties, such as Google Checkout. For more information about why your card was declined, we recommend contacting your card-issuing bank representative.
Is this problem common to Indians? Because the person from Bobcards helpline said that according to RBI norms it is compulsory to give the authentication code.
It's not common for all. My card is working fine. It'll asks for authentication code only when you pay through credit card processing gateway. If you use at some places like Godaddy, PayPal etc., it wont ask you for authentication code. Every Visa/Master Card CC's can be used at PayPal. There is problem with your Credit Card Provider and so contact your Credit Card Main Division again (Don't contact local branch office) and try to fix this issue. PayPal not supported in Pakistan.
I have contacted their head office at Mumbai they said that there is some problem with paypal as well as google checkout, they were not able to tell what was the problem. Does anyone else has a bobcard here, can you please tell me does your bobcard is giving the same problem???
First of all, is the Bobcard is a credit card? visa or mastercard? Unlike indian companies, who process credit card, Paypal does not require entering 3d secure or VBV code because they use PCI complaint gateway to directly charge your credit card. First register your vbv/3d secure code with bank website and then try with paypal.
