Hi guys. I just wanted to verify my PayPal account using a Visa card. I added all the info but when I click Continue, I get this error: 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. I have to say that the card is very new. Is this a problem ? If no, what's the real problem ?
I think that your card is still invalid, try to validate your card. If you just verify today, you may not be able to use it until tomorrow. If you still can't verify your account on tomorrow, try to call the bank or paypal.
I had that same problem about 2 years ago when Had to pay someone, it took me weeks to resolve it but I can't remember how i fixed it though... When you say very new, you mean as in less than 3 months?... Maybe you should wait at least until you get your first statement in and make sure you have at least £10 in your balance...you get a letter through you door and you put in the amounts they took off the card...Enter the amount correctly and that verifies the account
@leonhang What do you mean invalid ? How to validate it ? @TheRealMcCoy: The card is 3 days old . I have 100 $ in my PP account, and about 30 $ in my bank account.
It is not "invalid" it is just not getting recognized when paypal validates with your bank. If you call Paypal they will say we cant do the bank doesnt accept the charge but if your bank complains to Paypal then your account will be locked out immediately - very careful there
I think these guys a right, 3 days old probably needs more time... I would do myself a favor if i was you and just stayed well clear of pay pal altogether, Only use it as last resort or if you can't use anything else...Don't let your account fill up over £2000 - £5000 within 2 weeks and always make frequent transfers to you bank account because paypal have a terrible habit of freezing accounts for no reason and you won't see that money again for months, if at all! can't accept payment, can't make payment...nothing! I personally recommended powerpay (www.powerpay.biz)
Well I think that the problem is the Visa. I have a friend that get a Visa card too, in the same day with me, and he tried to use it on iPhone site and he gets error too.
Yes, you should confirm with the issuing bank if you can use your card for online transactions, as you have said your card is quite new.
I agree with leonhang, Because I have the same problem as you... Just wait,You can use visa to verify ur paypal for sure
As I know, most of shopping websites support Visa Card. Why don't you use it to pay? Well, it is just a temporary method since you are in hurry
Huh? Visa card=Debit Card?? There is no need to use vcc.. I think he can use this card to verify his paypal for sure...
For Uncertain reason ,I think you need to wait your card statement about what is going on to your card,yes verifying the card with paypal is sometimes is important ,Yet to get it I think it is unnecessary for you to use your "main card"perhaps you can try "virtual credit card from epayarea to get better card
