PayPal Debit Card?

[jen6889]

Can you not use the PayPal Debit Card online? I tried a couple of times and it would not go through. At first, I thought maybe, since it was a new card, they were being slow to activate it, but it went through fine when I got gas the other day.
I tried to find something on PayPal's site that would tell me if there are any restrictions on this or not, but can't find anything about it anywhere.

I use my card online all the time. I know you have to have enough money in your paypal account to cover the charge. Some companies also place a hold of a higher amount against the card and that could be messing it up.
Sorry I can't be more helpful. Hopefully PayPalDamon will be here soon to help out!

I had a little bit over $30 in my account and I tried a couple of times to pay $20 to my seller account at Ebay (a few days apart) and they wouldn't accept the card. The reasons they (ebay) suggested was that:

1) The card wasn't activated (which it was suppose to have been)

2) No funds (which there was)

and

3) The card isn't approved for online use. So I figured that must have been what it was.

Hmm... if you use it online all the time, I wonder what happened?

Maybe they were slow at activating it? I received it and activated it last Saturday (not this past Saturday, but the one before ), waited until Monday to use the card, tried twice with no luck. Then I tried again either Tuesday or Wednesday and still didn't work. But I had a spur of the moment "Let's see if this works" thing at the Gas Station on Friday and paid with my card instead of the cash and it went through no problems.


Thanks for responding Diane! Hopefully PayPalDamon will have a possible reason for this. My curiousity is going now!
