how do I activate my debit card? Why is it not working on paypal?

Question

My debit card is Master Card (there is a logo) and the only reason i applied for it is paypal (I live in the Philippines)..

When I first got it, I was told to activate it, and changing the given pin to my chosen pin. I did that with the help of a friend, and we even got receipts. Also, we tried it for the second time and my new pin worked for it.

But take note, I still have not put in money in it.. the only balance left is the minimum, but I asked and told me just swipe it and change the pin and it will be activated.

But how come my paypal won't verify it?? Am I doing something wrong?

I use Security Bank Cashlink Plus debit card (Philippines) btw

I called the bank yesterday (Friday) and told me that my account is still not verified and want me to wait until tomorrow. And it's already "tomorrow' (Saturday) and it sucks I cant contact them :(

I really need to verify my paypal as ebay won't let me contact the seller of the item I want.

Answer 1

You have to transfer money from your bank account into your PayPal account. Try to transfer a small amount then you will know if your accounts are working.

You have to have your accounts online...otherwise you can't transfer money. It's easy so check with your bank.

Answer 3

A debit master card works like credit. Have a look in the accepted cards on paypal otherwise, cards can usually be activated by purchasing something or using an atm.

Answer 4

I use that set up for ebay. I used it as a credit card. Thats good because I can place a stop order if I like and the security is better.

Answer 5

Did you call PayPal and ask THEM, your question? You should not provide too much information when you are online like this.

Answer 6

Try putting the money in your account.

Answer 7

Pay pal does not accept debit cards
Only "Credit Cards"
