I keep trying to send money through PayPal. I have no money in it. I do, however, have a credit card signed to that account. Everytime I try and send money it gives me this error: This payment cannot be funded with your credit card... WTF MATE! I am getting ticked off by this bloody nonsense.

Anyone with help? I would appreciate it!

Thanks mates!
 
I have used the service exactly once, and that went quite well. Perhaps if I were more active in e-commerce...
 
Ah well, as little as my knowledge is about PayPal i would likely suggest to you to first seek your help from the PayPal help section, however it seems that would be completely useless, alternatively i would suggest contacting them about this by clicking the "contact us" link in the help section. Another option would be to verifiy your PayPal account before attempting to send money without putting money into your account, even further you may attempt to "charge" your PayPal account with your credit card or from your bank account and then proceeding with your purchase from there. If none of that works it may be in your best interest to contact the professionals at PayPal via the "Contact Us" section i mentioned previous.




God F*cking Damn I wonder how i even knew all of that despite only using PayPal once. Geuss what Bitches? I work at eBay and some PayPal offices are in the same building and it's SO HARD not to let them rub off on you. :hmph:
 
Yea, I've been trying to use PayPal to buy headphones off of Newegg for like a month now. Finally, I had to use a CC to get it going.
 
i've had no problems with paypal, cept getting verified with my first account but that was somewhat my fault.
 
I have just went through about 5 days of hell with PayPal. I open the account at the end of last week thinking its going to be so easy to use it.. Instead it becomes a whore.

So here goes my rant about PayPal...

I put in my credit card number and what not.. I click the send money, type in the user's address and everything, and click send money. Then I thought it went through until I read the top of the screen which so clearly stated that I couldn't use my credit card as a funding option.. I was like what the bloody hell.. So I think nothing of it and figure I must of had an option set up wrong or something.. I ask for help from a few of my friends, and they of course have no idea why PayPal is doing that.. At this point, I stopped caring for my purchase. It was just the fact I couldn't use the card.

A couple days pass with me attempting to figure out the problem and failing.. I then decide, "What the hell, lets try customer service!" Thinking they could actually serve me up a little bit of help.. I call and of course I have to go through 10 minutes of me talking to a computer.. Then I have to wait an extra 5 or so minutes till I actually recieved a person. They ask whats the problem. I tell them abruptly.. This person then has the fortitude to tell me that I can't use a credit card to pay. I am like why. They say because its too unsafe and blah, blah, mother ****ing blah.. So I am like, "You realize this is my only way of paying for this." They end up saying sorry, sorry, I am so sorry. Then I am like whatever and hang up..

I will be sure never to use PayPal ever again. They can suck on my cock.. Those dirty ****ing bums.

/end rant
 
I got this shitty site to accept my card finally.

Well that lasted a long time...
 
I think you can only use credit cards as a secondary form of payment. I have never had a problem with it, but I have a bank account attached, so I can do instant transfers. It lets me use my CC but I have to have a backup option. Its so easy to use, paypal roxxors my soxxors.

Actually, it wasn't even that. I entered everything in correctly. I recreated my account and deleted the card of the other one and added it to the new one. This time something opened saying that I was allowed to verify/register my card and/or use it. That was the first time I ever saw the screen. I don't know how I fixed it, but I did. :|
