If your credit/debit card is being rejected by PayPal with the message "The card you entered cannot be used for this payment. Please enter a different credit or debit card number." it might be due to one of the following reasons:

  1. Your card is associated with a specific PayPal account, and you're not logging in with that particular account.
  2. Your card was associated with a PayPal account that has since been closed.
  3. You've linked the card to a PayPal account, but have not yet confirmed it.
  4. You've exceeded your card limit with the PayPal system.
  5. Your email address is raising a red flag in PayPal's system.
  6. Your browser is not accepting cookies. You should clear any existing cookies and try again.
