Title: [solved]Unable to buy store credits with a debit gift card.
Post by: cookiesofamerica on December 24, 2012, 07:23:29 PM

I had 15 bucks on the gift card and I was hoping to buy 500 credits with pay pal, however It wasn't able to verify it with the card. What should I do in order to have paypal to accept it.

Paypal will not authorize gift cards anymore. I had the same problem that you have.

I believe the payment goes to the US, so are you living in the US? If not, is your card able to do international purchases? Is the card activated?

Yes I live in the united states. And the cards are activated. On paypal it says  the card is not verified with the billing information
