Get a real credit card and attach it. The problem is in debit card. PP has already updated the supported cards.
Indian paypal users are restricted from the following cant use paypal funds to pay others You can't pay indian users if you are also from india And there's no chance to add funds to your paypal from you bank account exception when you have a claim and your funds are negative you can use your credit card to remove the neg bal..
Did you by chance reach the yearly limit? Here in europe it's 2500 euro and once you reach it you have to provide some documents to verify that you are legit and not laundering money.
thank u all for the answers is there an alternate site we can trust? with a faster bank transfer?(paypal takes lots of time for transfer over here ) i don't have a credit card ,have a debit card were to check the yearly limit?
First of all Paypal is near to Useless for a guy without credit card in India.Indian can't add money directly from the bank.As per the RBI guidelines applicable from March 2011, an Indian Paypal member cannot keep the balance in Paypal account also. "Automated Daily Withdrawal System" has been introduced which means the balance at the end of the day will be transferred to your Indian bank account. There are in several forums, people discussed about using payza,entropay,bank generated VCCs,Liberty reserve bank account,2checkout, moneybookers.com,Payoneer,Western Union,escrow.com,to join it with paypal for buying online.I haven't used it though.What i used is, i invested some fixed amount (offer only for above 25k investments) in city bank and i got a CC upto the 80% of fixed deposit. So that i'd use my credit card for paying with paypal. If you have any trouble please file a request here,they might take it into consideration https://www.paypal.com/in/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_contact-general If i am not wrong then there is no alternative for international purchase than Paypal for Indians, Unfortunately.
