Hi!

When I want to add my maestro card to my Paypal account, I get the error message, that the card number I typed is not correct. I am sure, I typed in correct number. Does anybody know, what is wrong?

Thanks
 
Re: Maestro card problem

Just logged into my account and it looks like the only cards that they deal with are VISA, MasterCard, 3V and American Express! Are you sure that they take Maestro?
 
Re: Maestro card problem

yes, maestro is owned by mastercard

Re: Maestro card problem

Try Wirecard www.wirecard.com.
Is a Internet based Mastercard via Wirecard Bank in Germany. No plastic card thou for Irish residents, just for Internet use. It will work with Paypal and Ebay etc
 
By the way, I've had problems using Paypal with Firefox; have had to use Explorer instead.
 
PayPal in Ireland is useless with limited funding options. At least PayPal in the UK accepts various debit cards making it slightly more useful.

In short PP IE don't take Maestro.

I wonder why? Technical reasons or just PP nonsense reasons to do with ability to chargeback?

I'm just as baffled as to why Ryanair doesn't take Laser.....(Aer Lingus does).
