PayPal Acct not letting donate small pennies

[Vishal Hegde]

Dear Ranchers,

PayPay is not allowing me to do a donation for Javaranch.I just wanted to know whether Other Indian Users are also facing this issue. I got this error, Card Issuer rejected your request

[Arun Giridharan]

No , it works fine for me.

Hi Arun,

Which Card are you using??

[Maneesh Godbole]

I think this is a PAN validation issue and not card related. In my account, I have specified the correct PAN number (triple checked) and it is still pending validation so my account access is limited. This has been going on for last 3 months and I have stopped using Paypal.

Make sure the card is active and the details are correct. It more looks problem between the bank and paypal rather than paypal and javaranch.

I got to know whats the issue Debit Cards are not accepted by Paypal and I need to create a Credit Card for the same :O

I dont get time to run around banks and apply for Credit Cards....

Dear Ranchers,

Please provide an alternative way so that the Indian Ranchers can donate from their debit Card too

In my experience the issue is not the debit card. I have a paypal account which is mapped to my bank account via my debit card. It used to work just fine. Then Paypal asked for the PAN number which I provided. The bottle neck is getting the PAN number validated from Indian Income Tax Dept/RBI. Until that is fixed, my Paypal account remains limited. I have had multiple correspondence (like a dozen) in the past with paypal regarding this. After this last reply, I have given up.

I understand your frustration, since the PAN validation has been in progress for quite awhile.
Given this, I have included your account to our high priority list.
Before, the PayPal system has allowed entry of PANs to Indian PayPal accounts without passing through any authentication flow or validation process.
We are now required by the RBI to validate this information through a third party entity or bank.
Allow me to inform that, due to an unexpected increase in the number of Indian PayPal accounts that have to undergo PAN validation, the estimated timeframe of 24 to 72 hours no longer applies. For this I sincerely regret the inconvenience caused to you.
We have been actively raising these concerns to the proper channels and we have yet to receive their response. Nonetheless, rest assured: as soon as we are able to validate your PAN, the limitations on your account will be lifted and we will notify you immediately.

This is dated 1 Dec 2011 and no peep out of Paypal after that. I am not holding my breath. I just took my business to google checkout.

Will a Vitrual Card or NetSafe card work?

Hi Maneesh,

I am getting the below error

"This credit card has been denied by the bank that issued your credit card. For details on why your card was denied, please contact your credit card issuer's customer service department. Or, you may want to try adding a different credit card."


and its with the Card itself

I kind of understood what might be the problem , may be your debit card is not accepted through Online , same thing happened for me with UCO Bank (2 years ago).
