Adding debit card to PayPal account

LatecomerX SG

I have just got my UOB TX debit card a few days ago. The acknowledgement slip is sent as well. But when I tried to add the card to my PayPal account, it gave me this 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.

I have googled this a few days ago and saw a topic about another user experiencing the same problem. But the bank pushed the blame to PayPal and PayPal did the same, back and forth. Any idea what to do about this? And can anyone who has successfully added a UOB debit card to their PayPal account share your experience here?

PS.
I just did another google search and out of the two relevant pages, two were posted by UOB debit card users. Mad

wrong. i'm using the uob tx debit as well. it a full fledged visa. supports online offline whateverother-line transaction u can think of.

the last time i checked, it's the posb go! master debit card that does not support online transactions -.-

and i have both of the above-mentioned cards. unless new cards haf a different transaction policy? but that would be stupid -.-

pls dont post false info. at least put "i think" in front if u're nt sure.

Vigelic SG

eh. do wad xcert says. go out and buy some stuff or eat a meal and pay by visa thru ur uob tx card first. if that goes through (wait a few more working days up to a week after u pay for the floating amount to clear), then try with paypal again.
