Somehow I can't pay with PayPal. I would like to order a PS4, but every time I'm forwarded to PayPal I have to specify a bank account or credit card, although my account is already confirmed there, etc. Also, the direct debit mandate has been confirmed / activated. Also the transfer with the confirmation code for the account was made. So why can't I pay with this card?
Or, as it is a longer-term financing, the money must be recovered through direct debit.
This question you should ask the support of Paypal.
If your bank account is already verified in your Paypal account, then this message means that Paypal is also asking you to enter your credit card.
This is a common security measure of Paypal…
► to ensure payment
► to filter out minors
I do not have a credit card. And no it is not explicitly asked for a credit card but an account or even credit card. I can't imagine that you want both credit card and bank account. If that is not the days now I have to contact the customer support.
Even if you can't imagine that, that's still the case.
It happens so often that people order something even though they do not have enough money on their bank account and then Paypal has to run after the money.
Deshallb they ask for many customers a credit card, because then Paypal gets his money safely.
Well and how can I still use Paypal without a credit card? I mean, I have to go without it… I hardly know anyone who owns a credit card. But most still pay via PayPal.
Or even credit card.
That's the way it is.
And it does not matter if you can imagine it or not:
Either you deposit a credit card or you can no longer use PayPal.
"I mean, I have to go without it." What you mean, Paypal does not care.
Paypal has its own internal security mechanisms and it decides which customer and which payment accepts which payment method and which does not.
If Paypal denies you, with this order, direct debit and requires a credit card, then that's the case, whether you like it or not.
