I tried to re-subscribe to PF this morning, and PayPal won't accept my credit card. Can't figure out why, for the life of me. Help!

I don't have a PayPal account. I used a link to Greg's account to pay directly with a CC. I have been doing that in the past and it always worked fine, using the same CC.AlephZero said:@Turbo, have you logged onto the Paypal site directly (https:whatever-it-is) to check your account details and if you have any messages?.
PayPal is a complex system that involves multiple parties, such as buyers, sellers, and financial institutions. Sometimes, technical issues or human error can occur, leading to problems with transactions or account access.
If you are experiencing issues with your PayPal account, the first step is to check for any updates or maintenance notifications on the PayPal website. If there are no reported issues, you can try clearing your browser's cache and cookies, or using a different browser. If the issue persists, you can contact PayPal's customer support for assistance.
There are a few reasons why a PayPal payment may be declined, such as insufficient funds in your account, incorrect card or bank information, or a security issue. It is best to double-check your account and payment details before attempting the transaction again.
To protect your PayPal account from fraud, it is important to use a strong and unique password, enable two-factor authentication, and regularly monitor your account for any unauthorized activity. You should also be cautious when clicking on links or entering personal information on unfamiliar websites that claim to be PayPal.
Yes, you can still use PayPal without a bank account or credit card by linking it to a prepaid debit card or adding funds to your PayPal account through alternative methods, such as cash at certain retail locations. However, some features may be limited without a linked bank account or credit card.
