Hello,

Im trying to check out in target with paypal but I keep getting the error message "Your PayPal account is missing a payment method. Please add a card to continue." I already have two credit cards linked and have made big purchases with one of them with no issue. Just wondering what this is about.

 

Thanks

@eduardopy1 I hope you are doing good. There could be several different reasons you're seeing a decline error message or your payment won't go through. I attached a link including some trouble shooting steps that may help fixing it. https://www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/article/why-was-my-payment-declined-troubleshooting-tips-faq3039... Stay Safe!

This is not the solution. There appears to be some bug with paypal. It could one of two things. The wallet isn't retaining the CC number. And, the preferred payment defaults may be causing an issue. Either way paypal needs to get their analysts to look at this. I've got one card on file that isn't appearing as well. Despite using it last month. So everyone avoid paypal for now.
