You can't add a local bank account / and rarely a debit card in your country.
You can only link a visa credit card.

Also the option to receive Paypal payments is sadly not available in Nigeria.
You can only send payments for purchases funded by your (confirmed) credit card.

Paypal varies a lot country to country and can only offer the services that the banks / governments of that country allow it to offer.
There are quite a few countries unable to receive Paypal payments.

The querent asked about 'Credit Card' and said he or she was unable to connect their 'credit card' - I don't think your response appreciates their issue.

Yes that's true, however I think the querent is actually having issues linking their 'Credit' cards. This suggests more than one. You've said that only a Visa Credit card is linkable.. I believe that would be one of the cards the person is having issues with. 

 

Regardless, I came to this thread because I do have a Visa credit card and i'm unable to link it, hence a smidgen of frustration. I also have a Mastercard and can link that, can send money from it but CANT pay for anything with it.

 

Thank you all the same for your efforts. If you do know or can think of any reasons why the system seems so broken relative to that geographical destination, that would be much appreciated.

They said that they had an issue linking a credit card, I responded in bold that it has to be a VISA credit card.

If it was a mastercard credit card they were trying to add it would not work.

 

As for your query paypal varies a lot country to country but as you have not said which country you are in OR added it to your paypal community profile then would not be able to advise.

 

However as you have already criticized the advice given to the original poster from Nigeria then I suggest you ask someone else.

Interesting,

You suggest that I read what you’ve written but you seem unwilling to extend the same courtesy  to me or even to the OP.


A) The OP said credit cards were not working - Credit Card(S) Plural - Hence I said that Visa was almost certainly ONE of the cards they were having trouble linking. Your repeating 'ONLY VISA ALLOWED' doesn’t seem to take that into account, which is what I initially mentioned.

 

B) No I have not said which country specifically, but hey if you read my post you’d see me write ‘’Regardless, I came to this thread because I do have a Visa credit card and i'm unable to link it,’’

Which in light of what you said to the OP about their country only accepting the VISA card might be a hint… you know, because I’m reading and replying after you, that your VISA card suggestion as given, has not worked.

 

Or how about later where I write…


‘’If you do know or can think of any reasons why the system seems so broken relative to that geographical destination that would be much appreciated.’’

Which I think should really close the issue as to ‘which country’?


C) In the time since first writing I have in fact managed to link my Nigerian Mastercard to my Paypal. So there’s that. When taken with you then telling me I’ve criticised the advice (constructively and accurately I might add) it renders you not merely touchy and somewhat presumptuous, but also in fact, just wrong. So thank you I suppose for the suggestion to take any queries to more gracious and useful Advisors.

 

All the best.

Can't be visa credit cards they are having an issue with as they can add those !!!

 

If you don't say which country you are in then regardless of what you are asking we can't advise.

 

You may be in a country that can't accept visa but can accept the opposite of a mastercard so without that information then it doesn't matter how many times you state credit visa it does not help without your country.

 

Good luck with your Nigerian mastercard as its unlikely you can confirm it and use it correctly but  🤷
