Hi. I have a PayPal India account and I cannot receive payments. When someone tried to send me a payment through my email address, he got an error like (not fully accurate): "Sorry, but the recipient cannot receive payments right now." PayPal promises you just need an email account to receive money. They'll ping you an email and you just have to confirm your email address (aka make a PayPal account, perhaps?) to receive your money. But then why I, having an account with a linked bank account, PAN, etc., cannot receive payment? I do not have a linked credit card, which I think is causing the problem. Is it really so? Getting a credit card isn't very easy here. All my cards which are accepted worldwide, stamped VISA, and fully authenticated, are simply NOT accepted by PayPal. Like SBI Global card, which is verified by VISA. I'm beginning my content writing service so there are a lot of people who'll need to send me money. So please help me with this. In my resoultion center, I have two cases: Confirm your Credit Card and Cofirm your Address Proof. I can easily do the address proof thing, but I never added any credit card that PayPal wants me to confirm. Now suppose I: 1. Confim my address, 2. Remove the mistakenly added credit card details, then: Will I be able to receive payments? Or a credit card is absolutely necessary? If it is, then is there any resource on PayPal documentation where I can find a list of accepted credit or debit cards that will enable me to receive payments? Remember, I don't need online shopping, sending payments, etc. So don't go into too much details. Kindly propose me the shortest way to be eligible to receive money. Even if the above mentioned limits remain, it's okay.
