hello I'm in Cameroon, And I have finish to create my account since few minutes, but when I want to link my PayPal account to my UBA debit card, it shows me errors like: "Right now, we're not able to complete this transaction" or "Link another card, we could not link this one"
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 Cameroon. 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.
Advice is voluntary. Kudos / Solution appreciated.
Im also getting this error. I have a VISA debit card that was added to my account with no problems. When it expired and I tried to add the replacement card number, I get this message. Pls help.

I already contacted support many times and they could not add the card either due to “security reasons”. What is this reason? This is just a replacement card of an old one that was added to the system and expired. It seems noone can help me and I need to add this card to withdraw my funds in USD not PHP. Pls help me.
