RE: Why is PayPal Debit Declining Coinbase Purchases?

in #coinbase7 years ago

Paypal doesnt condone crypto i believe... You can purchase crypto from 3rd parties aka from me to you but like from sites like coinbase... nah.
I had the sam eissue with my bank (wellsfargo) I had to call them and let them know it was me who was buying the stuff.. they just went thru procedures making sure i was the cardholder and that i made past recent purchases. Just get a blue bird card? Load it up with cash :)

Sort:  

I wondered if using a bank card would be better, but I guess not. It's weird because Coinbase makes a small withdrawal that you have to verify -- just like PayPal did when I first verified my account. Plus, I figured since Coinbase was in the US, they'd be fine with it. I guess PayPal may see them as eventual competition.

How would the Blue Bird card help?

Because it's not paypal... lol thats why xD
Paypal hates crypto lol.
I use my bank card lol. Paypal just hates crypto.

Gotcha. It's funny because it seems like Coinbase is trying to become the PayPal of crypto. Of course, I guess that's a problem for PayPal.

Yes coinbase is huge when it comes to buying crypto :)
You can try paxful if you wish to buy with paypal... but it has some fees.
Thats how i started tili moved to coinbase
