Based on the first post I sent concerning about typing my Dad's credit card number, does this mean that I can no longer use his card in making purchases on the Internet. BTW, when will Paypal be available to people in the Philippines? Please let me know more about this. Thanks!!!
The Phillipines is not approved for service at this time and I am sorry I don't have an expected date.
You should have received an email with instructions on what to do if the card was rejected. You would need to follow the instructions in the email, but it will require the documentation requested to have it resolved. That is our manual process for cards that do not pass the screening process.
