I have to pay for an item I won on eBay.

I have my debit card linked to Paypal and it has been working fine so far. The funds are from my bank account.


But I'm getting this error: This card cannot be used for this transaction. You can complete the checkout with another debit or credit card. Please enter your new card information below.

Is it because I have insufficient funds in my bank account? I'm not sure, but after currency conversion, I should have more than enough to pay for the item.

Has anyone else encountered this before? My account is verified, and so is my card. I suspect this to be the case because I remember trying to pay for an item which converted to about RM110 with RM111 in my bank account, but it gave the same error message till I put in another RM10.


This one here is different though - I should still have hundreds left after the payment.

I dont know if this is the same problem with you, but a few weeks back i tried buying using paypal linked to maybank debit, the total costs is around rm1k, i got the error message
"This card cannot be used for this transaction. You can complete the checkout with another debit or credit card. Please enter your new card information below."
obviously i checked my account and i have more then rm1k, so i called up Maybank, the reason was my max online shopping is rm500, so the operator told me to go to ATM and increase my limit, maybe you should check your spending limit, hope this solves your problem

Thinking about it, that might be the cause actually...

I think I'll drop by an ATM later to check. Thanks for the input!

u convert base on maybank rate or website currency converter?

RM 1 is too little buffer for maybe extra 0.5% admin fee or whatsoever fee

Problem solved. Changed my limits and everything went fine.

Thanks for the help!
