Paypal Debit Card PIN problems... - GoFuckYourself.com

xenigo · 12-06-2006, 12:55 AM

Tried an ATM 3 times with the wrong pin. Went back home, changed the PIN to something I knew. Went back to the same ATM, entered the new PIN, and it said "Unauthorized Access" and spit my card back out.

Did I exceed the limit of tries for that particular ATM machine? Or did I exceed the amount of tries for the card itself? I know by the 4th try, I got the PIN correct.

Most likely banned for a time period. What happens when you login to Paypal and check the debit card. Any info there?

As I expected, the website said nothing useful. I tried calling their support number and it says it's "after hours". Funny, I didn't think the world economy had set business hours.

I wish the damn ATM would give more information than such a vague error message.

Paypal will lock your account after a single unseccessful transaction.

Once I tried to draw $500.00 because that is the daily limit on my bank debit card. Paypal has a $400.00 limit on ATM's per day so they locked my account.

I called them and it was worked out much faster than asking GFY.

Shit happens.

That pretty much answers my question then, Aaron. Their offices are closed at the moment. I guess I'll have them re-set my card in the morning.

What's new with you lately?
