Title: Virwox - Buying using Paypal ?
Post by: OmegaStarScream on December 28, 2015, 08:45:21 AM
Last time I used Virwox.com I was able to use Paypal to buy Bitcoins however I can't seem be able to or at least there is something wrong going on here .
How come that Virwox ask me to pay using one of Credit cards linked to PP account while I have balance on my Paypal account ? why I can't pay directly ?

Does anyone have an idea about this please ? I'm looking to buy few bitcoins from them and I can't seem to understand why it's not working now since it used to work .

Have you reached your limit for the month/day?

Definitely not , I only used it probably once to buy a couple of bucks , beside my account is level III so it need more then that .. a lot more then that to reach the limits .
It's that it doesn't let me buy , it just that it gives me option to buy using the cards linked to my paypal account instead of the Paypal balance it self (where I have the money) .

Try disconnecting your credit card with your paypal, then reconnect afterwards?

This is just a guess but sometimes they do that as an added security precaution. Virwox could charge PayPal with an eCheck and if you don't have a balance; it will bounce the check a week later. The CC would be a backup in that situation.

I've bought using Skrill/Moneybookers recently through Virwox though without any issues

I didn't try disconnecting the credit cards because it's from E-coin (Visa) and now E-coin only support MasterCard so I'm afraid if I do I will have issues on getting my Paypal verified once again .

I just checked my email and I'm not sure if it has something to do with my issue but here :

That was when I received the payment from someone , I suppose that's why ? but it says it will stay in pending , where I'm supposed to see my Pending balance in Paypal ? is it at least visible ? because when I login I see the balance where I always do on the available balance .
