A few things are worth checking before you try:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Card network and issuer:<\/strong> PayPal supports major networks such as Visa and Mastercard, but individual issuers may restrict certain transactions.<\/li>\n
- Online payment settings:<\/strong> The card must be active and enabled for online transactions.<\/li>\n
- Billing information:<\/strong> The address entered in PayPal should match the information registered with the card issuer.<\/li>\n
- Account region:<\/strong> Available card types and payment features vary by country or region.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Have your card number, expiration date, CVV, and billing information ready. It's also a good idea to keep enough funds available to cover any temporary authorization or verification charge.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nHow to Prepare a BUVEI Virtual Card<\/h2>\n
Before adding a card to PayPal, you'll need an active virtual card with sufficient funds.<\/p>\n
Step 1: Register a BUVEI Account<\/h3>\n
Visit BUVEI<\/a> and create a free account using your email address.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/wordpress.buvei.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/2-2.jpg\")
<\/p>\nComplete the email verification process, then sign in to access your dashboard. From there, you can manage your wallet and virtual cards.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nStep 2: Top Up Your BUVEI Wallet<\/h3>\n
Open the Wallet<\/strong> section and select USDT as your deposit currency.<\/p>\n
Choose an available network, such as TRC20 or ERC20, and copy the corresponding deposit address. Transfer your USDT using the same network selected in BUVEI.<\/p>\n
Once the transaction is confirmed, your wallet balance will update.<\/p>\n
Double-check the deposit address and network before sending funds. TRC20 and ERC20 are different networks, and using an incompatible network can result in a failed or unrecoverable transfer.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nStep 3: Issue a BUVEI Virtual Card<\/h3>\n
Go to Cards<\/strong> and choose an available BIN region and card type.<\/p>\n
BUVEI offers virtual Visa and Mastercard cards with multiple BIN options. Choose the option that suits your intended payment use.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/wordpress.buvei.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/4-2.jpg\")
<\/p>\nEnter the card name, amount, and number of cards you want to issue, then click Issue Card<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/wordpress.buvei.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/6-3.jpg\")
<\/p>\nOnce the card is created, open My Cards<\/strong> to view its number, expiration date, and CVV. You'll need these details when adding the card to PayPal.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/wordpress.buvei.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/8-3.jpg\")
<\/p>\nHow to Link a Virtual Card to PayPal<\/h2>\n
With your virtual card ready, you can add it to your PayPal account through the Wallet section.<\/p>\n
Step 4: Add Your Virtual Card to PayPal Wallet<\/h3>\n
Sign in to PayPal and open Wallet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Select Link a debit or credit card<\/strong> to bring up the card entry form. Enter your BUVEI card details:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Card number:<\/strong> Enter the virtual card number.<\/li>\n
- Expiration date:<\/strong> Enter the month and year shown in My Cards.<\/li>\n
- Security code:<\/strong> Enter the CVV.<\/li>\n
- Billing address:<\/strong> Use the address registered with your card, if requested.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
PayPal may also place a small temporary authorization when a card is added or edited. For US accounts, this can be up to $1 USD<\/strong>. The amount appears as a pending transaction in your PayPal activity and isn't collected by PayPal.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/wordpress.buvei.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/160-1.jpg\")
<\/p>\nDepending on the card issuer, the authorization may disappear within a few minutes or remain pending for up to 30 days. It can also appear even if PayPal ultimately doesn't accept the card.<\/p>\n
If the card is accepted, it should appear in your PayPal Wallet.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nHow to Verify a Virtual Card on PayPal<\/h2>\n
Adding a card doesn't always mean you'll need to verify it manually. PayPal may confirm some cards automatically, while others require an additional step.<\/p>\n
Step 5: Check Whether PayPal Requires Card Confirmation<\/h3>\n
Return to Wallet<\/strong> and select the virtual card you just added.<\/p>\n
Look for a Confirm Card<\/strong> option next to the card details.<\/p>\n
If the option isn't there, PayPal may have already confirmed the card automatically. There's nothing else you need to do.<\/p>\n
If Confirm Card<\/strong> appears, select it and follow the instructions to begin verification.<\/p>\n
PayPal will then make a separate temporary charge to the card. This charge is used to generate a four-digit confirmation code.<\/p>\n
Step 6: Find Your Four-Digit PayPal Code<\/h3>\n
After requesting card confirmation, check your card's transaction history or statement for the PayPal verification charge.<\/p>\n
The four-digit code appears in the transaction description alongside the charge. It isn't part of the transaction amount.<\/p>\n
PayPal states that the charge and code generally appear on the card statement within 2\u20133 business days<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
The verification amount depends on the account's country and currency. For example, PayPal lists $1.95 USD for US accounts and \u00a5200 JPY for Japan. Other markets have their own amounts.<\/p>\n
This charge is different from the small authorization made when you first add a card. The initial authorization checks whether the card is available for online payments, while the confirmation charge generates the code needed to verify it.<\/p>\n
If you request a new code, another verification charge may appear. PayPal allows users to request a new code up to three times, so check the original transaction first and use the latest code when confirming your card.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/wordpress.buvei.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/162.jpg\")
<\/p>\nStep 7: Enter the Code and Complete Verification<\/h3>\n
Once you have the four-digit code, return to your PayPal Wallet and select the card that needs confirmation.<\/p>\n
Enter the code in the verification field and click Confirm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
PayPal will check the code and update the card's status. Once confirmation is complete, the card should appear as verified in your Wallet.<\/p>\n
PayPal immediately initiates a refund of the verification charge. However, the time it takes to appear in your card balance depends on the issuer and can take up to 30 days.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nWhat to Do If You Can't Link or Verify Your Virtual Card<\/h2>\n
If PayPal rejects your card or the verification process doesn't go as expected, check these common issues before trying again.<\/p>\n
Card Authorization Declined<\/a><\/h3>\n
PayPal may be unable to add a card if its issuer declines the initial authorization request.<\/p>\n
Check whether online payments are enabled and whether the issuer restricts transactions from payment platforms. If the card is active but the authorization still fails, contact the issuer to find out why the request was rejected.<\/p>\n
Incorrect Billing Address<\/a><\/h3>\n
An incorrect billing address can prevent PayPal from adding a card.<\/p>\n
Check that the country, postal code, and address match the information registered with your card provider. If you're unsure which address is associated with the virtual card, ask the issuer for the correct details instead of trying different addresses.<\/p>\n
- Expiration date:<\/strong> Enter the month and year shown in My Cards.<\/li>\n
- Online payment settings:<\/strong> The card must be active and enabled for online transactions.<\/li>\n
