I decided to remove the card and add it back in and, at that point, the card number is "invalid" in Paypal's system.
#I keep getting invalid number on handshaker update
When I tried to update the card as I received the new one my parent mailed to me, it wasn't able to do it. (On top of that, my new card was issued at my previous address, which luckily at least, was my parents' where I lived while I was studying.) During those 2 weeks, the number of failed purchase attempts on my credit card was insane and Paypal was automatically taking it from my bank account instead as the 2nd payment method. This made Paypal start giving me warning of the expiration of my card 2 weeks AFTER it expired. To put thing in a simple perspective, in Canada, the expiration date on a card is on the 1st of the month while in the US it's on the last of the month. In my case, I have this problem with a Mastercard card and that's because of Paypal's system being US-based on the date and warning system. It seems that Paypal card registering system consider that number and, if the rating is too low, blacklist certain cards. For example, digital-only (cyber) bank have super low rating right from the start while international banks with high standing in the financial world has high rating. That value seems to varies depending on where the card was issued and by which financial firm or bank. Seems like each card number has some sort of hidden "risk" or whatever rating which seems to be shared globally. There's not only the information that has to fit.

Anyone else experienced this issue? Any suggestions on how to fix it? This is clearly something on the end of paypal. Customer service has been incredibly unhelpful. I called my bank to verify that the information that they had on file (my billing address) was the EXACT SAME as what I was entering on the paypal website.

(again doesn't make sense since i JUST purchased something online). The manager said that it ISN'T actually my CARD NUMBER creating the error but that the billing address doesn't match up to the information attached to my card. I called paypal back to explain my situation and their customer service team said there was nothing on their end that they could do. I tried using safari and google chrome and CONTINUE to get the same "invalid card number" which is NOT invalid. I tried adding my bankcard on my computer, a friends computer and even my phone. I called paypal regarding this issue and their customer service team said it was something on my end, which is impossible since I just used my visa/debit at a store, as well as to make an online purchase today. The expiration date is correct, and I entered it in the correct format paypal requires "00/0000". I double then triple checked my card number to make sure I was putting in the correct information (which I was). I went to add my bank card and received an error message saying "Invalid card number. I've never had a more frustrating experience with a website.
