Paypal · DIGIT-ARC

Hi,
ive gone through many threads in this forum about Paypal and also Ico's '[Must Read] Information regarding Indian Debit Cards' thread,very informative thread i must say.So my question is -can i register on paypal using a Axis bank debit card?,because i found it confusing where it says that 'it works as a funding source'.
or should i need to take Virtual credit card,(no clue about it lol)?
Currently i have a SBI Maestro card and a PAN card and i recently found out that i cant use it for registering paypal.lol,also, i cant afford a credit card.thanks.

Yes, you can register on Paypal with your Axis Bank debit card. You'll be able to verify and activate your account too, you'll be able to receive payments from overseas or anywhere else, but the thing which you won't be able to do is purchasing anything via Paypal. You MUST have a CC for that, no VCC or anything else will work.

^thanks for the reply.one more question.What axis debit card should i opt for-like platinum,gold etc?

That depends on you. I had a Gold card, but I don't know the differences between a Gold vs Platinum vs Prime card. Before applying check all of'em in their website, that might give you some idea.

^thanks..could you tell me whats written on it- Visa/Mastercard?

Technically AFAIK you don't need debit card to register.. You can register.. but outgoing :lol:

(I mean purchasing) will not be activated unless you add & verify that credit card.... even receiving will be off until you verify your account number..

I don't remember but logically that should be right..

If you want input, you would need to bind it to a bank account.

right. i have a paypal account. all u need is a pan card and bank account, well you cannot send money or purchase anything unless u attached a credit card. (sorry for my english)

I have added my Axis Debit Card(Master) to PayPal and can purchase stuff from international sites too. and my PP account is verified.

^Thanks

.2 yrs' a lot of time.Searched quite a bit and found out that people had some luck with axis master/visa,also somebodys visa card didnt work.Can anyone confirm me on this?i might as well call them(axis bank),dunno if they know about the paypal thing.

I first registered back in 2008, but for testing I created another account just 7/8 months back.
Believe me, I tried my arse off to somehow get working the Axis Debit card as its the only secured option to purchase from international Ebay but I just couldn't. Then did a Google search, which clearly told me that NO Debit card will work in Paypal for any purchase. So, anyone, for whom a debit card worked, be it of any bank, is REALLY lucky.

Hi,
i went to axis bank asked them to issue a debit card,but they said that i need to put 10k inr in the acc/maintain for 3 months.is that true?coz i got the sbi card without any balance.what other banks should i look for?thanks

do you have a axis bank account ?

^nope.how about a students acc in axis?does they charge for it also?

debit card is intended to be used with a account. whenever you make a purchase using a debit card the amount gets deducted from your account. the minimum quarterly balance in Axis bank should be 10K .. that's the reason they informed you regarding 10K deposit. Anyway, for debit card you should have a bank account with money in it.

Im ****ed lol.it was 500 inr before
Axis Bank ups minimum balance on savings a/cs

if you want to use paypal then its better to get a Credit Card. for bank account you can open a SBI account.. only Rs.500 needed to be there in the account

One does not bind a debit card for input. It has to be a bank account.

yup and it has to be a non-sbi acc lol..

I lost Rs.750 in Axis Bank for not maintaining their minimum quarterly balance, closed the account immediately.

Also I would like to have a credit card mainly for Paypal, which is the cheapest one and how do I go about getting one?

If u want to pay using your paypal account.
1) Go to Entropay.com
2) Create an account and link your Credit/Debit card there (any Indian bank card with Visa Logo works).
3) Create a Virtual Credit Card on that site.
4) Link your Paypal account with your Virtual Credit Card.
5) Done.

There exists a secure workaround. Entropay allows you to create a Virtual Credit Card. The advantages are simple.

1) You pay using a Virtual Credit Card so Card theft is out of the question.
2) The balance on your card is no way linked to your Real life bank account so your account is hidden and hence secured.
3) You charge your card only if u wanna pay for something. Basically, Imagine If you want to buy something for 30$, then add 30$ to your virtual credit card balance and then use that virtual credit card to buy. So even If it is hacked, there is no loss of money.
4) The VCC (Virtual credit card) can be destroyed with one click. And creating another one is free, basically create as many as u want ^^.

PS: I myself have an account there. Its safe and secure, but naturally, no services are free and there is a charge per transaction. Read all the rules before making an account. If your account stays inactive for a specified period of time (around 4-6 months I think), certain amount is deducted from your virtual balance.

^^^but i saw many people getting their paypal accounts blocked because of VCC...its issued form london so causing problems...dont know whether its true me also trying to verify paypal using entropay..

^Can anyone confirm on this?

No, I dont think so.
I'm using entropay and its also ADDED to my PayPal account since months and verified the CC as well!! its like just another credit card.

+1 to that. Recently some of the sites are not accepting my card (Google Checkout, GOG) anymore, most probably due to absence of Verified with Visa. So created a VCC at Entropay and also verified the same with my PayPal a/c. Very good service, albeit at a token charge.

I have registered on paypal using my axis bank credit card and it's work fine for me....

^^ Credit card works fine anywhere

finally,Ive verified paypal using SBI silver card,didnt really knew,earlier,that i can verify with a bank acc.
thanks all

Apparently the Axis Bank Debit Card works on Paypal for buying. Is is because the Axis Bank debit cards are International cards?

its nothing but proper implementation of 3DSC. As long has any bank implements properly on their Visa or any card, you can easily pay online :wink:
