Asked by COBx666 (105points) October 11th, 2010

I am trying to buy something on Ebay, through Paypal via debit, but it is asking me for and expiration date and a CSC# but I dont have either of those on a debit card. What am I supposed to do?

Erm, forgive me, but are you sure you don’t? My debit card does, but maybe yours is different. The expiry date would be something like 09/12, written near the bottom of the front of the card, and the CSC# would be the last three digits on the signature strip on the rear… Does your card really not have these?

Really? Cause I just bought something with my debit card and I have both of those, too.

Is it a debit card or an ATM card? Because a debit card has an expiration date and a security number, and is also usually a Visa, Mastercard, AmEx, or Discover card. Debit cards are made to be used like credit cards.

Do you have an ATM only card? That my not have all the credit card type info.

You’re trying to set up a Paypal account to pay?

One solution would be to purchase a VISA or Mastercard gift card to pay this time but you can set up your Paypal account to be tied directly to your bank account but that takes several days to week to process because of method they use to confirm the account information.

I already set up my paypal, I had to wait 3 days. Im not really sure why there is a difference to and atm card and a debit card. but I guess I have an ATM card because I dont have an expiation date. Thanks for the help though

Glad it worked out.
Paypal makes a lot of things on the internet less complicated. And funds can be transferred TO you.

sounds like an ATM card and not a debit card. See the TOS at PayPal though for some further insight PayPal
