• Paypal does not or can not process a payment if there is an inconsistency in the billing information. Example: Entered name, postal code, city etc., does not match the Credit card provider's data. Or if the Credit card provider is blocking the payment for some reason. If you are using your (issued to you) credit card, entering the correct information, and payment still doesn't go through, please get in touch with your Credit card provider; the provider has more insight into why a payment failed.
