Biggieboy:
The issue was not from paypal, bro.

U funded 2k and #1050 was debited for the card, leaving u with #950.

U linked ur card and paypal charged u #360 or something and you had just close to #600 left in ur card.

The reason why it was declined when u tried to confirm ur card is that u did not wait for the #360 deducted for the linking to be credited back to ur card. At the time u tried to confirm it, u had less than #700 and that was why u could not confirm it initially.

That wasn't my case, because even the ₦360 wasn't deducted initially.
But the night it was successful, immediately I entered my card details, they sent me debit alert of ₦360 and credited it back within few minutes.
So for me I believe it was from PayPal.

nwafresh:
Yes. Yesterday

I just tried it now and it linked. So I have equally confirmed it.

It wasn't because of the address or whatever, I will believe it's from PayPal.
For those who haven't linked and confirmed theirs successfully, just keep trying, it will go through as far as you have loaded your card.

I really appreciate everyone here. Kudos to you guys.

nwafresh:
Apart from your address, do you have up to 1k presently in the account? If no, go and fund your account with 2k. They'll take #1050 for card fee, then PayPal will take close to 800 or so.

I loaded 2k before trying to link it. The bank deducted ₦1050 for card.

You still not answered my question. Have you resolved yours?

Biggieboy:
Do u have at least #800 in it?

I loaded it before trying to link it. I loaded 2k and ₦1050 deducted.

nwafresh:
With my experience so far, i guess it will help a lot folks that are yet to get their prepaid card..

1. Make sure that your billing address on paypal will be the same with the one you'll fill during the card application. If your PayPal address is not correct, you can edit it (i edited mine)
2. Request for the card from the customer service before he starts filling the details online. Once the card is with you, check the back of the envelope and see if what is written is INTERNATIONAL HIGH. if not, don't allow the personnel to continue with the process online.(i had same issue. I didn't check the back of the envelope and the guy ended up giving me LOCAL HIGH. So please ensure you collect the card envelope and check before he proceeds )
3. If the account (INTERNATIONAL HIGH) is successful, ensure you deposit at least #2000.

4. Once step 1-3 is correctly followed, you can now proceed with both the linking and confirmation.

Shout out to thorrvik55, OBI. I'm loyal sir.

It seems you have resolved yours. Mine is international high yet refuses to link. I have not been able to visit the bank. My issue might be the address.

Please guys. Has anyone been able to resolve the issue of not being able to link Africard to PayPal?

thorrvik55:
I've not come across such issue of africard being declined even though it's funded. Was able to get these possible reasons from PayPal. If you've funded ur africard and it's showing card declined, kindly check if it's one of the following reasons:
[

1. The billing address you've entered for your PayPal account is different than the one on your card statement.
What to do: Check your card statement to ensure both addresses match. If you are sure you've entered the information correctly, please call the card company to find out what they have on file. Sometimes, after a recent move, the information may take longer to be updated.

Thanks, I will check this out. I'm suspecting it could be the reason why mine was declined.

Thanks so much.

nwafresh:
You fund the account after receiving the card? As in did you deposit any money in the account before linking?

Yes. I deposited 2k before trying to link it.

samsard:
Forget about linking a card. Just go ahead and start learning..

I have been working since Wednesday or so, and have earned some money.

When I collected my Africard, I didn't bother funding it immediately. So I did that today but couldn't link the card to my PayPal. Is it a system issue?

thorrvik55:
Yes.
Once u link and confirm ur card (africard) then u can't withdraw ur PayPal funds to ur bank account instantly

Bro please I'm having issue linking my Africard. It's saying that my card has been declined, that I should use another card.

Please is there any solution?

veragold2804:
Good day people, I have been following this thread and I'm interested in this Transcribing thingy. The issue is...

I've tried opening a PayPal account but I'm stuck in linking my debit card. I have tried with 2 ATM cards and it's still saying the card has been denied.

Please I need help.
PS: My both cards are Visa

Guys please any solution to this. I'm also having problem linking my Africard. It's telling me that my card has been declined, I should use another card.

D1uncle:
Not really. Time of registering though I was told it doesn't have the option of transfer but since you are using it. It's fine

1.Transfer? That's if I want to transfer to another PayPal, right?

2. Now that I'm using SA, hope I can widthraw with my Africard?

D1uncle:
Don't use SA. Use Les

Please why? Anything wrong with SA, because that's what I used.

Please, guys I was working on a call and the time got expired, so I was returned to the queue.
What will now happen to that particular call I was working on? Because I'm done, was only cross checking.
Would they give me another chance to submit it?

They just rated my 3rd call 3. After rating my first two calls 1, I almost gave up.

Guys thanks for your advices.

D1uncle:
It's hard work but it's do able. At this stage go through the FAQ over again. And play audio 0.7X instead of 1X

Thanks alot.

zakir007:
Like how many minutes was your first call

2 minutes plus

generationz:
Read through FAQ

When transcribing and there's something you are not sure of check Faq and google.

All right. I'll try again.

This thing is not easy o.
I did my first call this evening, they rated me 1. I picked another one some minutes ago from Funding Circle and still got 1.

toluxe0075:
Please, which branch did you get yours at Ibadan?

Idi-Ape Junction, Iwo-Road

brijibs:
Sure! Transcribe away!

Thanks.

Guys please I haven't activated my Africad neither have I fund it or linked it with PayPal, but I have entered my PayPal email address in QA.
Can I start transcribing pending when I'm ready to fund and link the card with PayPal?

bisisho:
A staff at a UBA branch in Ibadan told me and a customer service representative of UBA told me too when I called to enquire again just to be sure. Except if it's not going to be for dollars. Please which branch did you get yours from? Is there anybody who has gotten it recently?

Where are you at Ibadan? I'm also in Ibadan presently. I just did mine this morning. Nothing like $7 o. They only said that I should fund the card with 2k anytime I'm ready to start using it.

Nueel:
