Why do I have to provide a credit card if I want to buy Netflix (Austria)?

Why do I have to add a credit card if I want to buy Netflix (Austria) and want to pay with paypal?

I don't have a Maestro Debit card, I only have one.

I also loaded 50 euro on paypal.

Very easily:

PayPal wants you to add a credit card; They have been doing this more and more frequently lately to secure payments and to filter out minors who have illegally registered there with a fake date of birth.

So you should get a credit card, which is no longer a problem these days.

And before you ask:

No, you will no longer be able to use PayPal without adding a credit card.

And if you should still be a minor or if you were a minor when creating an account - which I personally do not believe of course - then this is the beginning of the end of your PayPal account, in which case it will be blocked permanently shortly; You as a person, too, by the way.

Can I create a credit card on the internet?

No, it is not "created", you apply for it at your bank or a credit card company, it is also available free of charge.

You are safe of age, are you?

So underage.

Then enjoy your PayPal account a little bit, that will soon be history.

This is a security measure from PayPal to filter out minors who have cheated an illegal PayPal account with a fake date of birth.

Are you of legal age?
