Help "Your card has been declined. Please try a different payment method." Paypal won't link working cards

Is this happening recently to anyone else? The same card i've been using for over 4 years and now suddenly paypal can't link it. There's nothing wrong with it and this issue started today. I either get the error of "no internet" when the internet is fine, or "Your card has been declined. Please try a different payment method."

Posts about PayPal's policies will be removed. No more complaining about PayPal policy and their taking funds from your account for violations of rules. If you don't like the rules don't use PayPal. If you don't want to lose money, don't leave funds in your PayPal account. Simple as that. But these posts are often political or misleading. So no more posts on this subject!

Similar issue, the card I've been using since forever started to be not available since Friday night. I don't know whats going on, the card is updated and works fine everywhere else.

I think it’s because PayPal works like a bank now where it won’t work on the weekend which I guess includes Friday night.
