as European, in order to get paypal to work and deduct money from bank account, i had to get 'an internet card' issued, as it refused to connect with my normal cards, which sucks, no other way to get it connected was available when i did this four years back. The only workaround was to make paypal and send money via bank-account with the option to "top up instantly" as the other option via Iban was ridiculously expensive (we're talking 20 dollars fee in a land where people earn 300-500 on average) and Top-up instantly did not cover all the banks, and when it did have your bank as an option, it was only for a few weeks, and then it took up to 4 months to return back.
Paypal is a monstrosity if you don't have online capable card that is accepted by it.
