Why was my PayPal deposit declined?

Last updated: 12 August 2026

Not available in EN-US — showing English.

A request to deposit funds in an etoro investment account via PayPal may be declined for a few reasons.

Check to see if:

  • There are enough funds in your PayPal account or associated bank accounts.
  • You are using a PayPal account that is not in your name
  • You are using a credit card or debit card. Please note you can only deposit with Paypal using your bank account or Paypal balance.
  • US clients must use a PayPal account that is registered in the US.
  • There are errors on your bank’s side.
  • There are limits on your etoro investment account.

If you would like to know more about why your deposit was declined, contact our Customer Service team.
