Hi all,

This is an old thread, but I hope someone will be able to help.

So it took me some (a lot of?) time to investigate this issue, because
of various reasons, mainly lack of time.

The strangest thing is that I've donated to Trisquel in the past
before that issue and everything worked. I've explained that to my
card issuer and PayPal.

I've contacted PayPal and they've claimed that my issue is because my
card issuer is not authorizing the transaction. I spoke with my card
issuer/bank and they told me I have to go in one of their offices
during work days, so the department of credit/debit cards and online
payments can be contacted by one of their clerks and investigate the
issue.

So I've went. They told me the transaction have to be recent - few
months had passed since my last attempt to become an associate
member. I've made another attempt and went again in an office couple
of days later. Then they've told me that the website is requiring
credit cards while mine is a debit card. I've again contacted PayPal
with this information, and they kept repeating and repeating the same
old stuff, that they have nothing to do with the authorization and
kept ignoring my questions and new information.

After few more mails, they've told me/insisted I should call the
credit/debit cards and online payments department via the phone number
on the card, although I've already told them 2-3 times that I have a
response from the exact same department.

I've again contacted the card issuer via the requested method, and
explained the hole issue and what I've done so far. I've requested a
confirmation. Yet again they've confirmed that the information was
correct. The transaction was refused because the requested type of
card was credit card. They've informed me that sometimes
configurations of (virtual) POS terminals are changed which causes
such problems.

I've again contacted PayPal and told them what was the response. I've
asked them several times is it possible for a merchant to set allowed
card types, which they ignored.

And to my surprise I found out I am able to make one time donations,
but I am unable to pay for the membership program with the same card.

With no other options left I wrote for my issues to asociation at
trisquel dot info, the address which accepts the donations for the
associated membership program. After two weeks without response I
forwarded the message to Ruben's personal address. Still no
response. The last message I've sent at 18th of September.

So, can you suggest what options do I still have? Anybody here
involved in the project that he/she would be able to help?
