I am using my american express gift card and paypal has taken it. It is now linked but i need some 4 digit code to activate it. Where do i get this code? Do i need to put in my bank account? I dont know what good that would do because gift cards aren't related to bank accounts. SO i tried to buy somethin online and when i check out with paypal, this comes up: The amount of this transaction exceeds your remaining sending limit and cannot be processed at this time.
