There are payment methods, including some debit cards, that cannot be used to pre-authorize automatic payment to place a bid or make an offer, even though they are accepted at Checkout, since the requirements are different. Your options are to find a listing for the item that doesn't require you to pre-authorize (there is no way to add or edit a payment method on the bidding/offer popup), or find a Buy It Now for the item, or use a payment method that is accepted (try PayPal with a balance) and for an auction you have 1 hour after you win to checkout manually using the method/card you want to use to override the automatic payment.
We want your journey here to be as great as can be, so we have put together some links to help you get quickly familiarized with the eBay Community.
