I bought items this morning and used Pay Pal. I just tried to buy an item and Pay Pal isn't even listed as a choice. I have to choose between Google Pay or entering card information. Why?

It looks like PayPal is down and maybe it is affecting ebay? I bought an item earlier with PayPal also and now can't buy anymore with it. I hope it is fixed.

I'm having the same issue as well. I'm a long time ebayer and a frequent buyer and if PayPal is no longer an option, I will be moving over to Amazon Market Place.

Same! I just used paypal not too long ago, tried to make a purchase today, no paypal as payment method.

I am having the same issue and am not finding any discussion on it anywhere except on this thread.

Same issue--- I bought an item 4/17 with PP... tried to pay today and no option shows

same issue here. unclear if it's down or gone at this point. seems foolish to eliminate as it's a common and preferred wallet method online.

I asked about this to a PayPal agent in chat and this is what that person said:

Same here. Guess I won't be shopping here any more...

When I opened a chat regarding the missing Paypal option issue, this is what I received as a response:
Yes your correct sir we do have a sudden site problem with paypal which we have already sent a report to our technical team to work on this site issue that we are having with paypal
I know that this is inconvenient on your part. Just to let you know this is a possible site issue on the site so a report will be done on this matter. For the meantime what we can suggest is for you to use a different payment method. Rest assured that this has been reported and forwarded that we are doing our best to resolve this matter as soon as possible.

I noticed the same this evening. From what I'm reading, Ebay planned on ditching PayPal for quite some time. If this is permanent and not just a glitch , I'll be ditching Ebay. I'm sure many will.

It is a Paypal glitch that they are working on

I guess ebay WANTS to get rid of half its customers...?

Maybe Elon Musk just made ebay an offer they couldn't refuse...? 🙂

Today's problem was between the Ebay / PayPal link. The problem has now been resolved, so everything should be functioning normally for you.
