PayPal stopped working as checkout option
I’ve been using PayPal as my payment option at check for years. Usually when I choose this and proceed, it opens up a mini page on top of my basket to sign into PayPal and complete the purchase.
A few days ago, I was in an area of poor signal. As it opened up this PayPal sign-in page, it suddenly brought up an error message stating: “Something went wrong. Please try again later.†If I refresh the page or close it and try again, it always begins to load up the sign-in, before defaulting to this error message.
I’ve unlinked and relinked my eBay and PayPal accounts. I’ve deleted both apps from my iPhone and reinstalled. Same problem persists. It’s infuriating.
If I use eBay on my desktop computer, I can complete purchases using PayPal. But on my phone - whether using app or Safari browser- it brings up this error every time.
How do I fix this? Never happened before. I feel like the causation is something to do with attempting to pay once in an area of poor phone signal and then refreshing the page multiple times; I know that sounds weird, but that was when it started.

Have you tried clearing your cache?

OP8 months agoWeirdly, I had tried that in safari to no avail.
But I just tried it in the iPhone settings for Safari and it has now done the trick.
Many thanks!
