Paypal unable to process my payment

[trailerwailer]

Ebay was working fine, bought a few things in a row, no problem, with the card I've been using for ages. Suddenly I'm not able to buy anything, as when I go to check out I keep getting Paypal is unable to process payment, I've checked all my details for both debit card and Paypal at least 5 times but no change. I've restarted the laptop, no change. I've searched online for info and can't find anything. I've sent two emails to ebay and have had no reply. This is very frustrating as someone is waiting for a payment. Any advice info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Join the club! I have no idea what is going on as I have tried multiple times with PP and Ebay with various cards I have to no avail. All of the sudden I can’t update my cards on EBay and can’t use my debit with PP,but the debit is good else where paying for items. And I see from past posts this has been a on going problem that hasn’t been addressed. Never had a problem for all the years I have used both until today,it’s gotta be a glitch that isn’t being fixed.

Problems checking out or paying generally fall into one of the following categories:

Temporary glitch -- try again later.

Browser issue -- try another browser. Try disabling your ad blocker on checkout pages or PayPal's sign in page. If using Firefox, try disabling Enhanced Tracking Protection. Try checking out using the eBay app.

Device issue -- try another device to rule out problems with a particular device or firewall.

Problem with the seller's eBay account; in some cases the seller has not set up the account to accept payment from the buyer or from the buyer's location. Particularly the case when the seller is new to selling or located in another country than the buyer. Must be fixed by the seller.

Problem with the buyer's eBay or PayPal account; similar to problems with the seller's account. In some cases PayPal needs additional documentation or the accounts need to be linked or verified, or the buyer needs to create a PayPal account as there are limits to the number and amount of transactions that can be completed as a guest without registering. Must be fixed by the buyer.

If you are having problems signing in to PayPal, try disabling your ad blocker or other browser add-ons; if you are using Firefox, try disabling Enhanced Tracking Protection using the shield icon to the left of the page address. Sometimes trying another browser altogether can help.

Problem with a particular payment method or card -- in that case trying a different card, or switching between using PayPal or entering a credit card into eBay's checkout might help. Also worth trying to pay using a bank account tied to a PayPal account or a cash balance in a PayPal account, if possible.

Problems with PayPal involving minimum payments -- notably when total transaction is less than a dollar. In some cases, adding a donation or combining items may raise the cost above the minimum amount necessary.

Network issue -- problems that cause an "Access Denied" error message are often caused by a network blockage of one kind or another. As a temporary workaround, try completing checkout using a laptop or phone when not connected to the usual wifi network. Try checking out without using a VPN.

Site issue -- try checking out using ebay.ca or ebay.co.uk. If you have already committed to purchase an item, be sure to go through your Purchase History page to avoid making multiple commitments to purchase the same item on different sites.

If you are buying from multiple sellers, try to purchase from each seller individually in case a problem with one seller is holding up the transaction.

eBay is no longer processing payments through PayPal..You have to open a bank account that is not tied to PayPal..Which I would never do. As PayPal is is our security to prevent access to your actual bank account..Why I use PayPal. they have saved me from fraud..

So I suggest you try other sites to sell or buy on. And today there are several to choose from..

Hope that helps..

eBay is no longer processing payments through PayPal.

eBay still allows buyers to pay using PayPal, though eBay does not use PayPal to pay sellers.

This thread is from May and concerns purchases, not sales.
