Error code 70245 70164 "Sellers can't accept payments right now"

When I select the Pay link for a auction that was won, I get this error message "sellers can't accept payments right now" error code 70245 70164. Has anyone tried to pay for an item and received this error? Is this an ebay glitch or does the seller need to correct this & how can they correct this?

70xxx errors are paypal processing errors. That does not necessarily mean that there is any problems with your account.

 

These errors are too numerous to list and depend on both the buyer account and the seller account.

 

Here is the best way to deal with them...

Basic troubleshooting steps like signing out, clearing browser history and signing back in are first steps to resolve these issues.

Then contact PayPal to check your account there.

If PayPal confirms no issues with payment on the member's end, eBay's Customer Service team can look deeper into the issue. eBay Customer Service will be able to give you a definite answer when you experience these issues.

You can call eBay or contact them on Facebook.com/eBay or Twitter.com/AskeBay

Note: Some members have reported that they have cleared these errors by deleting their saved payment info, ie Credit Card info.

I have this same problem also but not for all sellers, I paid for another seller at the same with paypal without any problem, so it's clear that there is not a problem from my end (paypal account).
I contact the seller and got a reply that there is a problem on thier end and the seller will send me inovice on my paypal account, I am not sure that should I share my Paypal account ID OR not.
Any advice?
