Paypal checkout not working

[kiln_kardz]

I am having problems with the checkout when choosing pay with PayPal.  All I am getting is the buffering wheel and it not going any further for the last couple of days.  I have just tried to do a buy it now and it is still happening.  It all started when I was in the middle of paying for something and it seemed to go wrong with me trying again and again.  Maybe I have inadvertently caused the problem from my end. I did eventually manage to pay for all the outstanding items from more than one seller by going to the bell icon then checkout rather than my usual way of going to purchased items and choosing the items to pay for.  But now I can't even do a buy it now without it buffering all the time and going no further. Anyone know what I can do about this.  Also on a few occasions when I am viewing an item the it isn't right either. They screen looks like it is full of coding and <> up down arrows and HTML/coding and picture out of place with everything to the left and nothing like the normal view of items etc.

I have no idea how to get it back to normal. I am able to bid. But I haven't won anything since this happened so don't know if I can do a checkout on one like that yet rather than a buy it now but I suspect it will still be the same.

Try checking out using a different browser.

If that works, try clearing your cache and eBay cookies in your original browser.

I have been having problems checking out via paypal for months now, it buffers interminably when using the checkout via paypal link from the ebay checkout screen to login to PP  and paypal does those ugly captcha puzzles and all kinds of delays to even login  UNLESS you are already logged into your paypal account in another screen tab on your pc.  When that condition is  met, and  I go to checkout and click checkout with paypal it performs flawlessly. In my opinion you have done nothing wrong. PayPal says it is you, Ebay says it is PayPal, the truth is they are not properly communicating on the checkout link for  many months now.

Some possible things to try in this thread:

But it did  not work. The ebay checkout link  to paypal login does not work for the same reason that ebay sometimes requires a captcha puzzle to view one's own feedback profile or to view one's own  order details: Ebay is screwing up handling of the user's computer IP address in many links, even just page to page transitions within ebay! Hence, many links within ebay then completely fail to work when they are most needed. I have even had ebay require one of those gotcha puzzles to go to checkout or even view my cart. When  that beomes frequent I remove the item and quit shopping.

But it did not work.

What did not work?

What browsers have you tried? Latest version? And what operating system are you using?

Are you using a VPN, or privacy add-ons like Ghostery or Disconnect? Or blocking third-party cookies?

Sounds like there may be an issue with your particular setup if you are encountering multiple Captcha tests between page transitions. That does not happen for most users.

Thanks. If it requires accepting third party cookies, I will just continue my workaround. I have never allowed third party cookies  in the 30 years I have been on the internet. That method even worked on all Ebay functions until   about November 2021 then it first started manifesting itself on the checkout link to PP. Then it began requiring frequent captcha puzzles to log in and switch pages within my ebay session.

That is happening to me as well, 2 times so far I can only pay if I am already loged into paypal
