Why is paypal sending 'bitcoin' currency payment to my US credit card processor

[ctdelights]

Won an auction

used my standard payment method of business credit card

paypal says 'can't process transaction' - check for account hold

checked cc card co

the info paypal is sending them has bitcoin as currency, which cc co doesn't handle

**bleep**???!!!

 I would request to cancel that transaction ASAP.  Your seller is either clueless about what payment methods are allowed or they are a scammer.   The only payment methods eBay currently allows are:  paypal (bank transfers and CC), merchant account (outside CC processor that seller have to pay extra for),  or checks and MOs (select categories only).

The seller isn't doing that. PayPal is. Sellers don't have any control over what type of currency info PayPal attaches to a transaction, and there's absolutely no way for a seller to set up an eBay listing to accept bitcoin as payment through eBay's checkout page.

OP, you need to call PayPal.
