How to offer paypal on my listings

[nicktropcarnby]

I am trying to edit my settings to allow paypal to be offered but I can't seem to find out how to do so. I found the setting but i can't edit it like some of the others.

Your listings already show that you accept Paypal. Not sure why your settings say otherwise.

Weird. I got like 3 different people telling me “the sellers are not accepting payments at the moment”

I am messing with all kinds of settings and asked them to try again. Same message popped up

I'm pretty sure that your payment issues are due to a basic glitch, and not your Site preferences setting. Try sending the buyers an invoice.

I am having the same issue. I've already indicated that I receive PayPal, have linked my PayPal and Ebay accounts, and my listings show PayPal accepted, but my account setting still says:

Offer PayPal on my listings: No

Display "PayPal Preferred" on my listings: No

And there doesn't seem to be anyway to edit this.

Hi Mate , 

You must go here to activate the payment by PayPal

this worked for me, thanks!

Yes, it worked for me also. I was going nuts trying to figure it out. 50 gold stars to you!

Did you opt into the managed payments by any chance. Sellers who opt into the ebay  managed payment pilot program can not offer paypal for 1 year. You might want to call ebay and go over the issues you and your buyers are having. There have been some post of buyers not being able to pay for items in the USA and having to sign in to different domains like ebay Canada to make payments.

I'm a web designer and developer. Do you have any idea how much it irks me to see how outdated and badly designed ebay is? For such a huge company, I would expect them to have hired a designer not from Craigslist... Ugh

How big are the websites you design? The company I work for has about 10,000 screens that have been developed over decades and are on three different technology stacks.

When it comes to prioritizing the backlog - i.e. converting a screen that already works to a new technology stack just to "make it prettier"  vs. implementing new features (like collecting and submitting sales tax so sellers do not have to deal with it), I hope eBay chooses the latter.

I've worked in project of all sizes. I've done some freelancing here and there. Some of the site using UI and UX that I created are VA.gov (US Department of Veteran Affairs), PA Liquor Control Board, JobGateway also known as CareerLink, PA Department of Corrections, PA Department of Transportation, COMCAST, Scala Inc Content Manager, and the list goes on.

The PA Department of Correction (CAPTOR program) had a similar architecture to the one you described. The back end was mostly written in ASP.NET and the Front-End in HTML/CSS/JS but since it was a merge of 5 different systems that used to live independently, we had to make different stacks coexist in the the same ecosystem. Some of them built on React and some on Angular. It was a challenge for sure, but that merge is more of a challenge for the back end and their abilities to create successful requests to the API from different places regardless of what the front end is built on. Whether it is pure HTML/CSS views, or Angular css and html components, or React JSX, it can all be done. I'm hoping eBay reaches out some day to good talent. Their UX simply sucks and is full of cognitive friction.

Glad to see a fellow developer here, btw!
