So when I buy here I always use PayPal to pay. Tried to buy something today and it pops up they are having a problem choose another payment method.
So I go into my PayPal account and everything is fine. No issues. Go back into the listing and now it won’t even display the pay with PayPal option.
That seller just lost a sale.
Anyone else see this?

It looks like PayPal has been having technical issues with their API today.
https://www.paypal-status.com/incident/production
The API is how eBay and many other sites connection to PayPal - if that isn't working, eBay can't connect to complete the payment process, so they won't display PayPal as a payment option.
You'll need to use an alternate form of payment or wait for PayPal to fix the issue. I'm seeing it back on listing pages when I look now, so it may be resolved or at least in the process of being resolved.

I tried three times right before I posted. Hope it’s a glitch. But as I said, that seller I was going to buy from just lost a sale.
makes me wonder if my customers are getting this.

I purchased 3 items this morning using PayPal; this afternoon the option is no longer shown.

Glitch of the day.

I just looked at my personal listing page and noticed Paypal is no longer an option. I see Gpay, Visa, Mastercard, Amex, and Discover. I don't see Paypal. Wish this would have been brought to our attention.

Why not just add and use your credit card/debit card/checking account on the eBay platform and skip using Pay-Pal? When I kept money in PP from sales, that was one thing, but now that I don't, don't see a reason to use it on this platform.

Same, PayPal no longer available. Hope it's just a technical issue.

Same Issue here.. Going to go shop on Amazon...
09-14-2022 02:15 PM
hope it works, it's how I pay for shipping. We'll see tomorrow...
