Can't use PayPal.
I have just bought an item worth in excess of $2,000.00 and tried to pay for it by using my PayPal account and Ebay stopped the transaction from being processed. PayPal was a payment method listed as a way to pay. The payment tab had 'Pay with PayPal but it wouldn't let me go any further. I have been an Ebay member for years and have always used PayPal to pay for my purchases.

·2 years agoI’m glad you managed to make the payment.
I should have mentioned earlier that it’s Friday, Friday is notorious for eBay glitches.

·2 years agoWhat is your daily limit / transaction limit in your bank account or on your card?

OP2 years agoI was able to pay with my card, which I did. I have my Bank Account linked to PayPal and the daily limit on payments/withdrawals is more than three times the price of the item I purchased. I received a reply from eBay telling me I removed this payment method, which is incorrect.

·2 years agoI used it a couple of days ago with no problems. So it could be a "Friday Gremlin" so try again later.
eBay have said that they were going to discontinue Paypal, but as far as I'm aware that hasn't happened for buyers yet.

What did the message that stopped you actually say?
I don't know, *maybe* eBay bots flags were raised since you have have no recent feedback at all and most feedback is 'over a year ago' ?
How long you have been a member really has nothing to do with it
A person could have been a member since the day eBay started, then got their account hacked and had someone buy something very expensive
Is your PayPal linked to your bank/credit card that you put a limit on ?
Sounds like a security measure to me
But you'd need to contact them directly if you want 'their' explanation
