Paypal Security Key not working when paying for ebay items

[petekat03]

Hi,

Has anyone else had an issues with their Paypal Security Key while logging in when paying for ebay items.

For me from time-to-time when paying for eBay items; after I enter my Paypal log in details, Paypal says "logging in" but then just sit there until it eventually times out - it never gets to the Security Key screen.

If I log in to Paypal direct the log in with Security Key works fine. Other online shopping sites also work fine, it just seems to be eBay and it started happening from about Nov15.

The only workaround to pay for eBay item is to log directly into Paypal, temporarily deactivate Paypal Security Key, then pay for the eBay items with Paypal, and then finally reactivate the Paypal Security Key.

I've tried Paypal support but had no luck, they think the issue is on my end.

I had the same issues. They told someone else here that you now had to use the VIP activation which was a lot of rubbish. This also didn't work for me. Good security,  I couldn't even use my account if the key was activated. I had to deactivate the key, purchase, then activate the key again. Like I said to paypal that's not what is suppose to work.

Eventually I spoke to one of the techs, I had to send them a few error logs and they got it sorted. It's been working fine since.

Try this,it worked for me.....

Log into the checkout screen using your password and your security code eg: password538124

Your password with the keycode will get you right through to the paypal payment choice page

This does work as I had the same problem for weeks and this solved it

Good luck

If there's a glitch it works swapping to classic view on a mobile.
