Problem with ebay checkout & Paypal

[stonehaven10mel]

Is anyone else having a problem paying for items with Paypal via the ebay checkout? I bought and paid for an item on the 21st of November and had no issues at all. I bought an item on the 28th of November and when I went though the ebay checkout and logged onto Paypal it said "it could not process the transaction at this time" and had a "Return to Merchant" button on the page. I tried again to pay for it the next day and got the same message. I spoke to ebay and they said they couldn't see any problem and didn't know why it had happened and to get the seller to invoice me directly through Paypal. That worked ok. It happened again when I bought something on the 1st of December and then again today. The problems seems to have coincided with ebay making changes to their site. Is anyone else having problems?

I am sure your problem has nothing to do with the subject of the thread....problems don't last for 4 years.

When paypal says "this option is not availabel" it usually means that you are using a funding source that the seller does not accept.

Some countries are able to block some funding sources.

Have you tried another funding source?
