Ebay AU taking me to Paypal China

[outback_blends]

Just curious if this is happening to anyone else.

When I go to pay my ebay fees it keeps sending me to Paypal China (chinese writting ) 

I live in Au , sell in Au and have never been to Ebays China site or paypals China site - why would it send it me to the Chinese paypal site ....not the first time it has done this either 

Going bald from scratching my head about ebay lately !

I'm scratching my head as to why you haven't got automatic fee payment?

Only way to sort it out is to call Paypal and ask them.

there's been a couple of posts about people experiencing the same thing. i thought it was a myth until it happened to me the other day - but it only happened once. extremely strange.

I am getting this today for another site and in Spanish, it is really annoying. I have to use the Chrome incognito window to get into the English language site.

i should probably also have mentioned (though not trying to tell anyone how to suck eggs) - if you have any doubts to the legitimacy of the paypal login - you should always type the address of your local paypal site (ie http://www.paypal.com.au) in your browser and then log in, rather than doing it on the suspicious-looking site.

Maybe because they were required to lodge a credit card for fee payment? I know eBay required that from me, so I just pay with Paypal before the invoice is due. Saves having to transfer money into my bank account.

yeah dave, i'm in the same boat. i always make regular "once-off payments" to keep the total down. makes me feel better about being rorted :]

Only "issue" I've been having, and it's been happening for awhile, when I log in to eBay, it tells me it's translating the page to English, even though it's already in English. If I hover over the words to see the original text, it's all in English. No idea why it does it, but it's been doing it for awhile now. Haven't been into PayPal for a few days.

That doesn't help when you're paying your ebay fees because you get taken to pp from ebay.  It's not a case of signing in to pp and then sending ebay a payment.
