Not a ice cube in Hell's chance that I'll get through to eBay / PapPal customer services, so to teh 'tinternets it is. I.e. here!
Look for item on eBay, add 1 to basket, go to checkout, choose PayPal as default, then I get - "sorry, this payment option isn't available. here are your options". Then it says pick another payment option. I've had this eBay and PayPal account since early 2001 and they have always been linked accounts. The linked bank account was opened in 1997 thus being the only one I've used. I just renew the card's 3-digit security number every 3-4 years when I get issued a new card.
This problem is intermittent, affecting about 1 out of every 10 eBay orders starting last year, and it affects both desktop browsers and the mobile app versions. It doesn't affect any PayPal spends outside of eBay e.g. Steam / Origin games, Wetherspoon's app**, Disney Store online, JustGiving or any PayPal gift payments.
Thankfully, the eBay outlet affected tonight also has an Amazon outlet, so I ordered from there and PM'd the seller on what happened. Just in case they're aware of any other blocked sales from eBay customers.
Have any of you had this?
** I use Android Pay now for the Wetherspoon's app. The sooner everything changes to Android / Apple Pay, the better. They work!
