Problem with ebay tonight

I have been trying to take advantage of the 5p listing day today although have had no success.

When I enter the email address of the paypal account when I am creating my lisitng and then click continue a page comes up saying that 'Email address cannot be used for paypal payments at this time'. I don't know why this would be the case as I have had no probelms using paypal recently, I have money in my account and no one has tried to do a charge back.

To find out what was wrong I tried to phone paypal but they ask for the telephone number of the account holder but when I enter it they say that they do not recognise the number, yet it is the same number which I can see whenever I view my profile on paypal.

Anyone know why this would be happening?

hhmm not sure i'm afraid. i would still list all the items you wanted to though as you can add the paypal option on afterwards at no extra cost. someone else mentioned something about the paypal problem somewhere else though i'm sure

Thanks for the replies.

I managed to get through to paypal and spoke to a very nice person who went through all of my details and confirmed that there were no probelms with my paypal account. I have sent and recieved payments in the last couple of days and there have been no disputes started against me.

I emailed ebay last night to tell them about the problem so I will hopefully hear something back from them today. It is just so annoying because I wanted to take advanatge of the cheap listing day, but now I will not be able to through no fault of my own.

I tried to take advantage of eBays free motors listing last weekend I tried listing my car and I would not allow me. It just told me there was an error in the listing, I am a power seller with over 300 feedback and know how to list items as I do on a regular basis. I e-mailed ebay and still have not had a responce.

I listed a digital mp3 player last night for the 5p fees with buy it now.. I received a bought item notification within an hour.. then receive the 'your item has been listed' 2 hours later... so yeah i reckon its a bit slow...

Ah. I have just discovered that I only have the problem if I select 'Require immediate payment.' I only wish that I had discovered this last night.
