  • Dont know - have you changed your password in ebay and not told paypal - although this is really only a problem usually if you are selling and paypal is linked to your sale. Another problem could be that your card has expired (have you had a new one recently - is so you need to delete the old one and add your new one in paypal settings).
    Aint got a signature - as I cant think of anything world wisely to say.

  • I had a buyer with the same problem yesterday - wondering if it's connected with the explosion at the US HQ yesterday?

I always give paypal two chances to made my payment. If the 2nd time hasn't gone thru' I just pay by personal cheq. & inform the seller that paypal is not very user friendly!!!
