Paypal problems...

vikki2k1

Firstly i tried to pay for an item with paypal and they will not allow me to do instant bank transfer but only allow me to send e-cheque, and when i try to pay with my card it says it was declined, though it shouldnt be as i have more than enough money in the account!

has anyone else got a problem??

- Has your card expired?
- Is there money in your PP account?

no the card hasn't expired, and no theres no money in the pp account, but i just payed ebay today for my fees and it allowed me to do a bank transfer, but now it only allows the e-cheque!

oh right, thanks for that, is there a way around it? i thought maybe send the payment to the seller through paypal but not through ebay, just by send money, and write in the message bit the details of what item it is for etc. do u think that would allow me to do a bank transfer?

Sorry I can't help with that - I offered to try to get round it, but my seller preferred just to wait (she trusted me enough to send out the item immediately, which of course helped). I don't see why you can't cancel the original payment and pay direct, but then I don't understand anything about this glitch.

It took about 10 days for my account to get back to normal.

i havent sent the payment yet coz it didnt allow me to use my bank card and i want the item ASAP.
I will contact the seller and try sort it out! thanks for all your help
