    CRAP!!! I cant checkout, help!!! I get this error under paypal:

    We ran into a problem and PayPal isn't available right now. Please select a different payment option.

    Anyone know how to fix this???

    Thanks

    I couldn't get this one to work. It won't accept my payment methods. I've tried 2 different paypals and credit cards but I keep getting -

    "Sorry, we can't process your payment. Here are your options:

    Use a different credit or debit card.
    Pay with a PayPal account."

    • googoogaga on 18/08/2018 - 01:01

      Same here, after it accepted the payment the first time then sent me an email saying the payment was declined, tried with 2 ebay accounts, 1 paypal account and 3 cards. Looks like it's game over for us.

      • googoogaga on 18/08/2018 - 01:06

        good news is i received all my orders now, just couldn't get more.. Or maybe i maxed out my amex card.

    paypal may cancel your accounts, due to breaching the t*c's of your account

    • striek on 18/08/2018 - 01:18

      eBay, sure, but AFAIK it's a legitimate PayPal transaction?

      • Turd on 18/08/2018 - 01:39
        +1

        coz paypal foots the bill for the discount and thus paypal will be like wtf this is weird and may or may not cancel or suspend you.

        have you ready through their thousands of pages of t&cs?

        • MathNerd on 18/08/2018 - 01:46

          How much "discount" did PayPal give to you to cause the drastic measure of complete suspension/ban?
          From previous comments you're now completely banned from PayPal right?

        • Turd on 18/08/2018 - 01:48

          @MathNerd: no discount. yep thy did

        • striek on 18/08/2018 - 01:48

          Haha of course not.

          But eBay foots the bill and they're seperate companies these days.

        • MathNerd on 18/08/2018 - 01:49

          @Turd:

          coz paypal foots the bill for the discount

          This is what I was referring to when asking "How much "discount" did PayPal give to you" :)

        • Turd on 18/08/2018 - 01:52

          @striek: if they do then why does ebay force u to use PayPal for discount to work. Can't u just pay using cc on eBay with code?

        • striek on 18/08/2018 - 02:00

          @Turd:
          They don't. In the terms for the code "piggybank" it says you can use a UK debit card, credit card etc. I imagine you just can't use an Australian one.

          Bare in mind it's site-wide, why would PayPal pay for the discount but not the other million sellers.

  • reactor-au on 18/08/2018 - 01:14

          @Unemployed:
          Seems like they may freeze your PayPal for being accessed from multiple locations at the same time. So VPN on and off would probably be one reason. I didn't get an email about suspension but will check in a few hours.

        • penguincat on 18/08/2018 - 01:51

          Out of interest what should one do? I had my account suspend trying to buy one at full price trying multiple times previously. eBay errors and the like so I thought it was just eBay being funky so I did the I'll try later. But nope wasn't that simple 2 limitations applied within 24 hours.
          Paypal reasoning: According to the person I spoke to flagged everything this seller has as risky items. If their security detects any risk the transaction will be blocked/fail.
          If that was true why do only a small handful have errors? Yet X here seem to have zero issues at all. If anything these bypasses should be raising the sussy flags way way more than just wanting to buy a $25 gift card. Only to get nope sorry too captain risky and here is a nice account lock as thank you present. :S

        • Turd on 18/08/2018 - 01:54

          The Gift Card also may not be used to buy eBay Gift Cards, third party gift cards, gift certificates, coupons, coins, paper money, virtual currency, or items generally considered to be "bullion" (for example, gold, silver, and other precious metals in the form of coins, bars, or ingots).

        • 0031nek on 18/08/2018 - 02:45

          @dins: yes, that's why we just need to create a few more accounts, using each individual account to buy respective gc, such as jb, catch, and ebay gc (and hereby you'll need 3 separate ebay uk accounts) and other gc (including theiconic) and everything will be good. Piggybank ftw. and hell yea i've spent a total of $2000 via 4 different accounts, all using the same paypal account.. within 1hr. good luck guys!

          @moonster: 1: turn on vpn set to uk (i used hola via firefox) ,

          then go to ebay.co.uk to register a new account (making sure your email is not associated to any other ebay account prior) ,

          then just look for the gc wanted, add to basket, hereby you'll be prompted for a delivery address, simply put in any valid starbucks london address, the mobile number you can use your oz number to receive verification code,

          then go to ebay your summary page, add in oz address as postage address, set it as primary delivery address (without this, it will as for US account etc, as encountered by many others here)

          then go back to the gc page, add it back in into your basket, and

          then proceed with login into paypal, then the piggybank code and voila!

          good luck!

          *edit: all above done while you're still in ebay uk.

    1) Trying to buy a few items plus ebay and JBHIFI vouchers.
    2) Getting errors when paying with paypal or credit card.
    3) Removed the JBHIFI voucher.
    4) Paid with Paypal.
    5) Order confirmed.
    6) Received an SMS from PayPal saying they declined the payment for the order of vouchers, payments for other items went through successfully (checked credit card account and all payments are consistent).

    Paypal not suspended.
    I guess i won't receive my vouchers?

    EDIT: For the voucher my ebay says This order wasn't successful. Order cost has not been included in the total amount. The seller hasn't received payment for this order yet

    After some digging, I can confirm that they did have 2 levels of check: eBay account and Paypal account.
    1/ eBay account: this will let tou apple the promo code fixed to country. Eg: eBay account registration address is US can use US promo code, UK can use UK code. When you change country, make sure you got the message saying “congratulations blah blah” moving into the country you changed. You will get confirmation email too. If you dont get any, even your country displayed as the new country, you account still tied to the old one. This means you can not use promo code. I know now the trick can change country with 100% success rate.
    2/ Paypal account check. I did not figuring out the logic of this check yet. I have 4 paypals account, 1 since 2006 and working on this UK promo and last US promo. others 3 did not. Keep getting payment error. Seem like the older your account is, the higher change it will work.

    So, unless you have a “good” (probably old) Paypal account, dont brother trying this.

    Oh, after several attempts of trying to pay by creditcard, my card blocked! Called commbank and they said ebay tried multiple attemps, zero dollar value transaction:)

    I am new to these stuffs. Can somebody tell me how gift cards work? I wanna buy a phone at $750 on ebay.com.au. Let's say I buy $500 as gift card (and save around 50), what happens during the checkout? will it charge my paypal account for the remaining $250 and accepts $500 as gift card payment? or I should do all the amount as gift cards?

    I tried doing it on 4 new eBay UK accounts, ultimately successful on one and got 3 x $200 eBay gift cards. The fiirst one worked no issues using Paypal. Took a few hours to get the voucher emails, but got them eventually.

    Then I had problems with payment as both Paypal and credit card and couldn’t checkout with the other accounts. Ended up using one of them to get the Woolies online vouchers instead.
