Hey, today I got some dosh sent to me by a friend, and I tried to use it to buy an iTunes gift card (25$ in case that matters) through paypal digital gifts, and it wouldn't go through. After multiple attempts, I gave up and went to Ebay and tried to buy an item ($400), but that didn't work either. If I added it to my cart, at checkout it would say "failed to load cart." Hitting buy it now, it would say I reached a purchase limit, but I made the account yesterday and haven't bought anything but this. Logging out and trying to purchase as a guest on ebay, and logging into my paypal account, I was still unable to buy my thing. Can anyone help? The ebay thing was a pretty good deal and I don't want to miss out on it...
Edit: The Exact Message from sites other than ebay is "Sorry, we can’t complete your purchase at this time," and eBay Guest Checkout says "Sorry, this payment option isn't available. Here are your options:" and the options are "pay with something else" or "contact paypal customer service."

You kept asking if I meant a credit card when I stated credit card multiple times; that led me to thing you didn't undestand the difference.

I said I linked a Debit card, and asked if it Specifically had to be a credit card instead. That's not "kept asking."
I also asked if I needed to be verified, which required "Paypal Credit" or linking my bank account, which went unanswered but I'm assuming the answer is no, as long as I link literally any credit card, then? Not a Debit card, though, specifically and 100% only linking a credit card will let me spend my paypal balance on ebay, right?

You need to phone PayPal support if you want specific answers to your questions.
Otherwise, just provide accounts which PayPal requests.
