I'm trying to buy myself some food so I don't go without this week. But APPARENTLY PayPal decides to have this problem for me too. All I want to do is buy an e-gift card with money that was sent to me by a friend, and I get the "Sorry, we can't complete your purchase at this time. Please return to the merchant" problem. It's bloody ridiculous, and I want an answer. PayPal mods, owners, all of y'all... get on this right now! Some of us want to actually use the money we've been given, not let you hoard it! This ain't a bank!

Getting the error below when trying to link my PayPal account with my canadian Microsoft account.

The PayPal account has an approved link for bank transfers to my canadian bank (TD).

"We’re sorry, we weren’t able to set up preapproved payments at this time. Please try again later."

Something tells me "Please try again later." won't do it (Where does it ever?).

I am encountering this issue too. 

But in the first place, I was able to proceed with paypal balance.

This issue only happened after I add a credit/debit card to my account.

I've been having the same issue.

It started happening after I did an update in my account (address, bank account information etc). Now I am stuck, unable to pay a simple $10 Netflix subscription. 

After reading many forums about this issues, here is what I tried... to no avail:

-clearing my cache, browser history

-trying in chrome incognito

paypal, what is yo deallll

Hey PayPal, We have previous customers that were able to pay through their credit cards. But today, two of my customers cannot get through with paying and always seeing : "Sorry, we can’t complete your purchase at this time Please return to the merchant." What's happening? I'm from the Philippines and cannot contact your customer service. Can you fix this please? Thanks!

No one here can do anything to fix this, you need to contact customer services.
