When I try to pay for an item I bought on eBay, this message appears: This recipient is currently unable to receive money.
I purchased a few other items the past few days, and it all went through fine.
I contacted the seller and he contacted eBay/PayPal and they said it was all fine on his end too.
What's going on? Help please.

That's a great question! 🙂 That message would only appear if there's an unresolved issue on the seller's end. If they're saying that there isn't any problems, well...you should be able to send a payment then, right? So I would have concerns about the seller's veracity at that point.
If they tell you to send the payment to another account, you may want to be leery. I mean, who doesn't solve their problems but instead just moves to another account?
Hope everything works out ok for you.
