it is not like your traditional bank or cc credit,it is meant for online purchases,and not always available.

You were approved but it doesn't mean you can spend it.  Many people have reported this problem so it is not just you. How much of an account history do you have with PayPal?  PayPal reserves the right to restrict the use of the credit line based on the circumstances of each purchase too.  Purchases can be denied even after you check out.

 

You can contact customer service for exact reason why:
