I've checked and double checked that location services are on and on for the app. When I launch it, it lets me log in or start logging in and then switches to a screen that tells me to enable location services? Dozens of times in a row but I've used it with same portable wifi hotspot box from Verizon... Anyone have a clue what could cause this?

I have been having this problem repeatedly for a couple of weeks. I just happened to try turning off my wifi and it worked! I was having to do it over and over again with no results. But it worked the first time after turning off my wifi in the settings or homepage shortcut. I hope that helps.

The really stuoid and annoying thing about this bug and yes i have it too.... is that they **bleep** well dont need my location. its not like providimg it helps with security since it works regardless os where you are even with them turned on. its just mindless coding on their teams behalf and another apparently frequent needless point of failure. And that is even completely ignoring the big brother conspiracies on data collection, privacy and none of theor **bleep** business if im at a gun show or a **bleep** toy store or my grandmothers church fund raiser flea market. all made up examples of **bleep** this feature, its broken and useless and dangerous to boot.

I have had the same problem on an android phone. The solution appears to be to enable flight mode for 30 seconds then switch it off again. Hey presto, all seems to be working again. Time will tell if this is an on-going solution, but hopefully will be. Good Luck!

On an Android device go to apps PayPal here Storage Clear cache Make sure app is not running shut it down close it in the background restart it with location services on and you should be golden if that doesn't work do the same steps as above and force stop and that should work at least it did for me
