I noticed that I have $506 in PayPal Credit in my account. I tried to buy something on eBay and it said that it couldn't authorize my payment. I also tried to buy something on a different site and got rejected. Why is it showing $506 on the main page in PayPal when I can't even use any of it?

Same problem here. I am a long time user of Paypal, and created the account primarily for use with Ebay, but have expanded its use over time. Still my goto for Ebay but if I can't use it, starting to wonder why I should maintain it. Everything worked fine until the PayPal Credit switch. Very disappointing.

I had the same problem, then figured out how to fix it. Go to Paypal Settings (the gear icon), click on Edit in Payment Settings, then for Paying Online choose the Paypal Credit option. Try re logging into your Ebay account after you do this for the option to show up. I don't know if this will work for everyone, but it did for me.

Try having over $4,000 "available" and not being able to use it. I've had the same problem over a month now, and I'm so frustrated! If you get any helpful/useful feedback from customer service, please share. All I keep getting from them is, "It's just a bug, and we're working on it." Well...it's a "bug" linked to MY credit line! Not too comforting.

I've been having the same problem for the past couple days. I finally figured it out. The shipping address on eBay has to match the shipping address on PayPal. I guess it has to do with verification, if one account doesn't match the other, the transaction won't go through. Come to think of it, it's a good security feature but instead of denying payment from paypal credit, it should ask to make sure information matches.

I've literally tried all of these fixes and it still won't give me the option to select PayPal Credit. I'm about to just give up! UGH!

I am one more in the list, having the same issues, having a credit line approved without possibilities to use it specially on ebay, trying and trying and my efforts don't have any results. Now I am very dissapointed because I also seek for help but nobody can tell me what is going on. So, here I am in this forum crying with all of you... 😞
