Issue adding PayPal account as payment method for Google Play

[IchorousAllsort]

I just tried to add PayPal as my payment method in Google Play. It says there is an issue with the PayPal account because it is locked.
At first I think it got rejected because the username was wrong. I first signed up to PayPal when Google used googlemail.com. I was used to using this email and forgot that I'd updated it to the gmail.com form. When I tried again with the proper current email it still didn't work and I got an error message as in the subject line , "Issue adding PayPal account as payment method for Google Play" with [OR-CPIT-06] at the end.

The only other thing I can think is that it might possibly be the 2-step verification. Anyone know what it might be?

Same problem, and I also suspect it's because of two-step verification. I don't want to disable that just for Google Play, though.

Thank you for your reply, Martin. Unfortunately I don't have an earlier link setup, so I'll contact the customer suppor about the situation.

It isn't the case for me. I used to have Google Wallet set up but that was never through PayPal.
