Same problem here, tried to pay for an item since yesterday at least 10 times.

It stops at  "processing....."  Glad I'm not alone with this issue. Got no fix or help so far from eBay.

You are replying on a post that is nearly a year old !!

I know this issue is in the past for you but perhaps this can help others.  Simply open a new browser and log into your PayPal account.  Odds are the transaction processed find but the redirect link back to the original vendor's website had issues.  If your stuck in the "Processing" loop, simply log in on another browser and confirm PayPal shows your orders as "Completed".

@kernowlass

Who cares if the post is 1 year old?  What's your point?  Obviously this is a recurring problem and no solution was given.  Do you suggest unanswered problems not be addressed by the community if they reach a certain age?

Thankfully some people respond to older posts so they can be indexed on search engines & found by others who have the same problem in the future.

No what i am saying is that the person that has had the problem over a year ago has probably sorted it by now as it was a technical issue so its not worth responding a year later !!

And no i don't respond to post over a year ago as I have often responded to more recent ones with the same issue  AS LONG AS they were not technical issues which change on an often weekly basis with different reasons for the problem.

If someone has a similar problem they can start a new thread.

But as I have helped and got kudos from nearly 6000 users then i don't need you to tell me what or when I can post or what I say.

Thanks for this helpful post, maxwellatl. I had exactly this problem, and because you posted this advice here, I have been able to fix it without having to create a new thread, and quite likely not getting an answer – as happened to Kate5. Good on you!

I have this same problem and with the search engine that I used this forum came up on the top of the list to help me. Thanks that posted the original question and to those that followed up with a positive attitude a lot later. No thanks to those with ego and negative snobbish attitude to hinder the process, by just saying to start a new thread. I could care less how many +ve reviews someone may have gotten, I just need an answer to the persistent problem. Ps get a life.
