Every time I try to purchase something on eBay using my mobile number and pin number, rather than me e-mail address and password, I get an error message and can't check out. Does anyone know why? Number and pin are correct as I can log into the mobile app using the same details. In have also previously used mobile number and pinnto purchase. Any ideas?

Hi dcfc_fan,
Welcome to the PayPal community forum. We are always happy to have new members.
If this is continuing to happen I would recommend that you try de-activating the pin and re-activating it. This can sometimes help resolve it.
Here's how to unlink your mobile phone:
- Go to www.paypal.com/uk and log in to your account.
- Click Profile near the top of the page.
- Next to 'Phone', click Update .
- Click Unlink and then select Deactivate phone.
- Click Unlink.
Note: Unlinking your mobile phone does not delete the phone number from your PayPal account.
Please let us know how you get on as it may help other members
