Ebay unable to complete request

[ChrisDB]

I've just bought an item on ebay. I can go through the payment process fine, but once I get to the button to comfirm payment, it gives me an "unable to complete request" error.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

pathetic comedy of crap support , broken systems , lack of info , and inept support - the paypal employee makes it sound so easy just contact us . it isnt that simple to contact ebay or paypal as tehy alsways direct you to the cheap alternative - community based support or VIRTUAL agents . its a joke . imagine barclays ora real bank doing this ramshackle inept support , there are pages and pages about this crap comedy error online
