Hi everyone,
I'm glad to hear that some of you have found a resolution to this error through customer service or through twitter. I wanted to let everyone know that this error can be caused by many different things from card declines to the PayPal security system. Our customer service and twitter team will do everything they can to help but there may be some situations that can't be fixed by PayPal or situations where the PayPal security system will not allow a payment to be sent. There may also be situations where we need to verify your identity to ensure that your account is not being accessed by someone other than you.
Your security is our top priority and I know most security measures can make things frustrating at times. Thanks for your patience and understanding and thanks for using PayPal! 🙂

I have a similar problem with paypal and I get this message:-
error
- If you encounter this message more than once, please contact PayPal customer service.
This Paypal message wasn't much help either:-
Unfortunately, we cannot give you detailed information as to why our security system has blocked your transaction nor can we override or manually change the security settings. This is a standard procedure for all transactions going through PayPal and is in accordance with our User Agreement.
What can I do now to complete my purchase?

Hello
I have the same problem. Been trying to pay all weekend and this is the first time I have been able to reply on these boards.
I have sent emails to paypal and one of them just bounced back saying they couldnt answer questions by email! Groan.
I have been able to pay for a couple of purchases by using the 'guest' account, but then they stopped accepting my card.
Hope someone helps soon....

Hi there hobocorp,
It sounds like your card is being declined by your issuing bank.
Check that your card details are correct by going to 'Profile' and then 'My Money'
I'd encourage you to contact your card issuer and speak to someone who deals with online payments.

This actually works! For those recieving this error and have a Mobilephone capable of using the ebay app, then try completing your transaction through the app, its simple to maneuver around and fairly self explanatory.
