Why am being re-directed to the merchant every time I try to make a payment for goods purchased on ebay. I have had a PayPal account for over 12 years what the hell is the problem. This is the message that I keep on getting when I am trying to make a purchase and make a payment from my account.

This transaction is invalid. Please return to the recipients website to complete your transaction using their regular checkout flow (what on earth does that all mean?).

Other message is, Return to merchant. At this time we are unable to process your request. Please return to and try another option.

How many other PayPal account holders have had this problem?.

A recent buyer tried to make a payment for goods he purchased from me and had the same problem.

I dont think PayPal are interested in peoples problems, as nobody from PayPay want's to respond on the forum.

 I've all of a sudden got a problem making payments from ebay, I get the following error.

 

Please go to www.paypal.com to confirm your credit card before you complete this purchase.

 

I've made over 50 purchases over the last 2 months without problems with this card and all of a sudden I get this error?

 

WHY?

 

I login to paypal and there is no report of a problem nor is there an option to confirm card?
