Tried to pay seller-getting error message from PayPal

I won 2 auctions on Ebay 3 days ago. I tried to pay with PayPal, one worked, the other didn't. This is the error message I have been getting:

 

 

"This recipient is currently unable to receive money.

Your purchase couldn't be completed

 

I have been trying to pay multiple times a day and have sent 2 emails to the seller, with no response. There is no other payment method for this seller. The sellers Ebay account is fairly new, so maybe the PayPal hasn't been finished being set up. What options do I have? At this point, I don't even want the item, as I could have bought it elsewhere by now. 😞

Chances are the seller does not have his or her PayPal Account and/or eBay Account setup properly.  That error message usually indicates that their email address has not been confirmed.  It's the responsibly of the account owner to ensure that it is setup properly.
