I have never experienced any problems with my PayPal account when purchasing from eBay until now. For some reason when I go to pay via PayPal it allows me to log in and when I try to click the 'continue' button on the next page to confirm the payment, it then takes me to another page which says there was an error and this cannot be actioned and to try again or contact them? I have tried it a few times now and still getting the same message. Can anyone help?

Having exact same problem, I paid for an item this morning no problem, only now i can't pay for another item, keeps taking me to the same error page. Over 30 minutes on two occasions to paypal support listening to classical music. Surely they could record a quick message telling us there's a problem or send bulk messages to our ebay account. Awful support.

Hi there dan74,
I can confirm that there was indeed a known technical error for all customers checking out on eBay on Saturday the 14th of May which was resolved that evening.
Hope this helps and sorry for the wait on the phone!
