For three weeks I have been trying to make a payment on my PayPal credit account. I have been using the same Chromebook that I used to set up the account, that I have made payments from for a couple of years. How do I get around this crap?? I can't get ANY help from PayPal.  Like most people, I don't have hours to sit around and wait for them to message me or call me. I JUST WANT TO PAY THEM. I have NEVER gotten a 'Bad Request' page on any other site.....except PayPal. Anyone go any advice?

I have the same problem, I too just want to pay them..

I get no help from paypal but if you are late with the payment they hit you with fee's.

I don't have time either to wait for their phone call.

Yesterday, 12/18/2020, was the first time this started.  Ended up going to another machine.  No problem there.  Rebooted the main all -in-one, had Norton go thru their cleaning process and yet its still there.  cannot make payments.  Why?  The other machine has the same operating system and Chrome. Very irritating to say the least!
