I'm trying to use my PayPal account to buy a game in the Microsoft store and I keep getting the error message "cannot authorize payment method". I linked my bank account to my paypal but it still isn't working. Any ideas on why this happens?

As you have not added your country to your profile (so we can see when we hover over your username) or said in your post which country you are in then sadly can't advise.
Paypal varies a great deal country to country so you need to tell us where you are on this worldwide community forum.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.
