Hi
So my Paypal account is linked to my bank account, and I have enough money in my bank account. However, no matter I cannot pay for anything through my Paypal, and it gives me Could not authorize the amount needed in PayPal.
I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could help me. I tried contacting Paypal through the phone, but they said nothing should be wrong with my account.

Hi @ArefVaezGhaemi,

 

Thank you for joining us on the PayPal Community Forums. I know it can be frustrating not having your payments go through. Payments can be declined for a number of reasons, but this Help Center article can help better understand those reasons, and what can be done to help the payment through: Why was my payment declined?

 

I hope this information helps you get your payment completed.
