Paypal is 'country specific' so advice often depends on what country you are in. As you have not added your country to your community profile or said in your post then we can't help at the moment.
Advice is voluntary. Kudos / Solution appreciated.
I am from Bosnia and Herzegovina. And in my country, paypal is working. I have used paypal for shopping many times, but for the first time I need to get a payment and that is not possible. I do not know what the reason is.
