I have set my bank account as my preferred method of payment, but it keeps asking me to "add a payment method" when I try to complete payment. I was able to make a first payment to the same friend without any problem. How can I fix this?

Hello @JoseAntonioP,
Welcome to the PayPal Community! I'm sorry to hear you're running into some issues using that preferred payment method. Here's a summary of Help Center articles that are All about Declines and some steps to take after you encounter them.
I hope that helps!
