 i have transferred $175 from my bank to my paypal balance and i am trying to buy something for $125 but it keeps saying "sorry but we can not complete your purchase at this time". the funds have been in my paypal account for only 1 day though i had to wait 7 days for it to transfer and it transferred on the 3rd and i waited 1 day but still cant buy anything. i also have tried to buy stuff on a website called playerauctions for $30 and it says on paypal it goes through and then i go back to the website and refresh and it says that order is cancelled and it doesnt charge my paypal, can somebody please tell me why i cant buy anything even though i have 175 in my paypal balance??

Do you have a back up card linked to your Paypal account?

Are the funds in your balance in the same 'dollar' currency as the person you are paying accepts?

ie is it CAD and you are paying someone in CAD or is it USD and the seller accepts USD.
