I have a business account and I only receive this when sending money to international (outside of North America) clients. I've called PayPal's customer service over three times about this  issue and even they cannot explain why we receive this error when sending money (they always say there is no reason for it to be happening).

However, I noticed that some of my international clients are able to receive money. After asking my clients how their PayPal accounts were set up, I realized that people who do not have their PayPal account verified and connected to a bank account are the people I receive this error message with. Many of them only have their account linked to their credit card (or nothing at all) and that's almost a guarantee for me to receive the error.

That said, I think that if you ask your recipients to link connect their PayPal account to a bank account, the transfer should work without the error--just a thought, based on my experience.

PayPal literally scams us. Most of us have put money into our PayPal accounts and can’t even us our own **bleep** money. No one has solved this problem yet and no one will try to help either.

Sorry, we weren't able to complete your payment at this time. Please try again later. If you continue to encounter problems, please contact customer service. I've been getting this error! And the smartest customer service rep told me to wait for 48 hrs, he said it should work after 48 hrs without giving me any reason. I waited but it didn't work! I called again and waited for more than an hour to talk to another rep from the philippines and another smart rep told me that it is system generated and there's nothing they can do. He said I can just withdraw my money from paypal because my PAYMENT WILL NEVER GO THROUGH. I was transferred to supervisor and she just apologized and couldn't give me time frame or reason. I was connected to a manager who then suggested to downgrade my account my business to personal and try sending payments again after 30mins!!! AND IT DID NOT WORK! PAYPAL TRY SO HARD TO HOLD OUR MONEY!!! when I transfer to my own bank they either put it on pending or under review. when I send money they won't even allow!!! THIS IS ILLEGAL AND YOU HAVE THE WORST CUSTOMER SUPPORT!
