I bought an item on eBay earlier today. when I paid instead of the page that is linked to PayPal and comes up asking to chose how you are paying, then you choose the bank account, debit card or credit card that you want to use and then hit confirm payment and you are done was no longer there. , the page just had a button to click on for PAY PAL then the page redirected me to my PAY PAL account using the ONE TOUCH Log in (meaning I didn't have to put in my ID or password.) I then had to chose my method of payment and then I was redirected again this time back to my eBay account and then I confirmed payment.
Why has this changed, eBay has been linked to PayPal automatically, no redirecting needed. The above payment method takes longer. The Receipt I received from PayPal said the seller was e bay, instead of the eBay seller I purchased from and it doesn't' say what I bought or have any of the pertinent info that is usually on the invoice/receipt - just the amount of Purchase. NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT.
This is what normally happens when a person is purchasing an item from an online store. you choose to pay with a credit card or you have to pick PayPal and are then redirected to the PayPal account and then back to the store to finish payment.
Why has the auto link from eBay to pay Pal been removed???

Olivia, Thanks for getting back to me. I finally figured it out. The reason I had to log into PayPal instead of the checkout procedure automatically linking me to my Pal Pal account is because the seller also takes Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc. So I had to choose my method of payment which was Pay Pal, and then log into my Pay Pal account.
I had never before had any of the E bay sellers that I have purchased from take any other form payment except Pay Pal (at least not since ebay linked themselves to paypal and sellers quit taking personal checks or money orders) So I did not understand what had happened.
Still wish the seller's nameand/or seller's ID instead of "Ebay" along with what it was I purchased instead of just the total amount paid appeared on my Pay Pal Summary that I printed out, but did print out my paid order thru ebay.

Hi @motherofjustin,
I'm sorry to hear that the checkout did not work the way that you anticipated. Is this happening on all transactions, or was it just the one transaction?
I'm not sure why the seller would be listed as eBay rather than an individual seller. Was the purchase for a gift card, or for an item?
To examine the details of the transaction with a representative to get to the bottom of things, you may wish to reach out to customer service.
To contact customer service, please click Contact at the bottom of the PayPal website for available options, or reach out by PM on Facebook or DM on Twitter.
I hope this helps!
