Yes, it's been happening to me - really frustating! It only seems to happen with ebay items I purchase. I tried to buy something on ebay and pay for it but this happened - so I went to the sellers external website and purchased the item that way - paid by paypal and it was fine. So it seems to be just ebay purchases that this happens with....

im trying to pay for an item i  won on ebay and i keep getting this message We're sorry, but your transaction couldn't be completed using the selected card, Visa/Delta/Electron this happened because it has been refused by the card issuer.

 

however i know this is a load of rubbish as i have used the card without paypal to pay for and item after i got this error message and it worked fine with no problems what so ever 


SORT IT OUT PAYPAL

I have 2 ebay buyers so far that have been unable to make a payment.  One purchased an item on Aug 16th and could not make a payment after multiple attempts, as well as a clearing of cookies etc. The second purchase was on the 17th with the same problem. She has tried multiple times. I know it has nothing to do with my account, as I get payments from others without issue.

 

But why will these payments not go through? I don't get it!

I have been a paypal customer since 2002 and in that time have made and received thousands and thousands of £’s worth of payments using PayPal - until recently I have never had a problem. Every payment I try to make does not now go through even though I have money in my account and am still receiving payments for items I am selling on ebay. 

 

I have been told that  there are some system problems at the moment and additionally PayPal have told me payments are being declined because my IP address changes. That’s true because I am now temporarily based in Italy and Telecom Italia does not provide residential subscribers with a fixed IP Address!  I want to get this nonsense about the Security system not letting my payments through resolved. Surely this is a problem that other paypal users have when trying to make payments from abroad, if so I would like to hear about it.

 

PayPal's customer  service is appalling.

 

I did eventually get some sort of apology after I had emailed the PayPal MD, but they said the only way I could guarantee to make payments by PayPal from Italy was to open a PayPal account in Italy!

 

Crazy or what!

Is this still being Investigated? I have been put on Hold by a company i pay Monthly to for non payment.  I have made a new paypal agreement with them but that's not working either.
