Hi DrewWintjen,
Thank you for posting and welcome to the Community Forum!
I’m sorry to hear about this.
Sometimes a payment attempt may be denied for security reasons, however it may also be a web browser issue.
Have you tried clearing cash & cookies, changing the web browser or changing the device?
If it won’t help, I would recommend you calling PayPal Customer Services by clicking onto Contact us on any PayPal page as they will be able to review your account and recommend the best course of action.
We also provide support via Social Media (24/7). You can contact us directly on Twitter @AskPayPal or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/PayPalUK.
Hope it helps.
Anna
