Hey, so long story short when i try to buy stuff online with my paypal balance, i cant. It doesnt let me, on every page it says ''We aren't able to process your payment using your PayPal account at this time. Please go back to merchant and try using a different payment method.'' and it pops this error: genericError?code=UEFZTUVOVF9ERU5JRUQ%3D
and when i try to send money to someone it says: ''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 seriously dont know what to do i msged paypal support throught online chat and they said that my paypal is not limited and i have full access. I only have my real id on it no bank and no cards. But its not limited
If anyone knows how to fix this please tell me it means alot

Is your balance in the correct currency? Paypal can convert during checkout from a funded bank account or card BUT if its a balance you have to convert it first.
Second is it cleared and not pending?
Lastly have you done this >>>
Click on the profile tab (icon next to log out) > Click on payments third option along on the thick blue band top of page > second down click on update next to your preferred way to pay and put a dot in one of the options listed.
