I'm trying to send money to someone for a commission, and I got a message that 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.

Why is this happening? I've used Paypal many times before and I've never had this. I'm only trying to pay $5 and I have $6 in my account. How can I fix this? This person is expecting money from me.

This has happened to me after a week of being messed about

Same Answer. Hours and Hours on the phone with unprofessional, rude, and unhelpful representatives. The only thing they can say is, "you'll need to process this transaction outside of PayPal." What a joke. Send me to your competition and I won't be back. What an awful, awful company.

Come on PayPal. Seriously, people have had this problem for over 2 years and still no fix. This is the reason so many people stop using PayPal. When your account randomly can not send money. This is very unreliable.

Same message. Need help. Paypal support doesn't support you at all. I've talked to many representants and nobody did anything. Did someone find any solution? Thanks!
