Something went wrong. There was an issue adding your PayPal account because the payment method selected on PayPal was invalid. Please update the payment method with PayPal or select a different form of payment. [OR-PPEH-03]

https://www.theverge.com/2014/5/15/5721192/google-play-store-android-paypal-integration From the sound of things, the only valid payment method option available to link the two accounts is either paypal credit or bank account via debit card. Probably a requirement on Google's part. If there's a work-around at all it will probably be on the Google end. My guess is that it's simply using that information to link the accounts, not as an actual payment method in the play store.

I have the same error you need to be over 18 google checks your bank if you are this age or over 

way around create a new account that isnt linked to your bank and put funds in by your other account

I had an issue with this as well, I followed the instructions of adding paypal through the pc website which worked great for me, got paypal to show up in my google play account, then it said unavailable below it, after this I turned on parental settings within google play and set up a code there, and bam not only did the paypal account work but it will give you the option to set up the account as well, basically set up parental options within google play and it should work, at least it did for me, I hope this helps! cheers

Try checking your hosts file, firewall or some app which modified it or blocked some google domains.

 

It started to work for me when I disabled "magisk systemless hosts" and also removed gstatic on my /system/etc/hosts file (removed: 127.0.0.1 www.gstatic.com) . Had to reboot and wait until network cache was gone.

This fix did not work for me, PayPal is not shown as an option when I log into the Google Play website.
