I have had a Paypal account for several years and have never had any problems with it until now. I have only ever used it to make online purchases from retail sites, where there is a Paypal paying option, and when I click the button, I am redirected to my Paypal account in which I enter my email address and password, and then the transaction goes through without any trouble. Recently however, I attempted to send a relatively small amount of money to another Paypal account holder, using their email address. After logging in, I clicked the button to "Send Money" and then entered the recipient's email address. I was then taken to a page that showed "£0.00" and the only options listed below this were a button "Next" and one below that for "Cancel". The "Next" button was "greyed-out" and was clearly not available for use, so I was unable to proceed with the transfer. It is perhaps worth mentioning here that my Paypal account is linked to my bank (current) account, and also to my credit card, but the credit card is set as the preferred method of payment. Is it possible that neither of these options are suitable for transferring money in this way? I don't have any account-balance held by Paypal, as I have only ever used the account in the way that I initially described above. I would appreciate it if anyone could either confirm my suspicions here, or offer any other advice as to what the problem is, as I have a number of items that I am intending to try to sell online as a private seller, and I obviously need a reliable and safe method of receiving payments, as well as being able to send money to other people. Many thanks.
