Thank you very much for your input! I have checked and the seller does ship to Germany and accepts payment via bank account through paypal. I can basically do nothing with my paypal account as my linked bank is not being recognized/shown to ke a s a method of pay anywhere. I tried sending money to a friend to test this and I was asked to add a credit card because once again I was denied the option to use my bank account to pay. I have tried contacting paypal via phone call and spent 30 minutes on a waiting line and then called again and waited for another 42 minutes without anyone picking up to help me. I am growing really frustrated with this tbh 😕 ... View more

Can't pay online

Hey everyone! I just tried to buy something online for the first time and pay. At checkout I am prompted to add a method of payment, even tho my profile settinfs have my vank account as a method of pay by default. It gives me the option to add a bank account or a credit card. When I add my bank account I get a message saying "The bank account you are trying to add is already in your account" My account is verified and registered. I have never had my bank account linked to a different paypal account and still I can't pay with it because of the above stated bug, even tho it should be working perfectly fine. I don't have any issues with my bank account and my funds are perfectly sufficient for the purchase that I want to make. I don't have a credit card and I do not intend to get one. I would really appreciate the help since customer support is only giving me unhelpful automated responses 😕 ... View more
