On attempting to log in, a page opens asking me to authenticat my accoount, and then attempts to call me on my supplied land line phone number.
Despite pressing this 'Call' butted many many times the attempt to call lasts seconds and will not connect. I have tried to 'authenticate' over a few days and each and every time it fails to connect to my telephon.
I can assure you that this number is current, and everyone from family to friends are using it near daily, but not paypal, who seems unable to connect.
This means I cannot buy on ebay and pay with my linked paypal account, nor can I sell as I am unable to log in the manage those funds.
As such, there is little point having an ebay, or paypal account for that matter, as I cannot also buy from any other sources online.
I feel I have little option but to close my ebay account, as any fees incurred I cannot access, even to paypals fees. As such, by closing my ebay account I have held, and in good standing, for a sum of 13 years, which is also the time I have held the linked paypal account, I would also have to close my paypal account, which is now impossible as I cannot access it to close it.
Currrently, as sin right now this minute, while im typing this, i am trying to pay my final and total fees from my ebay account, but yes you've guessed it, I cannot log in to paypal to complete this payment. All leads to a screen that cannot be acted on, as in no button to continue can be pressed,as the page itself is preventing it.
Currently I now own ebay £13.99, but due to this I cannot complete it. Not sure how understanding Ebay are going to be, but I've screenshotted everything, and should this become a legal issue I have no doubt it would rule in my favour, for such a paltry amount.
If paypal are unable to complete the authentication be actually completing the call, that has been attempted multiple times, I ask that could you supply me with a direct telephone number or email address and I can request the account be shut from there.
This is completely unacceptable as I cannot have a paypal account that is dormant yet still open. This is a security risk, and as of tomorrow Im contacting my bank to block all future transactions that appear linked to this account, as those cannot be attributed to myself.
I would like to hold on to both my paypal and ebay account, but paypal appear to have deemed this impossible.
