@kernowlass    That's what I thought but obviously not, I told him there may be a hold on the funds until delivery is confirmed by me or when PayPal recognises the item has been delivered. He said it's fine. Ok cool. I try and send the money and comes up with an error ☹️   Can I ask what funding source you are using? -It doesn't even ask me what funding source I want to use, after I press "Next" when selecting Goods & Services, the error comes up. It doesn't even get to the funding source section. Is it confirmed? All my cards are confirmed, yes. Back up funding sources? Explained above Using a balance?  I have more than enough funds for the purchase and I am not trying to use my balance, just my credit card. ... View more

@kernowlass Thanks for the reply. The seller is based in Scotland and I’m in the UK. AFAIK, there shouldn’t be any problems regarding location of seller. They said they have contacted PayPal and they can confirm that their account is verified and confirmed. Could it be because they’re a new account hence why I can’t send them a Goods & Services payment? ... View more

Hello,   I am trying to send a payment by Goods & Services to a new account that was recently made by the seller because they have never used PayPal before. I can send a payment by Friends & Family just fine but once I select Goods & Services, it gives me an error and says my payment cannot be completed. Can someone help? I need to pay for an item but I want the protection.   ... View more

My account has been changed to Business, why?

Since the redesign happened, my account has been changed to Business from Personal. Why is this? Does it automatically change your account type if you reach a certain amount of payments received? I have made a couple of sales on Ebay, is that the reason why? If not, how do I downgrade back to a personal account? I don't want a business account as I am not a business. ... View more
