PayPal Community

Well said above. I mean the "So called security module" is a COMPUTER SOFTWARE for God's sake. Softwares should be upgraded and fixed. The moderators post seem to be suggest like its been created by some divine force and there is no solution to it. Really strange and amazingly weired responses.....as (I repeat my self again) ITS A FREAKING SOFTWARE running on computers.....FIX IT IF ITS BROKEN. IF I have problem with my CC or Account I goto Bank and it gets fixed. SO what is the story with you guys. Anyways you are looking business and money, due to PayPal mess up.....nice work. ...

I am also surprised that the so called forum is without any replies or fix. There seem to be people having problems with the PayPal and no fix is offered. I am still not able to make payments with PayPal on eBay or otherwise, and there is no help being offered. No response even here on the forum.....Hmmm the stories about PayPal customer service were true afterall, as you folks are helpless and cannot do anything. Or to put it more appropriately MACHINES HAVE TAKEN OVER PAYPAL.... ... View more

I was also afraid that this could have been due to the recent attacks on the many of these websites but at least we should be informed and not suffer cause of this. THERE IS NO ISSUE ON OUR SIDE, been using CC continously and have been shopping online without a problem.   Anyways I tried paying via eBay today, when entering the PayPal login and password I come back to this screen....

I tried a purchase today at eBay, but Failed to send PayPal. Seriously annoying...I mean really annoying. Here is the reply that I got today;   It shows that the reason why you were not able to complete the transaction is because of PayPal's security model that is in place to help prevent fraud and protect your money. What happens is that for every transaction that takes place in the PayPal system, we have an internal security model that identifies patterns of behavior. This is similar to the way banks and credit card companies identify patterns of behavior when approving individual transactions. It does not look at you, your credit or your seller individually. It just looks at the transaction from a pure statistical basis. When our system does not allow a certain funding source for a transaction, it is merely an indication that the individual transaction fits a pattern that is observed to have potential problems attached to it. For everyone’s protection, we do not have way of turning this off since it is a self-regulating program. As such, kindly try to send your payment on a later time, or contact your seller and make the payment outside of PayPal. I know it is not the best answer for you now, but the protection that it gives you really is for the best.   BUT this has never happened since I have been using PayPal and have sent hundreads of dollar at a time. And now I am also not able to use eBay/PayPal. When I tried to make Payment on eBay today, I got an error with redbox at the top, saying, "Please enter the correct information for the following fields" BUT below there is nothing to select and it says Sorry this page is not available at this time....    And no one on this forum offering help as well?  ...

Hi   That is very strange. I am having the exactly same problem.   The problem started around 6th of Dec 2010. When I tried to send money for some online purchases. When I try to use the "Send Money" within PayPal I get the error message "This transaction cannot be completed..." there is no reason given or explanation.   When I contacted PayPal I was give the same random reason, and something about security mesaures that are automated and they cannot do anything about it, this was a very strange reply. Anyways I waited few days and then tried again, BUT failed again and the same error was given. I contacted again and received a long email about various reason that could be a problem. I went through each and everyone and there was no problem on my side, not only that I have been shopping on Amazon withouth any problem.   I was told that there might be a problem with CC and between PayPal, BUT, I was able to make purchases via eBay and make payments with PayPal. Also when I updated my PayPal account it deducted 1$ from my CC, so that means everything is Ok between the PayPal and my CC.   I sent a mail with explanation of all the reasons that were given to me and told that there is no problem on my side. I didnt even get a reply from PayPal (and this was 1 week ago), and that is not good.   I tried to send money today as well, but got the same error. I have emailed again in hope that I get a solution.   Seeing that I am not the only one who is having these problems recently, shows that there is some problem at the PayPal end. So what is the problem and what is the solution? Regards   Update: the error is displayed when i try to pay for an invoice sent to me by the seller (as mentioned above by the OP), message displayed is; "To complete this payment, add another debit or credit card to your PayPal account or Update your Credit Card or Debit Card." Hmm getting a new credit card is not very convenient option. ... View more
