When trying to pay a seller on ebay, I cannot make sense of Paypal even though my Paypal account is linked to my eBay account (my Paypal account in turn is linked to my bank account). Every time I attempt to pay by clicking on 'Pay Now' I am offered a log-in box to Paypal but when I do so I am asked (by error message) to add my Paypal Secure Key to my password. If I then go into Paypal to get a Secure Key number, and go back again to enter that in the eBay box together with my password as requested, I simply get the same error message again (plus, that I have been timed out). This has happened several times. I am stuck in a chicken-and-egg situation! Or, just going round in a loop! I have raised this issue with eBay who say it is a Paypal issue. Conversely, Paypal say it is an eBay issue! So I am giving up on Paypal unless somebody here can tell me how to pay a seller at a checkout by Paypal (and the problem does not just arise on eBay - it happens on other seller websites)! I thought Paypal (especially when linked to one's ebay account) is supposed to be a quick, easy and painless way of paying. It sure ain't!
