Im trying to pay with gift cards, however one of them gives me the following message: "To use this code, please select one of these payment options". The "options" aren't displayed. So then I click the back arrow and select paypal. When I attempt to log in I receive the following message: "Error, we are unable to log you in at this time.

Debit Card Refund

by Synth7 Contributor in About Payments

I paid w/ debit card. The debit card was selected as a payment option. The seller refunded me and PP shows the refund is completed (exactly a week later). However, I don't see the refunded amount in my bank acc or PP balance. I've heard that debit and credit card refunds can take 30 days. But the status says complete, do I still have to wait 30d? ...

 I'm trying to buy an item on ebay but when I try to checkout with paypal I get the following error: "unfortunately we cannot process your payment at this time, try a different payment option like the one we've selected below". What can I do?   I have a credit card linked to my account. In addition, I have a paypal balance, enough to pay for the item so why am I unable to? Should I unlink my credit card and try paying just like that? Feedback in this matter will be greatly appreciated, thank you. ... View more

About receiving payments to paypal account

I have linked a credit card to my account, can I now receive payments for online work or do I need to link a bank account?   Also, I have a bank account that receives direct deposits. If I were to link this particular bank account would my direct deposits now go to my paypal account? Would this affect my bank account negatively or will my funds remain in my original  bank account along with my information. Clarification on this matter would be greatly appreciated, thank you. ...
