I've tried 5 times now to pay for something at my local Home Depot using the PayPal function. I'm on my second day. I wanted to pay for carpet and installation. When the transaction was denied 3 times, I left frustrated because I knew I had over and above that in credit on my account. I tried to call but was given the old "we'll call you in 30-50 minutes" recording. So I went home, opened my account on my computer and called the Credit Number instead of the customer service number. I was told that PayPal has a limit of $1000 for instore purchases. Ok, so I went back to the store to pay for $1000 worth of the total with paypal and the balance with my debit account. No joy, still denied. The cashier tried to enter $950 with the same results. So I came back home, called the credit number again and was told that since I had tried to make the purchase more than 3 times, my account was locked. Try again tomorrow he said and everything will be fine. He also said I could pay for $1000 on PayPal and then pay the balance with another purchase using PayPal. This is the phone number and pin method by the way as Home Depot didn't show up when I searched for it on my PayPal App. I got several Autozones and Dollars Stores in the area though. So today after 24hrs I went back to Home Depot to make the purchase. I told the cashier to put $950 and then I'd try the remaining balance. It still denied the transaction... PayPal and Home Depot need to work out the bugs in this system for crying out loud!! I wound up purchasing 3, $500 eGift cards from Home Depot online and emailing it to myself. This is a great work around but what a hassle. I actually almost cancelled my PayPal account...
