Ignore the copy and paste response, which is completely unhelpful. It has nothing to do with Paypal Is Different, or not exactly. obviously, if you had another payment method to uee, you would not have selected PPC in the first place, Paypal has decided thag simply being approved for the credit line is not good enough, they have their "proprietary security protocols" for approving purchases, with zero guidelines or up front (or ANY) disclosure of what those guidelines are. What does appear to happen, though, is that one single "questionable" transaction according to those rules not jusr declines the one purchase, but effectively locks the credit line for ANY purchases for 3-7 days or longer. Your only recourse is to leave the account be, don't try any purchases via credit, for 3-7 days and try again. Do not bother calling Paypal or Paypal Credit support. They will both blame each other and si ply give you the runaround.
