I'm having the same problem.
My customer's from Singapore, I'm from Malaysia. She attempted to purchase a seat for one of my online classes. Tried several times, was declined.
Before this, it was okay. I noticed this error(?) started happening since February. She paid for the same class using PayPal in Jan 2023 and Dec 2022 without any problem. This month (Feb 2023) it's a different story.
Please help.

Hello @LittleFingers,
Welcome to PayPal Community Forum and thank you for posting!
I'm sorry to hear that you have experienced trouble with a recent transaction. As part of our security measures, we regularly screen information and payments transacting through our system and if there's a risk found, our system may decline the transaction. In this case, you may ask the sender to make the payment again at a later time. If there are any issues with your PayPal account, you may receive an email with additional information or visit Resolution Center to see if there are any notifications regarding your account status or unresolved steps to complete. If you need any help, you may reach out to our customer support team through the available contact options on our website so that our representatives can help you accordingly.
Best Wishes,
Ayesha
