yeah its going suck if there make it where we cant use pp to pay are fee's that would be a stupid move on ebays part cause thats the easiest way to pay fees.
it was at around 11pm last night when i first noticed it. I thought maybe it was the account so i tried again this morn making them with new pop3 emails and such and still getting the same error.

I doubt that will change as using p/p gives them access to funds regardless of whether thay are available or not.
They get their fees from p/p regardless and then p/p come after your bank or cc for settlement as we all know.
Win win situation for e/b so they won't tinker with it.
I think it has to be a glitch. The first rule of ANY online business is to make it as easy as possible for your customers to pay you. If eBay would not accept payments from PayPal for their fees, it could mean lots of delinquencies.
Then again, this IS EBAY we are talking about, so who knows?
I got the same problem here
Trying to get a seller account, cannot choose paypal as autopayment method: (Sorry! We're currently experiencing technical difficulties and are unable to complete the process at this time.)
Start from 2-27 7:30pm, pacific time. Tried 3 times on 2-27 night, no luck. Tried again this morning, same thing. Called ebay to get help, no help at all. Just tried another time 10 min ago, same problem.
"Error - Unable to process the request. Unexpected error occurred."
If they got rid of PayPal, there wouldn't be an error, there would be a message stating just that. Plus, they would have announced it as it would affect thousands if not millions of sellers. It's a technical error of the connection between eBay and PayPal. These things happen.

For me, it's happening on the step where it connects to arbd.ebay.com which is then supposed to redirect to PayPal. My guess it's that there's a technical problem at the server that processes that request step.
I can set-up the reimbursement method as PayPal without problems, just not the automated payment method. It's likely just a technical glitch. eBay pushing everyone to accept PayPal and then themselves not accepting PayPal wouldn't make sense.
ok phew so its not just on my end. I tried a little bit ago still not working hope they get it fixed soon cause i got account orders that are needing to be done.
I am using banks to verify my PayPal, then use PayPal as auto payment method to sell on eBay. So, if this situation continues, I cannot sell anything, right? Is there any other way to bypass this?
Is it just me or is there a error with ebay? 
Must be fixed?
