Ebay New Automatic Payment Method Error!!!
 

hello, recent days i found it really difficult to link paypal as automatic payment method to ebay. first i add a vcc to verify my paypal. and after verfied i list the first item which comes to the page where i need to add automatic payment method. i choose paypal and login and then it shows this error every time i try.

"We are sorry. we were unable to set up pre-approved payments. Please try again later.

please return to the mechant and choose another way to pay."

i can't understand why this happening. please help me !

This usually occurs when there is some security issue. Check your IP address also.

Please don't double post. You started another thread with the same topic.

i checked the ip.. but there is no wrong.. i also waited couple of days but didn't work either. sorry about if i reposted. i couldn't find a solution throgh browsing old threads and so that's why i made this thread so it would be helpful to me and someone else in future.

Re: Ebay New Automatic Payment Method Error!!!
 

You mentioned you already added a VCC to this PayPal. Does it have a bank (VBA) attached also?

Be sure your PayPal is fully verified.

If you are still unable to add the Automatic Payment Method on eBay, try a prepaid card (such as Vanilla Visa) which should work for now.

paypal is fully verified. i have made stealth before with this same method before. but recently this problem comming. first it came this problem but when trying after one or 2 days it resolved. but now it has become a fixed problem.

That's really odd, try adding a gift card to the eBay side. See if that works.

Re: Ebay New Automatic Payment Method Error!!!
 

tried. didn't work it friend.

Re: Ebay New Automatic Payment Method Error!!!
 

adding a different card will work. but so far i only had to pay for paypal verification it went fine while adding to ebay. so i am now worried as this error comes. adding a new card is costing me and as i make multiple stealths to sell different product niche; this is a big problem. can't afford to buy extra cards as this is not for a single account.

Re: Ebay New Automatic Payment Method Error!!!
 

Did you try the gift card route I mentioned?

It has worked for me in the past. Then I added the PP back in.

Re: Ebay New Automatic Payment Method Error!!!
 

Ever since the divorce, eBay tries to distance itself from Paypal more and more...

Pretty soon eBay will amputate Paypal from itself. This is why it is happening.

still the error came even trying new tricks which instructed so far from members

Re: Ebay New Automatic Payment Method Error!!!
 

When you said error as in with the PP or did you actually try our advice with the gift card?

Re: Ebay New Automatic Payment Method Error!!!
 

no i didn't add gift card. if i added a seperate card it will work. i know that. but that will not solve the problem. so far i made stealth by only linking a verified paypal to ebay. so i am curious to know why now only i cannot do this. using a seperate card will allow me to bypass this but it will not actually solve the problem because if i need to make another account then i will also need to get two cards to do that. i am sorry if you think this as foolish. but i need to know the root cause for this error and to solve this without using a seperate payment method.

Re: Ebay New Automatic Payment Method Error!!!
 

The root cause is eBay slowly wants to remove Paypal.

This is a common error on UK ebay and has been for many months.

The way I resolve it is to add a card first on ebay then go back in and change it to Paypal after a few days.

It also isn't essential to have Paypal set up for automatic payments. Just leave it as a VCC and make one-off payments using Paypal.

Re: Ebay New Automatic Payment Method Error!!!
 

I only get that error through the new automatic payment page; the older version of the page works every time.


Use the following link before you complete your listing to get the old page. If you try it after, you'll probably just get the newer version of the page. Of course this means you will have to start over again with a new account if you've got the new page already.

Re: Ebay New Automatic Payment Method Error!!!
 

I like having the VCC on the eBay for one account and on the PayPal for another account, this way you make a single VCC go further and get two separate accounts from it.

Re: Ebay New Automatic Payment Method Error!!!
 

I forgot to add, that link is for the UK. For the US, the link would be

Re: Ebay New Automatic Payment Method Error!!!

Re: Ebay New Automatic Payment Method Error!!!

I’ve had this and I’ve contacted PayPal and I was advised it’s because I’m using a vpn and I was told to switch off the vpn which I did not just contacted ipburger CS and they replaced the ip and everything was fine.
