Default Can't use PayPal as automatic payment method on eBay

Everytime I try and add my PayPal account to my eBay as the automatic payment method I get this message
"Your transaction cannot be completed. Please return to the merchant."

Anyone know how to fix it?

Have you got a card or bank account added to PayPal?

Yes I've got both a card and bank linked and confirmed, it was working fine before but now all of a sudden it won't let me add it to any eBay account

May well just be a glitch

Try it on a different browser. A lot of the time that fixes the issue

Default Re: Can't use PayPal as automatic payment method on eBay

It's the same issue the OP in this thread had

https://www.aspkin.com/forums/uk-eba...pal-issue.html

It used to work when I'd add it by trying
Account > Seller Account > Payments and refunds > Set up automatic payment method

but now I always get the same message "Your transaction cannot be completed. Please return to the merchant."
Any other ideas on what to do?
I've tried everything I can think off but always get the same result.

Would it work if I bought a PayPal from here to add it as the payment method or try using a VCC?

You can try both those things, but if it’s a glitch then it’s a glitch. Takes PayPal time to fix these things

What VCC's work best for the payment method?

Would a VCC definitely work for it as well?

Thanks for the help by the way.

I was going to try and add the VCC straight to the ebay account.
Or would that not work?

In my experience just trying again later does not work.

Add a card as the automatic payment method. Then later on change it to paypal.
