"Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

"PayPal email - The email address you entered isn't linked to a PayPal account. If you don't have a PayPal account, you'll need to set one up with this"

Has anybody else got this with new PayPal accounts when listing on eBay? It's been like this with new accounts for me since Monday.

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

Fully Verified Account?

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

The accounts are never verified when I first list like this but it's never been a problem before.

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

It was alreayd linked. Am I really the only person experiencing this? I've tried multiple new eBay and PayPal accounts.

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

Yes. I was getting this earlier. However, after changing it to auction everything went through smoothly.

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

BIN really isn't any better than auction this way; I can't believe that this has been going on so long without resolution.

eBay, pull your damn finger out.

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

i had same issue, i have unticked "require immediate payment" and worked, not able to edit and tick it back. i just hope buyers will pay :)

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

Some eBay sites won't let me list at all, even with immediate payment unticked... this is so damn stupid.

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

Can you test with another ebay account.
I think my one problem account was suspended because ebay dont recognize my paypal

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

Same problem Here. i need to uncheck Require Immediate Payment to list my item. same issue with multipe eBay account.

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

Same here keep getting

The email address you entered isn't linked to a PayPal account. If you don't have a PayPal account, you'll need to set one up with this email address so that buyers can pay you.

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

i believe only gmail pp accounts have this issue, i didn't have any problem with yahoo pp account.
Anyone getting this error on yahoo or other accounta apart from gmail ?

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

After I saw your post yesterday I tried a Yahoo email but the same thing happened.

I've tried gmx and it didn't work.

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

same problem for me too, tried different emailprovider,
had this in the past when paypal email wasnt verified but now its verified and i even send money to the new paypal account, still getting this issue, any other suggestions except unmarking immediate payment?

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

i have been facing this issue since a week ago
I called Ebay and PP gave me BS answers, I think it is a glitch hit all the accounts

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

Having the exact issue with new stealth PayPal accounts. Anyone got around this problem?

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

I have the same issue.

Anyone found a solution yet?

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

Same issue here, but this is happening with me when the ebay and paypal country are different.

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

Damn i face the same issue .. wtf with 2 ebay accounts already

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

Only resolution I found was to use my friend's PayPal accounts (aged accounts) for the immediate payments. The stealth accounts I used were less than 1-2 week old so I am guessing we have to age them a bit more to get the immediate payment... hoping it's a bug though.

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

I have PayPal accounts from since this crap started (15 days now) and they still don't work; only accounts made before that work for me.

This is pretty disgusting honestly. 2 weeks and eBay still deny that there is a problem; on some eBay sites this problem stops you listing altogether, immediate payment ticked or not, so some people haven't been able to sell at all for 2 weeks now.

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

Did you sold anything by doing this way? Can you receive money?

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

yes, but you just need to be careful to check if you received the money, some buyers just buy it without making the payment.

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

Same problem here. I have tested 5 accounts now.

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

So we can't create new accounts as well as can't list items on Ebay now?

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

If you are talking about ebay.de, yes, it is completely impossible o list if you have a new PayPal account. It's really pathetic after 16 days now.

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

Same problem on all my stealth accounts registerd after August, 19. Doesn't matter ebay.de co.uk or .com. I think we all should bombard ebay support with this problem. So they will found a solution quicker.

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

I have made so far almost 20 accounts and all got same problem, today i received email from ebay, they told i should not use immediate payment, when i remove it, they simply restrict your account and asking from more verification, once i done verification on one account, the removed restriction but after i listed again they suspended it cause i dont have paypal on file.

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

Also i have bought stealth from forum but after i started to list, they did same, restrict, than asking verification, after verified they suspended cause they cant find paypal linked to ebay, but i have already linked ebay, paid ebay fees, bought an item using paypal.

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

one of my account was verified after uplaoding docs. and PAYPAL was verified by 2 small deposits.

Paypal linked into the Ebay, the same problem didn't go.
So I just listed on item with payment only accept bank trnasfer.

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

Got message from ebay regarding this problem, it all explains the situation going on ebay right now. FOLLOWING:

Hello Brodie,



Thank you for writing back to eBay with regards to using the "Require Immediate Payment" option. I will now help you further regarding this. Please pardon me for the length of the email.



I have reviewed the account and kindly allow me to inform that this is a known issue wherein our seller members are facing inconvenience using "Require Immediate Payment" option and we are aware about this. We have heard about similar issues recently from other sellers as well and I’m extremely sorry for the inconvenience it has caused to you.



We are sending as many samples as possible at the earliest for our technical team’s review to get to the root cause of the issue. Rest assured, the technical team is already working on this on priority and we will resolve the issue on this as soon possible.



Brodie, meanwhile, I would like to reassure you that as our seller member you are always protected under our seller protection policy and would request to kindly go ahead and listing the items without "Require Immediate Payment" for now.



In case if the buyer is not making the payments, you always have the leverage to file the "Unpaid Item Case". Once this case is filed, we send repeated reminders/notifications to the buyer for payments and if they still do not pay, you can go ahead and close this case as "Payment not received" and all the Final Value Fees charged will be immidielty cancelled by the system.



Once the UPI case is open, the same can be closed after 4 days from the date of opening till 36th day of the opening of case, choosing the reason whether the payments have been received the or not.



For your future reference, I have hereby shared the steps to file this case (for desktop site):



1. Click on My eBay present at the top right of most eBay pages> Account

2. Click on 'Resolution centre'

3. Under the 'I sold an item' section', select the 'I haven't received my payment yet' option and click on Continue

4. Enter the item number and click on 'Continue'

5. Submit



I would also like to take this opportunity and inform that we at eBay take such buyers seriously who do not care to pay for the items after purchasing.



When the Unpaid item case is closed as Payment not received, the buyers account will be heavily impacted with an unpaid item strike and the Final Value Fees charged will also be credited back. This unpaid item strike keeps such non-paying buyers in check.



Rest assured, we are already looking into the matter of "Require Immediate payment" option and should be resolved soon. Meanwhile, as mentioned above you are always protected against unpaid buyers.



I hope you can understand our case and appreciate your kind cooperation regarding this matter. It is in times like these that we badly need your support as we do get really concerned that our customers are not having a good experience as we always aim for.

So now guys, just sit and wait :) i will update more once i get more info.

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

Thanks alexgolden35.
chosing "immediate payment" or not, not working at all

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

Anyone got this working ? Or any new people facing the same issue ?

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

So it is still not working today.

Ebay technical team sucks!!!

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

Why need to guess what happened, why not contact ebay and ask them what is happening ? Of course they will send to paypal or try to find problems in your account, but dont accept their stupid answers, ask for detailed answer and solution and boooom, you have answer -

Ebay answer after 1,5h conversation by phone, repeating same question at least 30 times:

Hi XXXXX, thank you for reaching out. I want to let you know that I have sent a report to our Tech Team and they have confirmed this is a known issue and we are currently working on resolving the issue. Bear in mind that this could take a few days to be resolved but as soon as I have further news for you, I'll be in touch immediately. Thank you very much for your patience and understanding of the situation and for the screenshots you send, they were very helpful when filing the report. I'll be in contact very soon and I have a great day! 🙂~ Cinthia

Understood and we do want this going for you. However it may take a bit of time. The team has pinpointed to fix the issue within 60 days however most likely be done sooner. Then again, in rare occasions it may be delayed. Because of this I don't have an exact date I can promise you. I do apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience. ~Chu

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

is this only for german or european accounts or even us accounts?

as far as i understood its only for new ebay accounts?

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

You clearly missed the post by alexgolden35 a few posts above yours.

It has nothing to do with the eBay age; it only affects accounts that you use new PayPal accounts with. So if you use a 1 month old PayPal wih a new eBay, it will work just fine.


Most eBay sites will let you list just fine if you untick immediate payment but Germany won't let you use new PayPal accounts at all. It's been 22 days now, which is just absolutely disgusting.

Re: "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy it now" not working
 

Have the same trouble... But my acc has this trouble only on ebay.de... With "require immidiate payment" or not the same trouble. I can sell from ebay.com, but not on ebay.de. For somebody it could be a solution, but not for me. Please, post here any news.
