PAYPAL

[RAT-T]

HI GUYS,

HAS ANYONE HAD TROUBLE CONNECTING TO PAYPAL? THROUGH EBAY OR DIRECTLY TO THEIR SITE?

I HAVE TROUBLE OFF & ON, WHEN I CAN'T CONNECT, IT SAYS "CANNOT CONNECT TO SECURE LINK OR SOMETHING"

I do once in a great while if on a mobile device. Not sure if that helps.

Been using it for years and don't recall ever having a problem.

Same here. But now eBay is letting you pay directly through your own credit card, you don't have to go thru PayMePal anymore, so I haven't used it in a while.

I hadn't been on eBay for a couple years until lately, was surprised how easy it is to pay now. Once your credit card # is on file, it's literally a one-click checkout.

What's nice about PayPal on eBay now is that they offer and "Pay after Delivery" option for things bought there.

Be careful though..........not all seller's auctions have this option! If you think you may not have to pay for a couple weeks, watch out as that is not known till after you've committed to buy the item!

I particularly like that, too. It lets you keep your money in your pocket, literally, until you see if the item you bought actually matches the description in the auction. This has eliminated the need to go through the hassle of getting a refund from an uncooperative seller on several occasions lately when the item I received was blatantly different from the description.

In a couple of cases, the sellers apparently knew they had been trying to palm off carp, as they said "just keep it" instead of wanting it shipped back.

Refund-credits were instantaneous.

That could conceivably be a browser issue, or even an anti-virus glitch.

Very rarely, I've encountered the PP site being apparently offline for maintenance or upgrades too.

YEAH, I THINK IT COULD BE A LITTLE OF ALL THE ABOVE, MIGHT NEED TO UPDATE TO WINDOWS 10 ALONG WITH EVERYTHING ELSE

No problems connecting to PayPal on my win XP and using older browsers.I paid for a dozen transactions (on and off eBay)  just this week.  Stay away from Win 10 spyware!

No issues here. Sold and bought a number of guitar parts this week with no problems.
