eBay problems?

[the_big_E]

Has anyone purchased anything from eBay lately using the 'Buy it Now' option?

I did the other day, but for whatever reason eBay/PayPal will not let me pay for this item. I've used both in the past without any problem whatsoever. I've contacted both and got automated messages. I get to the stage to add a credit card, and I do but it already says its registered on there, and then I cant do anything from that page.

I've conversely tried just sending the amount to the sellers email address, and it wont even let me do that.

Just wondering if anyone has faced simlilar problems lately or ever.

One thing that I would check is: are you really on the paypal page? If it doesn't have a https you're on a false page. It may look legit but it ain't.

I would also check the seller's email address, is it legit? Also is the seller legit? Check their feedback.....

BTW: It took me forever to get verified due to problems registering and or changing my credit card. BTW: if you add a card it will have to be verified before you will be able to use it......(that is where they put a small charge through and you have to fill in the amount and the exact date it occured to verify your credit card)

1. Is the seller in the US and will not ship outside the country?
This would void the purchase.

2. Is your credit card expired?
If your registered card has expired you have to update the card info.

i'm having the same problem. i emailed paypal and got a response saying i need to call since they are dealing with a high volume of emails. sounds like paypal is having problems allowing users to update/change credit card information.

Ultimately I used someone elses credit card and it worked fine...but that's dumb. You get stuck on one page, and cant do anything else...quite frustrating.
