Hi
This is for information, I'd like to know if somebody has had this problem.
I missed an auction yesterday (300250964660); Gixen message was : "Auction Restricted - No PayPal account"
But I've got a PayPal account for ages (the seller was accepting PayPal indeed), and I was using PayPal without any trouble 7-8 hours before the end of the auction, paying for a previous one.
So this is not a Gixen error I guess; today, when I got connected to PayPal website I was asked to modify some socalled wrong informations on my account (phone number webpage). But nothing needs to be modified as all the informations are still ok.
WTF? |

eBay has had this problem several times in the past - apparently ebay and paypal accounts get "unlinked" in some way. I would go to eBay and repeat the process of linking your paypal account. |

There is a thread on the eBay Bidding Discussion Forum regarding this. It describes step-by-step the process for linking your eBay and PayPal accounts and for checking that they are actually linked. Here's the direct link to the thread:

in fact this post should be entitled "dumb ebay" -- which is kinda pleonasm-ique. |
