PAYPAL question, selling need help!

IowaCubs1 · 08-09-2014, 08:40 PM

Trying to sell an item to a member on here and when they try and send me paypal it says:

Sorry, the recipient does not accept payments using this payment method. Please try another option.

I have no idea why it would say this or anything like that.

Please helppppppppppp!

are they trying to use balance or a cc or bml or what....maybe you have your settings set to not accept one of them....just a thought..probably wrong but just a thought lol

Is the person in another country?

IowaCubs1 · 08-09-2014, 09:04 PM

Not that I'm aware of...

chezball · 08-09-2014, 09:12 PM

then you need to call PP

IowaCubs1 · 08-09-2014, 09:13 PM

Yeah I am not sure. I have found another member here that had the same problem but I have no idea what it could be.

Does the buyer have a confirmed address. If you log onto Paypal and go to profile and the selling tools then block payments there is an option that wil block non-confirmed addresses on off Ebay payments. That is one possibility.

IowaCubs1 · 08-09-2014, 09:35 PM

I clicked selling tools and block payments and didnt see that option anywhere

He's sending goods right? May have gift payments locked on yours.

xbignick · 08-09-2014, 09:38 PM

Request money from him and have him try to pay that?

IowaCubs1 · 08-09-2014, 09:39 PM

Yeah I also tried that and he said he got the same denial. it's so weird!! Never had a problem.
