PayPal No Longer Available Payment Option On eBay?

UPDATE 9-14-22

I'm receiving reports that once again, PayPal is not showing as an available option on eBay listings.

It looks like Down Detector is currently showing problems at PayPal and PayPal's Status page is showing API issues causing service disruptions for some products.

That's the most likely cause if you are currently unable to use PayPal on eBay, Etsy or other websites.

You may need to use alternate payment methods until the issue is resolved.

UPDATE 6-5-22

There appears to be another outage with eBay and Etsy users both reporting PayPal payments currently not working.

UPDATE 4-20-22

The issue appears to be resolved. PayPal is now showing as an available payment option on eBay listings again and DownDetector shows PayPal has been restored to normal service levels.

Sellers in the eBay community have noticed PayPal is suddenly no longer showing on their listings as an available payment option for buyers.

I'm wondering the same thing!!! They only option is Google pay or uploading a debit/credit card which I'm not going to do here.

There has been no announcement of any change in the payment processors accepted.

I looked at my own listings and there is no Paypal option.

When I checked one of my dotCA listings (I am a non-US seller and list on various sites including my home, Canada) not only was PP missing on both dotCA and dotCOM, but the Canadian site showed that payment could be made by Discover card, which is not accepted in Canada.

Looks like a nasty glitch.

PayPal no longer a choice?

I bought items this morning and used Pay Pal. I just tried to buy an item and Pay Pal isn’t even listed as a choice. I have to choose between Google Pay or entering card information. Why?

PayPal works everywhere except Ebay

I just wanted to report that PayPal works everywhere for me except Ebay. I bought delivery last night with PayPal. I bought groceries this morning with PayPal.

Why can’t I pay with PayPal?

Where did the PayPal option go in the check out? I had to put my credit card information in because the PayPal option was removed. I don’t want to have to put my credit card information down. I want to use PayPal!

I navigated to a random listing from the eBay home page and can confirm, the PayPal logo no longer shows in the payments section of listings.

I can also confirm if you add to cart and go to checkout, there is no option for PayPal.

The same thing happens on the eBay mobile app for Android - no options for PayPal available.

The issue is bubbling up on social media as well.

According to DownDector.com, PayPal is currently experiencing reported problems, but it's not clear if that is related to this issue or not.

The eBay System Status page is currently reflecting problems with Buying, though it does not call out this PayPal issue specifically.

I'll update as more information becomes available. If you're experiencing this issue, let us know in the comments below!
