PayPal No Longer Available Payment Option On eBay?
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 tried to buy a few things today and i cannot the paypal option anywhere ? Can you help me with the issue ?
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.
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.

So apparently @eBay_UK now won't let me pay with @PayPalUK, giving only the option for google pay or credit or debit card, why have you guys made things more annoying?

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!
