    I made a purchase yesterday on ebay and I am unable to pay by paypal. When I click the paypal pay now button the following message appears.

    Transaction Cancelled




    This function is temporarily unavailable. Please try your payment again later by returning to eBay and clicking the My eBay button.

    Just wondering if anyone else was having problems with ebay purchases or maybe the problem is just related to the store I am buying from, I could send the money direct from paypal but the guy I spoke to in paypal advised not to as I would not be covered by ebay's insurance policy. I am taking the option of insurance from the seller as it is only 99p,so I suppose I would be covered that way. Also does anyone have a contact number for ebay, I searched their site but could only contact them by email.

    Thanx in advance :)

    How do you fund your Paypal account?

    paypal account is with my credit card. I have since won and paid for another item this morning on ebay and paid with paypal with no problems. So maybe the problem is with the sellers account although he has 100% feedback and many sales. I have sent him about 4 emails now regarding this so I will have to wait and see how things go.

    Yeah it looks like the seller may have some problems accepting Paypal, a quick email to him should sort that out. Perhaps he closed his account or something but the problem is not at your end.

    Finally got it sorted. Seller gave me the addy to send money to so I was able to send the money direct, even logging directly into paypal if I clicked the link to send money and then the ebay purchase tab to the right it still wouldnt work. But if I just clicked on the send money tab and further down list it as an ebay item and list item number if filled it out automatically and let me send that way. strange :( . Anyways all sorted ... I hope lol, good price too , worked out at just over €40 for a 1gb xd card with free shipping from usa, £26 for item and 99p for insurance. Thanx for reply... cheers :)

    I'd imagine with that particular message it is the seller, send them a message and see if their Paypal account is still active.
