    Ebay/Paypal Problem
    I've just paid for an item on ebay via paypal which has been paid for (receipt and all), and now that I've tried to buy a different item from a different seller, my card has been declined by paypal.

    Does anyone know why this is?


    Thanks

    You have insufficient funds after blowing all your cash on the first item?

    I dont suppose you tried re paying for said item did you? Paypal can be funny sometimes...
    Its possible your bank might have blocked the transaction going through for whatever reason so might wish to speak to them aswell as paypal

    Yeah, I tried to repay 3 times, but it still declined. I contacted paypal again, and they said there was an error in the transaction because of something faulty in the system, that the seller could not accept/respond to, so it's all good thanks.
