PayPal issues, by Rolex on Feb 9, 2012 14:08:18 GMT 1, Hi all
I am trying to purchase something from the US via PayPal, & it won't let me pay because I'm outside of the states, does anybody know what I or he can do to solve this problem, I'm a uk buyer & he's an LA seller. I've bought things before from the states & he's sold things before to Europe with no problems. I'm guessing it's something to do with his settings on his PayPal account , but he can't find anything wrong.
Any help much appreciated
Thanks in advance

PayPal issues, by rottenredrooster on Feb 9, 2012 14:29:11 GMT 1, Can you send the money via PayPal to his email address?
Or are you trying to check out via a website... perhaps he has set the item so it can only be shipped within the States.

I hav'nt tried sending to email address , only his PayPal account which is different. It's a forum member friend that I am trying to purchase from.

I have had issues paying internationally for ebay auctions because the settings the seller had on his ebay listing but never had a problem going direct. Are you trying to do it as a gift? That might be an issue or at a minimum you will have to pay all the fees. Gift payments seem to only save money if it is a payment within your own country.

Your Paypal acc is linked to your bank acc.
Sometimes they stop unusual transactions (even if you have done it in the past).
They will probably contact you anyway.

I have used google check out a couple times buying from online stores. But I don't know all the ins and outs. Do they have the same level of buyer protection?

I don't catch it.
As far as I know Paypal Account is always attached to an email address.

PayPal issues, by tsteve on Feb 13, 2012 1:04:30 GMT 1, I had a similar issue recently trying to pay in British Pounds from the U.S. in a large dollar transaction. Even though my Paypal account was confirmed, and unlimited, i.e. up to the amount in my account, there was a maximum amount limitation, and despite calling Paypal CS, I was eventually told to have the seller break the amount into two invoices, which then went through.
The other odd thing was that payment directly out of my bank account was not an option for the currency conversion, and I had to use my card--which it tied to the very same account--in order for it to go through. I wonder how many additional dollars Paypal makes on the conversions. Considering the volume they do, they can simply broker the exchange themselves. But, OTOH, their exchange rate was better than the "preferred rate" that I was quoted by my Citibank banker.
