Problems with Paypal payment?


Hi folks, 

I can't seem to get the Paypal method of payment to connect correctly.  Is that no longer supported?  Has anyone gotten that to work when the list an item for sale in the last day or so?

I haven't sold on here is a while, so the interface is new to me, but when I get to the part where I have to select payment methods, I can select Paypal, but then a popup window opens and nothing happens...

Any advice?

So basically speaking, fraudulent sellers are the only ones who fear PayPal’s customer satisfaction guarantee. 
Tonydennison, PayPal is the only assurance that a buyer has when conducting a transaction with a stranger.

Consider for a minute how eBay screws over the buyer to protect its sellers (rejecting all claims when item arrives in much worse condition often with concealed damage; and removing negative feedback that might illustrate how dishonest a small number of eBay sellers are). If not for PayPal, the customer would be stuck with having paid for a product and receiving one that is of inferior condition. 

The “nazi” mentality you describe applies to eBay just as much, if not more. If you wish, I can cite specific examples of transactions with such corrupt sellers. 

So, in the absence of PayPal, we’re presented with the classic dilemma: how to ensure controls are in place to protect buyers. 
There’s a growing movement (in canada anyways) for sellers distancing themselves from PayPal. Too bad really, because it (moving away from PayPal) implicates a seller as having something to hide.
