Hey, I dont know what the problem is but I am able to login to my paypal account but when trying to add it to DP it isnt working : Digital Point - Error PayPal returned a null value when trying to retrieve your account info. Failure, Authentication failed. User account is not confirmed. I am wanting to make a post to buy sites. The same email / password is being used, I tried it a few times Thanks
Look like you don't have verified PayPal account. In some country I don't know list but in my country (India) PayPal required us to provide some additional information in order to get verified PayPal account.
That error is coming from PayPal, not us. Meaning you need to confirm your PayPal account. Their error message is a little vague. Maybe it means you need to verify your PayPal account? https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/acc/seal-CA-unconfirmed-outside Either way, I'd make sure your PayPal account is verified and email confirmed and all that.
Thanks for the reply, can you tell me where I can change my Paypal details on DP please? Not sure what is wrong because I have the account over 10 years and use it a lot.. Thanks

Hey, Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately this still isn't working. I have 2 accounts with paypal, one business, one personal, I tried with both but they arent linking. I am getting this on both: Both accounts are working fine, I use them daily so I don't know why it isn't working here? Would appreciate if someone can help please Also, why is my Paypal account required if I am looking to buy sites here? I dont always pay for sites via Paypal... Sometimes escrow, bank transfer, card etc..
Paypals sight shows two type of Paypal accounts, Personal Account and Business Account. It is my understanding for buying and selling only the business account works here. That said you should be trying to link your business account here.
Check out this link: http://downdetector.com/status/paypal/map/ It's been an ongoing thing with them the last 2-3 months. It's really frustrating, but there's nothing we can do but wait.
Couple things... 1. PayPal doesn't allow API usage on personal accounts. They require you use a business or premier account (makes sense really since a personal account isn't designed for selling things, just buying things). So you don't need to bother trying with your personal account, it won't work (again, this is PayPal's restrictions, not ours). 2. Linking your PayPal account is not required to buy things here, only to sell. Where exactly are you seeing that requirement? I guess if you are trying to buy something, the error PayPal is giving about linking your account might be moot since it's not required anyway.
