Wasn't sure where to put this but..

Anyone else buying from ebay using paypal and being forced to use PayPal credit?

Just logged in to sort through transactions and i have noticed the last two have been made using PPC when i already have all my payment methods (DD & DC) set up and fully funded.

No, but maybe that's the default option and you have deselect it?

eBay is constantly trying to get me to link my accounts so it goes through with one click, but I refuse, because if my eBay account should be compromised they can clean out my Paypal account.

Paypal seem to be adopting a psychotic SkyNet subsystem running their operation.

I tried to buy some Ebay tat 3 weeks ago (a frequent occurrence) and got bot banned until I'd sent them blood, semen, passport and proof of address.

I bought the item using a cc instead and ignored the Paypal neurosis.

The next day Paypal removed all account restrictions.

I haven't checked out of Ebay using Paypal since.

Last time I tried to buy something off Ebay I noticed that it wouldn't let me use my cc but tried to force me to use Paypal.

I bought it on Amazon instead.

Pillocks.

There’s an option to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for your PayPal account?

If that's the option that sends a text to a mobile, then as I rarely use mine it's easier just to log in as required.
