I am also having this problem, but from customers attempting to place orders from my store. It keeps stating that the transaction was unsuccessful, please try anyother credit/debit card. When a customer then tries another card, then the same error message comes up.
I experienced this exact same issue about 2 months ago and it lasted for weeks.
If anyone can help or shed some light on this obvious issue with Paypal, that would be great?
