Hi @Temp20231024CL,

Thank you for your post!

I do understand your frustration with this. The payment options on a website depend on the merchant. The merchant chooses what options they have on their website to process payments. 

If PayPal is no longer an option, it would mean they have chosen to remove PayPal. I would suggest you contact them for further details on this. You will need to use an alternative payment provider to process your payment to this specific merchant. 

Thank you!

Because Vinted knows there's scammers on the platform and Paypal is the only surefire way to get your money back if scammed.
If you refund it through Paypal they lose money instead of the seller, they don't want that and want everything to go through their refund system cause they aren't obliged to do anything.
