"We can't use your default payment method right now."

[decoded]

I receive this error whenever I try to make any additional "Pay in 4" payments. I can't use ANY of my saved credit cards (of which I have about 7) to make payments, only my debit card and checking account. I'm using a Windows 11 desktop PC. I've cleared the browser cache, deleted cookies, tried multiple browsers and I'm seeing the same error every time.

In the same boat ad everyone else making payments were fine until today now my card is an issue. Had to log into my banking app just to make sure the previous payments I made went through had me thinking my card was compromised at first. Hoping it's just maintenance and will be resolved before my upcoming due dates cause I'm not adding another card just to hope that one works.

Glad to stumble on this as I was having the same error message, never seen this is all the time I have used it.  Also was able to make payments thru the App when I saw the problem last week, but also that method stopped working yesterday.

I did try to make a purchase with the Pay in 4, and was able to make a purchase and all my cards were showing available.  Bad glitch to have especially stopping our ability to change the method, but likely we will be the ones penalized for not making our payment on time if it reoccurring fails due to it.  

Hope it resolves soon.

This has happened before and they confessed it was an issue they were working to resolve.

I’m having the same issue. They better not charge any late fees. Probably an issue between them and the bank. Someone probably holding out on paying the fees. Never have this problem with Afterpay.

Yup having the same issues with the Paypal App to do an advance payment of my Payin4. I only use the iOS app to do stuff. So might have to log into the desktop version when I get a chance to see if I can do it through that way.

I tried desk top no good

I just saw my Paypal iOS app got updated 2 days ago with the release, so it could be a bug perhaps. Never had an issue until now. Hopefully Paypal fixes it, it’s definitely something major regarding payment integrity. Does anyone have the older app version before 8.65.0 and it’s also not allowing you to advance a payment with a PayPal Payin4 plan?.
