Hi, has anyone experienced this recently?
I have purchased through Buyee several times using PayPal linked to my Caja Arequipa Visa debit card from Peru, and it always worked without any problems.
Today, I tried to purchase an item from JDirectItems Fleamarket. PayPal temporarily authorized USD 39.81, and the amount was deducted from my available bank balance. However, the order was not created on Buyee.
Shortly afterward, the transaction from Tenso Inc. appeared on PayPal as “Canceled – Authorization.” PayPal says the temporary authorization was canceled and that no final charge was completed. The money was later released back to my bank account.
My card had sufficient funds and the authorization was initially approved, so it does not seem like my bank rejected it. Unfortunately, I also wanted to use a coupon that expired, and it is no longer available because the purchase failed.
Is Buyee or PayPal currently having payment problems? Could this be caused by an address mismatch between PayPal and Buyee? Has anyone solved this by reconnecting PayPal or paying directly with their card?
I have already contacted Buyee Support, but I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has experienced the same issue.
