Has anyone had the issue of paypal constantly looping back through the payment
verification? Does this on instant checkout and on onsite invoices.
Becoming a real issue where i cant place orders.

I have had 2 customers write to me and say they couldn't place an order through
instant checkout because paypal wasn't working in the last week. Not sure
if it was the same problem.

I would suggest it would be a Bricklink problem rather than a paypal problem?
Bricklink has been having some issues the last few weeks.

Yes, it is very frustrating, does sound like the same problem. Only been the
last few weeks. Not sure if its bricklink or paypal side. Ive had seller ive
had to leave waiting
Because i simply cannot get the payment system to work. Have to send it direct
from paypal, but then they cannot mark the order as paid or shipped.

Beware, if you’re buying abroad (seller not in Australia) for less than AUD 1,000,
you’re committing tax evasion by paying offsite.
BL has to collect Australian GST and can only do that with Onsite (PayPal or
Stripe).
