PayPal demanding card instead of bank a/c?

Weird.

 

I'm buying a low value item on eBay*. Go through to the payment page and PayPal says my linked card has expired and I need to add a new one. That's true. It expired in December but I have a always paid through my linked, verified bank account before now.

 

For some reason that's not an option.

 

Is this something the seller of the item is demanding?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* for a great bit of fun, why not speculate as to what that item was?

It's because the payment is made via Direct Debit and they require a backup payment option in case that fails. If it worked previously, even though the card had expired, then they must offer a grace period where it'll still work for a while before you update your card details.

 

Item = Amplifier.
