You can become verified and link a bank account. Does not have to be a credit card.
Also, did you double check that Paypal's website is using the right payment option. I know I have to change paypal evry transaction from using my bank account and use my credit card instead. Ive not tried directly from a paypal balance though.

Seems like we still need a card linked to Paypal to buy Crysta however, It won't just let me pay for it using my Paypal balance.

I know what the issue is, for instant payments for most retailers paypal needs both a verified bank account and a verified credit card on file
once you have those it will let you use your balance for payments

paypal does this to all accounts. if you don't have both it wont let you do instant payments for most retailers, which is what is required for this.
if you have a bank issued visa or mastercard debit card you can use that. it is what I used for mine.

I try to buy some Crysta but when I enter my password to pay with Paypal, I get this message:

We are sorry, we are experiencing temporary difficulties. Please try again later. If this error occurred while making a payment, avoid duplicate payments by checking your Account Overview before resending a payment.

For some browsers, this problem can be resolved by clearing or deleting cookies.

Has this happened to anybody?
I cleared my cache & cookies like some places told me to but it continues to happen, any help? :s

Chances are paypal may be undergoing a maintenance or an outage. Try again in an hour or so.
Also you could try a different browser entirely, if you haven't already tried it.

Failing that, contact paypal's customer support: https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/he.../helphub/home/

[Melitiel]

That would make sense but that has been happening for like a week.

[Vespar]

In that case, contact customer support. Perhaps their technicians can help you fix it.

I feel like I must thank you again, SE. I cannot tell you how much easier having Paypal has made my life when it comes to paying for and playing FFXIV. Seriously, THANK YOU!

Ever since we got paypal as a payment method, I have had no problems whatsoever paying for anything on the cash shop or other services. I was finally able to get some dye, fantasia my character and buy my Yda minion. I am a happy customer <3
Once again Thank you!!!!

[Alion]

Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Anyone else having issues with paypal at the moment?
I just keep getting:

"Thank you for your purchase of Crysta.
Upon confirmation of your payment, Crysta will be added to your account.

* Please note that in some cases there may be a delay before Crysta is added to your account."

The paypal popup doesnt even appear, it just straight up sends me there after loading for ages and nothing's being added.

I'm having this problem now, deleted cookies, no popup blocker, three different web browsers, different computer, tried on phone, different internet company.
Still nothing, I select paypal, hit next and in about 5 seconds just jumps to the Thank you for purchase.
I should also say, if I select say mastercard it brings goes to the step of entering card number and everything. Though sadly error 401 stops me from ever using normal card on their site...
Anyone got anything that help?
