Since sometime in September 2020 I have also been having this problem with no longer getting the option for PayPal's "Pay After Delivery" which I love so much !
...My problem started ever since eBay changed their checkout setup like in the image below;-
Since eBay changed to the new checkout shown above, when I select PayPal for payment, It then prompts me to click on "Pay with PayPal" (you will finish checkout on PayPal) See image below;-
...Now once you've selected Paypal for payment (see 2nd attached image) and click on the "Pay with PayPal" tab a pop-up window then opens and it prompts you to log into your PayPal account to complete your purchase/payment. I can't show this image because it contains all my bank and card details but it is a pop-up window that you log into and is basically your PayPal account (wallet), It only gives 2 choices/options ... Option 1 is to pay for the purchase with your bank account and Option 2 is to pay for the purchase using your credit or debit card. THERE IS NOW NO OPTION TO ENGAGE "PAY AFTER DELIVERY" AS A FORM OF PAYMENT.
On the older eBay checkout system (like in the 3rd image below) it still works for some items but not others, it sometimes gives me the "Pay After Delivery" option and if that does not show then I just hit the backspace and then keep on trying back and fouth before it eventually gives me the option to book my purchase on "Pay After Delivery" and pay for the purchase in 14 days time which is VERY HELPFUL to me.
Now with the new eBay checkout that seems to be taking over rapidly, I am forced to DECLINE a potential purchase BECAUSE THERE IS NO PAY AFTER DELIVERY OPTION ANYMORE.
The bottom line is eBay is breaking its own neck by preventing PayPal from offering Pay After Delivery in their new revised eBay checkout which now sends me an email saying "You have authorized a payment to eBay" I thought that I was paying the seller ?? not eBay ! - so now I see, we now pay eBay and eBay then passes the money to the seller - Right ? ...so if you're now paying eBay directly for your eBay purchase, eBay BLOCK PayPal from offering "Pay After Delivery" - NICE ONE EBAY ! - YET ANOTHER CHANGE FOR THE WORST !! 😞
I think that I did a good job of explaining WHY some of us are not getting the option for PayPal Pay After Delivery any more.
It seems that there are still 2 different eBay checkout systems in operation, the original older checkout which gives more payment options and the newer eBay checkout where if you select "PayPal" you then have to complete payment off eBay and on PayPal's pop-up window which now only gives a user 2 payment options (bank or card) and as the days are passing by, eBay are gradually phasing the old style (and better) checkout system out as now more and more items are only offering the new style checkout when attempting to purchase something on eBay.
This week I have declined over 10 potential purchases from items ranging from £15 - £150.00 because there is now no option to buy now and pay in 14 days time when I would have more spare money to do so comfortably. I hope that eBay and PayPal read my 2 posts and take action as there are 100's of people like myself who are now put off buying on eBay because of the new eBay checkout which seems to block the option to use PayPal's Pay After Delivery.
