3. PayPal errors

Unfortunately sometimes there are problems creating or processing PayPal Orders. Here are some of the errors you might receive while creating your order:

• If you are redirected to an error page or do not receive an online confirmation email from us then it is likely that an error prevented the creation of the order on our site. If you are not sure please log into our site where you can see the status of your order under shopping history in your account settings. If the order does not appear there within 5 minutes then it was not successfully created. If you receive an email from PayPal stating that you have paid for your order but do not receive an email from WFA, please log into your account and check that the order was successfully created there. If it was not please Contact Us quoting your name, WFA account email address, PayPal account email address, the items that you ordered and any vouchers that you used. We will then be able to recreate the order and find your PayPal payment to link it to.
• If using Switch/Maestro with PayPal: While you are placing your order when you are redirected to PayPal they put you in a loop asking for your card details which are already registered with them and you have used with PayPal before. Even if you reenter the details it brings up another error message. PayPal have suggested entering the details of a different card. If you need further help with this problem please contact PayPal.
• ‘The buyer is restricted’ – PayPal have placed restrictions on your account and we are unable to proceed with your order. Please contact PayPal to resolve this issue with them.
• ‘The buyer cannot pay, transaction rejected’ – PayPal believes you are unable to pay for your order. Please contact PayPal and then let us know when the issue is resolved and we can retry to process your order.
• ‘The funding source is missing’ – The funding source you chose to use to pay for your order is no longer connected to your PayPal account or your order. Please contact PayPal to resolve the issue .
• ‘Transaction refused due to risk model of the buyer’ – PayPal have run a risk model against your account for security reasons and believe your account may be high risk and will not allow us to proceed with your order. Please contact PayPal to resolve this issue.
