Paypal suddenly doesn't work consistently after last update

I use Paypal to pay for most everything on my ipad pro. I have used Paypal for what seems like centuries but is probably only from about the time it first started being available as a payment option on EBAY. Which is a few years of trouble free service.


Suddenly when I attempt to pay with Paypal on some websites I just get a blank screen or an error message that says that a device from my location is sending a large amount of requests and I need to turn this device off in order for the transaction to be completed.


I haven't changed any setting. I have enouogh money in my Paypal account for the purchases. My ipad pro is fully up to date. And to further confuse the issue I can still use Paypal on EBAY. Hudson Music or Gerder Music or a lot of other websites will not work at all.


I think it has something to do with the last update.


I am also a member of a family plan so I can't update my payment methods because I am not the administrator. But until recently there has been no problem and Paypal worked flawlessly. So being part of a family plan shouldn't be a problem ( but I am throwing the family plan in there just to paint a full picture).


What is going on? Any ideas?


When I want to use Paypal I have to go to my Mac Pro tower computer. Paypal works perfectly on that Apple product. Say what you want about older Macs, but they work with no drama. And they aren't getting all of the latest Apple updates. That is what makes me think this is related to the last update but what do I know?

iPad Pro (1st generation)

I am unable to pay for items on eBay via PayPal since 18 Feb 24 using my iPhone 14 Pro Max. I ordered an item, clicked on to PayPal, typed in my email address and password, but then just got a blank page. It goes through ok on my PC. Is this a problem with Iphone14pro max?


I can get into PayPal app on the phone, just happens when using eBay to pay.


I have contacted PayPal but they weren’t very helpful.


Anyone else had this problem recently?

Since you said this is a problem in the newest Apple iPadOS operating system, I can’t do anything aside from direct you to Apple support:Official Apple Support

this is a user to user interface meaning we can’t help with problems that might be involved with a new iOS update because we can’t edit apples iOS it could be a problem with PayPal but based in the info provided it’s unlikely that it is.

Sounds reasonable. Frustrating situation. Probably has something to do with Apple wanting everyone to use Apple pay or else some kind of security upgrade conflict.

I will contact Apple tech support and see what they can do. From researching on the Apple website and googling the issue I am not the only one to have this happen.

Thanks for responding so quickly.
