I hope its ok to ask this here, but I am confused and don't know if its a bug or purpose or if I missed something.
Some time ago, I had been able to purchase anything with Paypal.
Yesterday when I tried to renew my epic membership, it just lets me pay via card.
And I can't seem to find any option to change that, and pay with Paypal.
Thanks in advance for your help.

It's not you! Paypal is temporarily disabled due to administrative nonsense on their end.
During Epic Week, Paypal suddenly decided that they wanted me to resubmit all my tax paperwork, but has refused to accept the original documents that they've been using for the past who knows how many years. They said they will now only accept "confirmation" paperwork from the IRS. This is paperwork that can only be requested by phone (holding with the IRS took an average of 3-5 hours in the before times, before all the layoffs) and then when you finally get through, they say it takes 6-12 weeks for them to send the forms to you.
I've spent full days on hold with the IRS several times now and have yet to get through. Planning to do it again on Wednesday.
At this rate wondering if it makes more sense to just make a whole new paypal account rather than trying to get this one back...

Oh dear! I was going to ask about that. Do you have an online account with the IRS? I got one a while back when I had to pay tax one year, and use ID.ME which the IRS has as an official identification provider.
Oh, I am so sorry to hear. Thank you for the clarification, I was absent a while and thought its me getting old.

My understanding is that this is for individuals, not businesses and EINs?

*smacks head* Of course. I believe you are correct. Not sure if you can get the forms you'd need with and individual log-in.
Yeeeah. I think I am just doomed to spend tomorrow on hold again. Hopefully that will be the last time 
Got up early and got into the hold queue before they opened, finally got through to a person 
Progress being made!
