If you're having trouble making payments through PayPal even though your bank account is linked, there could be several reasons:

• Pay close attention to any specific error messages you get when you try to make a payment. They may help you figure out what's wrong. If you do business or pay for things in a foreign currency, your bank may have extra security measures or limits in place that could cause your account to drop.

• Another reason your payment might be declined is that your bank might notice strange activity, like a lot of transactions in a short amount of time or spending that is different from how you normally do it. Also, see if your bank requires two-factor authentication (2FA) for online transactions, and make sure you've done everything that needs to be done during the PayPal payment process.

• To figure out what's wrong, you might want to clear your browser's cache and cookies since old information can get in the way of payments. You might also find it helpful to try a different device or browser, since some problems may only happen with the ones you're using. Lastly, make sure that the latest version of the PayPal app is installed. Updates often fix bugs and add new features that can help you with payment issues.

You might be able to fix the PayPal payment problems if you think about these things and follow these steps. If the problems don't go away, you should contact PayPal's customer service for more help.
