I've used paypal several times before to deposit funds into my accoun here. but now I keep getting this message
"Unfortunately Paypal do not currently allow customers from your country of residence to use Paypal as a funding method on Betfair."
I'm in the UK, and the UK is on the approved list, so what's the problem?
Anyone else encountered this?

Try using paypal.co.uk instead of paypal.com maybe?
Betfair won't let me pay via Paypal because I have Mastercard registered at Paypal as one of my forms of payment. Have you recently added a Mastercard to Paypal?
Just checked - there could be more reasons - this is from their help file:
Why can’t I deposit using PayPal?
Customers who use a MasterCard credit card to pay via PayPal may find problems making deposits. If the problem depositing via PayPal persists, please register your card in My Card Details and deposit directly into Betfair.
If any funds in your PayPal account have been generated by sales on eBay, you will be unable to transfer these funds to your Betfair account, as this is deemed a third party payment.
If you have, or have previously used an American Express or Amex card on your PayPal account, you will be unable to fund your Betfair account via PayPal.
You may have restrictions in place on your Paypal account that will limit the amount you can transfer before completing PayPal's customer verification process.
You can trust Betfair with your card details: Betfair protects sensitive customer data using SSL encryption during transmission and uses 128-bit SSL Verisign Class 3 Certificates.

I had the same problem last week over 2 days using Firefox. Tried a couple of dozen times with no success getting the error messages detailed above. The just for a laugh tried IE6 and it took the payment 1st time. Strange.
