Hey, for the past three days when I select Paypal option on Steam I'm getting the following message: "We are temporarily unable to process transactions with this payment method at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience."

It doesn't even let me log into my Paypal so it's not account specific issue. I browsed Steam Forums and Reddit and it seems like people from certain regions (PL, HK, MX etc.) are getting this message recently source.

Anyone else getting it?

I'm in France.
I also bought a game on Ubisoft with paypal 2 hours ago without any issue so Paypal's not in question either way.

Okay, thanks. Yeah, Paypal is working fine, I just used it on another site an hour ago. But it's a no go for Steam, once I select Paypal I get the message from the OP.

If you have already linked PayPal account to your Steam account, then just try selecting an option for a new PayPal account when buying, and when asked for a new PP account login, just log in to your usual PayPal account when asked, I had this issue once, like two years ago, had an error with already linked PayPal acc, but fixed it by doing this, no issues since.

I didn't - I always log in anew when I buy something using Paypal.

Have you tried purchasing just a single product on steam? It could be an issue with one of the products you’re purchasing (sometimes happens with bundles).

That happens periodically. It'll probably be sorted out with the Tuesday updates.

Also double check the price of the game sometimes when it falls below 49¢ (typically with bundle discounts) steam will have issues processing payment.

The issue still persists - not account specific as my dad has the same issue and we're not even living together. Looks like country specific. Someone from Reddit heard back from supporting saying that they temporarily disabled Paypal for their country (and they have the same message).

I wonder what's that about...
