Status: Investigating We are continuing to work on a fix for payment processing. Sellers will experience a disruption with some debit-card transactions that may fail or be unavailable due to an issue with a third-party payment-processing partner. Sellers can use another available payment method as an alternative for now. We understand how important it is for all of our services to be running for your business, we'll be back with further updates as they come to hand.
