Trying to list an item to sell and get error message about active Paypal account grrr

[JaneEyre70]

I've been using Ebay for around 15 years, and have always had the same paypal account. I've got 160 + feedback, never had a negative and no issues with sales or purchases. I've been trying to list a coffee table, and every time I list the blasted thing, I get an error message saying there is no active paypal account for the email address you entered. I've contacted Ebay, gone through all my account settings and both accounts are linked and verified, and I've never used another email address. Neither account has been hacked. Ebay say it is a Paypal issue, and vice versa. I've always sold more expensive items really well on there, and am getting no luck on local selling sites. I am desperate to list the thing and am getting very stressed with going round in circles. Has anyone else had the same??
