Please read this if experiencing payment issues

I’m having trouble subscribing via Paypal.

  1. Onwww.unrealengine./payment I select Germany, Paypal, mark the checkbox and click “Checkout with Paypal”.
  2. On the Paypal page that comes up I enter by Paypal account credentials and click Einloggen (log in).

is what I get after the log-in attempt: “Wir können Ihre Anfrage zurzeit leider nicht verarbeiten. Kehren Sie zu Epic Games International S.a.r.l zurück, und wählen Sie eine andere Option aus.”

Translation: “We cannot process your request at time. Please return to Epic Games International S.a.r.l and select a different option.”
My account definitely isn’t locked (I can log in via the Paypal website) and contains more than the 19€ I expected to pay.
The weird part is: If I pick United States, I get to accept the payment. I just didn’t do that yet because I don’t know about the implications of not including VAT, so no idea if that would have worked.

I don’t have a credit card associated with my Paypal account, only my regular bank account. Then again, the message doesn’t even point out that may be a problem.
