Hi QWERTYkids,
Thank you for contacting Support.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
That seems to be an error with Paypal. Where there is an error, regardless of what activity you do, Paypal will detect that. When that happens, it is advisable to wait for a few minutes before trying again. Some even suggest to wait for a few hours.
Please try the following:
1. Clear your browser cookies for Jotform and Paypal.

2. You will be asked to log in again to Jotform.
3. Edit your form, and click the Connect with the Paypal button in the Paypal settings.
4. This time, you will be required to log in with Paypal.
Hopefully, the connection will work. If not, I would suggest contacting Paypal to see if they blocked your authentication and to see if they can release that. Paypal will verify your details to process your request.

Sorry for the frustrations caused.

Sorry, yes that has worked thank you. However I hadn't realised that Paypal charges you. Can you use a personal account to link to Jotform please? Or does it have to be a business account? Thank you

Yes, you can use the PayPal Personal widget with a personal PayPal account to receive payments.
I hope this is helpful. Let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.
