Paypal Credit updates balance but does not download transactions
This has been occuring since the end of May, 2024. I've tried deactivating and reactivating online setup but no success. I also noticed that Paypal Credit is using EWC, not EWC+. No choice is given when setting up. Anyone else having the same problem? Thanks.

Please note that this is not the CC-501 problem that was fixed last July, I'm not getting any error. It's just that only the balance updates and no transactions are ever downloaded. It appears that their solution was to fall back to Web Connect but this does not download transactions, only the balance.

I just found this article about the changes to PayPal and PayPal credit. You have to add your checking account with PayPal and authorize all accounts. Then, everything will start updating. It was not updating for months, then I tried this, and it worked—no problem!! Quicken, and do better with your support by pointing people here. I am sure many people could have been helped if they had just known where to go to get help!

Thanks for the reply. This article was dated in March and I upgraded properly then to EWC+ authorizing accounts. This worked until the end of May when it just stopped. Then I noticed after reconnecting that it had fallen back to EWC and checking from mobile shows the authorizations are still valid. I'm getting the expected 2-factor prompt also. Also, I have no checking or savings account with Paypal.

Also, I reauthorized Paypal as someone suggested but to no avail.

Quicken Support escalated to Tier 2 and after looking around for a while, I am now in limbo waiting to hear further instructions because they could not fix on the phone. I wonder of my 2 factor authentication with the auth app is causing a problem.

I've been having this same problem with Paypal. It started out sometime last summer when I noticed that I was not getting any transactions downloaded when I did an update. No errors, just no transactions. The online balance was being updated though.
At some point, after trying many things, including disconnecting and reconnecting, I ended up where you are. Just a "we're sorry, it's not your fault", without even so much as an error code.
I thought the same as you, that maybe two factor authentication was the problem. I shot 2FA off on my account but still get the same error. I'm at the point now where I'm just assuming that Intuit has no intention of ever fixing these problems. Of the 6 different banking institutions I have in Quicken, only two work. And there is never any indication that they are trying to fix them.

My theory is that picking the PayPal FI only authorizes the PayPal account, not the PayPal Credit account. Since adding a PayPal Credit account does not do it’s own authorization, it will never see it. I’ve removed the PayPal authorization numerous times and adding a PayPal account which always authorizes. However it only says “Your Papal account is authorized” and does not list all accounts on the authorization screen like everyone else does. Adding PayPal Credit always goes straight to the login page no matter what the PayPal authorization status is. Since my PayPal Credit card is virtual and accessed usually only through PayPal, this looks like an oversite during the authorization process which should list out both accounts as being authorized.

I am having the same problem with Paypal line of Credit on Quicken for MAC. Was working fine until recently. Disconnected the account, and now when I go through the motions of reconnecting, I get a note saying 'no accounts found'.

Having same issue with both my wife's and my PayPal Credit accounts. Keeps happening with PayPal/Synchronicity, not sure why they can't collaborate successfully with the Quicken Development Team?
Also, wondering why the community moderators can seem to be actively involved in some banking connectivity issues (see previous Citicard sync issues earlier this year) but when it comes to PayPal, we are told to "contact Quicken support" directly?
I prefer it when they open a case thread that we can pin and see regular updates come in (even it's just 'no status for today' messages)?

I also have not been able to update PayPal Credit in Quicken Classic Deluxe since mid April 2024. It would connect with no errors, but not download any new transactions. I've tried Resetting, Deactivating and Reactivating Online Services. I also tried restoring from a backup (per Quicken support). I even tried with and without MFA setup on my PayPal account. Now when attempting to Activate One Step Update for PayPal Credit, I get:
I've posted comments in multiple community discussions, only to see them Closed with no updates. I've contacted Quicken Support via chat, email and phone on several occasions and to get no resolution. I just wish Quicken moderators would stop suggesting we contact support (who also can't fix the problem) and KEEP THESE CONVERSATIONS OPEN UNTIL THE ISSUE IS RESOLVED.

Having the same issue with PayPal Credit as all the others so it certainly does not appear to be an random problem.
