    I just clicked on the AdminBB Premium Membership page and followed that to PayPal. When I got to PayPal, I was shown this:

    I assume that's referring to your account, because my account is a Business account...I dunno. Could be a PayPal problem. Could be a XenForo problem. Just thought I should mention it.

    I'm not gonna lie, I'm not entirely sure I was actually going to buy the premium membership, I just got nosey :)

    Maybe PayPal have changed their API or something, as ProphpBB had a similar issue with their Premium subscriptions

    Are you a verified user (is it connected to your bank account)? I don't think it's an XF problem, since I had two successful transactions on my forum last week, but I had to be verified in order to actually confirm the transaction and get the money into my account.

    Am I or is he? I'm verified, yes, and with a Business account. I have a...lot...of transactions going in and out of my account.

    I get the message whether I'm logged into PayPal or not.

    In order to accept donations your account needs to be a business or premier account. Have you changed that recently? I was able to buy Premium way back a few months ago.

    Try contacting Paypal about it.

    Is your PayPal account either a business or premier account? That is most likely the problem, as I said, PayPal did make some API changes, including changing some features around so it's probably not a Xenforo/Plugin problem, but more a problem on PayPals side, etc.

    Need to upgrade your account to Business or Premier. Best you call them up for that and they should walk you through upgrading it over the phone.

    You'll most likely want a Business Account if you want to take credit cards (up to you). It also gives you a bit more freedom with their API and such.
