I guess the only thing i can do is wait for a few days, I tried logging in different gumroad accounts, googling, using vpn but nothing seems working :(. Hope itâll fix somehow
@SammyG Is there possibly any settings you can change on gumroad to allow payments through paypal? Itâs always a problem every time I try and the last fix doesnât work the next time I want to buy something.
This is what I see in maitreyaâs shop and then in yours so Iâm under the assumption itâs some type of setting

This what worked for me.
I logged into gumroad went to settings scrolled down to billing removed my paypal account, then I went to my paypal account unlinked my bank card, then linked it again.
after that logged back into gumroad went to setting linked my paypal account again and it worked for me.

Unfortunately I dont have a section that says billing so I canât do that. You must have a sellerâs account.
Just tried to buy it in incognito and the same thing happened so we can rule out browser settings or the need to clear cache
As a workaround I used to go to my Gumroad account and then to the Discover tab:
And then I would type Sapien Medicine or better, the name of the product that I wanted to buy and after putting it in the basket Paypal option would be there.
But, I tried this several times last 7 days (on july 21 I used this method to buy a field and all was fine) and I canât even find Sapien Medicine or any of his products there:

I can find them just fine at: Sapien Medicine and at https://sapienmedicine.gumroad.com/
(Oops! Fixed it)

Yes, I can find it there too, but we are trying to find a workaround for Paypal, and going to Discover tab and typing there Sapien Medicine product was the only way for Paypal to show up⌠But now, I canât find them there.

IIRC, there used to be a hack where you could put your Sapien item in the cart and then go to any other creator and put any one of their items in your cart (donât worry, you can delete it before you submit your order). Then go to checkout and that would cause the PayPal option to appear along with the credit card option.
Then you can use your PayPal, review your order (this is where youâd remove that other item) and then submit the order for payment through PayPal.
You could try that.
Another factor is that PayPal seems to keep changing its rules and gets weird in certain countries with certain kinds of products. Sometimes, it lets you know that itâs doing that (with a special error message page, saying that PayPal canât currently process your payment from where you are). Sometimes, it just is weird in silence. (One of many reasons why the PayPalsux website is so active.)

Thanks!
But when I go to another creator in another tab, it will not show product (Sapienâs) in the basket. I needed to go to Discover tab and from there to find Sapien medicine and only then all products would be shown.
I donât know if that is making any sense.

Your explanation makes sense to me. I just donât know why Gumroad does that. It sounds like a Gumroad programming issue, which would be beyond Sapienâs control. I canât help you with that. Good luck!

Thanks man. What is puzzling to me that I was able to buy Sapienâs product just days ago. It seems that they are changing thing on daily basis.
EDIT:
I just tried to buy a product from another creator without any âhackingâ and Paypal is there alright.
So Iâm not sure if itâs Gumroad programming issue.

Bro, iâve been fuc**** making money to buy one of his audios, now i cant even find him in the discover to pay with paypal, this is awasome, really awesome⌠:(((((((((((((((((((((((((
You made money focus on that you can always buy the fields later on in some way or another
yes bro, but i had plan with the field i wanted to buy, now i have to change everything⌠But before it worked, i think sapien knows that glitch so he disabled showing his products in discover channel look - Gumroad Discover - Gumroad Help Center
If you donât want to use Discover, you can disable it in your [settings] at the bottom of the page.
If its true sapien dissapointed me
Why the hell should he do that? Doesnât make any sense for anybody.
It could be though that with some new updates from the site some settings were set back to default settings dunno though.
Yes, i doubt it.
But, i remember once i wanted to use this glitch to pay with PayPal i couldnât find him in discover, next day it worked, i hope it will be fixed soon
