Am I the only person who has problems checking out on sites like Humble and Steam, when 2FA for Paypal is enabled?

It's a very consistent problem. Logging directly into the Paypal site is NEVER a problem, 2FA or not.

But there seems to be a lot of inconsistency in how different sites handle Paypal 2FA, and it seems as if many of them haven't updated or modified their checkout to use the most up-to-date paypal procedure, so that when 2FA is enabled, they don't know how to smoothly parse the login and pass things on to the next screen to ask for a code. Most of them seem to be trying, and then they get stuck. I've received various explanations for why this happens from Paypal support, or various denials and excuses or non-responses from various sites, but the problem continues. It's all very low priority to most, as if 2FA isn't a thing yet, when it is.

Thank god for Amazon Payments, because they recently enabled 2FA, and using it on sites like Humble or Groupees is never a problem.

How Does Checkout with Paypal Work for You?

Never any problems, 2FA or not, checkout or direct login
Have to temporarily disable 2FA to checkout, then re-enable when finished
What is this "2FA" thing that you speak of?
I hate Paypal and "they" should burn in hell along with their ex, eBay!
Yeah, Amazon Payments kicks Paypal's ass!
Dude, why haven't you converted all of your savings to Bitcoin?!

Bump because I used to have payment problems and not being able to buy something when you have the money sucks.
