A PayPal payout failed to process to my account. What can cause this?

1
Check your PayPal account is verified
PayPal may require your account is 'verified' before it can be used for payouts. You must link a bank account to your PayPal to verify it. You can check if you have done this by logging into your PayPal account and checking the 'Wallet' section. Linked bank accounts should be shown, or if you do not have one linked, you should be prompted to add one.
2
Check that PayPal is not requesting ID or address verification
PayPal may require you submit ID or address documents before you can receive payouts. This usually wont happen until you have used PayPal for multiple payments, and will be triggered by PayPal's automated verification system. You can check for this by logging into your Paypal account, clicking the notification bell icon and checking for messages like 'Confirm your identity'
3
Check that your PayPal account is not restricted
PayPal may restrict your account for security reasons. You can check if your account is restricted by logging into your Paypal account and checking the 'Account' section. If your account is restricted, you will need to contact PayPal to have it removed.
