Down today too - I didn't check this board before posting the same query on the registry board this morning. I was able to get one payment out last night by repeatedly clicking the retry button, but nada today.

I finally got a real-life message this last time telling me their credit card processing system is down. It suggested I pay with PayPal balance, cash transfer, or PayPal credit, or wait till a later time. Better message than 3004 or 3005.

I'll take the cards & flowers when I'm living and the BS when I'm dead!
I wonder if the problems has to do with their system. I shipped out a ton of packages on Thursday paying with my paypal card, even though I signed a credit slip, nothing was taken out. I still have the full balance, however when I paid for an ebay item I won, that was instantly taken out. I hope they get it working soon!
OK, I just got some info and made two transactions, you have to keep hitting the try again button and go from there..do not go back. It is slow but it works, you will not lose info as you go through the pages you just have to keep hitting try again.

I've been doing that, hammering the try again button, until I power through to the last screen, the one where all you have to do is hit the "PAY" button and it's done - one more little action and I can put the payment to bed and out of my mind - one last click - when I do that I get a screen that says transaction has been cancelled. There is no "try again" button - the only option is "okay".
This bu11s**T is definitely NOT OKAY - I've wasted half the day trying to get my items paid for!

This does stink, however not the end of the world. Sellers have been contacted so they know payment is coming, although it does sound like a line of BS until they verify that PayPal is actually down and you're not making up an excuse.
Didn't PayPal just make a ton of changes to their site? Perhaps that overhaul has caused a few glitches that they hav yet to get worked out.

Oh ... that's not what you meant, is it? Seriously, I experienced the same thing you did when trying to pay Scott (sjeanblanc) for a '71 PSA 8.
same here, got error message.
logged out, then back in, a couple times. clicked on the retry link when needed.
finally went through.
