Do you think they folded up shop in the last 30 minutes? No, they have had problems and are working on it. There are several threads on the subject. Just search "paypal" for the last 3 days of posts.

Can you imagine the lost revenues from the outage they are going thru ! ?

It's gotta hurt..............

21Walker

I don't think they will lose too much as there is probrably such a huge backlog. When they finally get up and going it will probrably crash again from the influx..............

Glitch disrupts eBay's PayPal service

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Repairs were underway Monday at PayPal as the widely used online payment service struggled to get customers back on track after several days of "intermittent" outages.

Users of the eBay Inc.-owned company began experiencing some glitches on Friday after a monthly upgrade of PayPal's software systems, said eBay spokeswoman Amanda Pires. The problems seemed to subside over the weekend but then recurred Monday, she said.

It is unclear how many of PayPal users were affected. Pires said some users were able to access PayPal while others were not.

PayPal is a common method of payment for buyers on eBay and is gaining in popularity among customers of other online retailers as well as in money transactions between individuals in the off-line world.

The payment service has more than 50 million user accounts worldwide. It processed almost 78 million transactions worth $4.4 billion in payments during the second quarter, a 53 percent increase from the same period a year earlier.

Pires could not estimate when the service would return to normal. "We're working to get it fixed as soon as possible," she said."
