Paid for multiple sellers a few minutes ago.
Went through immediately with no problems.
Hope it goes well for everyone else.
It was 50/50 midnight yesterday. It was like playing roulette.
Sometimes I get the abort message on the first page, retry and pass the first page to the second where you have to input your password, then abort. I was pulling my hair when I got to the last page a bunch of times under the "review payment" and then I click "Pay" and get the abort message. Yeah, it was a fun night.

Anyway, here's an announcement from Paypal's website on the technical troubles:
<< <i>Site Update 10/12/04
PayPal has been experiencing technical problems which have caused intermittent availability for members attempting to use the site. PayPal and eBay teams are working at full force to fix the underlying issues and improve site access. We sincerely apologize for the situation and appreciate your patience. For more details, please visit: http://www2.ebay.com /aw/announce.shtml >>
Hello everyone,
Wanted to stop by to share the latest information we have about PayPal, from the eBay Announcements Board:
***PayPal Site Update***
Date: 10/12/04 Time: 10:49:03 AM PDT
We understand the PayPal site issues may be impacting many of you and your ability to do business with PayPal on and off eBay, and we apologize for this situation. We would like to update you on the current status and the efforts being made to resolve these issues.
Today, access to PayPal continues to be intermittent. Some members are able to log in to the site and make payments and perform other activities, although they may be experiencing very slow system responses. Other members are not able to get in right away, or at all. PayPal users may also be having problems with their debit cards.
Sellers who use PayPal shipping functionality may be having problems shipping products to their buyers, and buyers may be experiencing difficulties paying sellers. We encourage members to be patient with trading partners as we work to improve PayPal access.
These PayPal issues are the result of unforeseen problems that resulted when a new code base to upgrade the site architecture was introduced to the PayPal platform on Friday morning. The code worked well when tested and during the first hours of launch. Unfortunately, problems handling peak levels of traffic developed later in the day that created intermittent availability and errors for members. These problems have continued in varying degrees since Friday.
Account data and personal information have not been compromised by these issues. eBay and PayPal technical teams are working at full force to fix the underlying problems and improve site access.
We will continue to update you on the status of this situation.
Regards, eBay
