OT Paypal is having payment problems

[Jantz]

Thank you for replying Leon.

I guess I'm not the only one.

The problem I am experiencing with them is that I can't enter anyone's email/account name to send a payment.

I dealt with the same issue last week. No problems today.

I am having the exact same issue. First time for me too.

FWIW, I was able to pay for a Ebay auction I won last night with my PayPal account this morning.

Hopefully they are not installing a Malaysian software fix

They are installing pop ups. BTW, it's working fine for me now.... it was only those 20 minutes or so last night.

I will add that the Paypal employee was very helpful and tried her best to resolve the problem, but it is clearly out of her hands.

Was that by any chance around the same time that there were slow downs on the site here?

I'm thinking that Leon broke both!

It's fsociety.

There was an industry wide Internet Security Protocol changeover within the last week that may have had something to do with it. Had some hiccups with some orders on my websites also. Only reason I found out about them was customers contacted me separately when they couldn't check out.

Would be nice if Paypal would let us know when things aren't operating correctly.

For anyone with a livelihood wrapped up in paypal, you will be delighted to know that paypal recently announced that the merchant rate of 2.2% for users with over $10k/month in volume is now being done away with. It appears soon, all ebay sellers will be paying the same 2.9% no matter their volume. Hopefully the email I received that said this is a spoof.
