Paypal website having problems?

[mrpotatohed]

Ug this is getting frustrating. Yesterday the site kept giving me errors when I tried to pay. I finally got one to go through and it made one payment to the seller and 3 withdraws from my bank account! And now I can't even get the site to load. Can somebody try to log into paypal and see if it my comp or if the site is truely down?

I always have problems with Paypal. I think 1 of 3 transactions that I do go smoothly.

Well, even if you get an error when trying to pay, I would suggest checking your bank account first to make sure it didn't actually post!

I think they went through some sort of overhaul on the site, figures that it just happened to be when i decided to sell a few things on ebay, now my buyers can't pay me because the site is messed up!

A technical problem has caused intermittent availability for members attempting to use the site. Activities such as accessing account information, paying for ended eBay listings, and using PayPal shipping functionality have been intermittently available. PayPal is continuing to work to resolve these issues. We understand the inconvenience this issue has caused for some members, and we appreciate your patience

Its really slow for me as well. mrpotatohed check with your bank account online see if paypal did indeed withdraw 3 times from your account.

Yes, that is the problem I am having. Seller shows one payment, paypal shows one payment, bank account shows three identical charges

OH SWEET JESUS! I actually got it to work. Caught it between downtime. Looks like it is up for 1-2 mins at a time

I sent a Paypal payment in the morning. It shows up on my account page, yet the person I sent payment to has not received confirmation of my payment.

If anyone is interested, here's a news article about the recent Paypal problems:

I got a double payment from one guy. He got pissed because I said wait until I get a responce from paypal before I reunfd. It took a couple of days, but its all sorted out now.
