Is Paypal Down Or Is It Just ME?

I normally use my merchant account to process payments but I'm doing a test launch so I though I would throw up a paypal link. So PayPal must be down because I can't even get to the site.

Is this just me or is Paypal really having issues right now?

It looks like I can't get to their site and buy buttons aren't working either.

It's down right now. I thought I have solved the problem, but I logged in again and the same error shows. Did you have the same error message as the one here:

  Thanks for that site, Alexa. I've always had to bug friends in different parts of the country via instant messaging to check my sites for me when I've had problems. This looks like a handy resource to have bookmarked.
  
  And to the OP, Paypal is working fine for me.
  
  Thanks

  Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.

Yep, same error. Luckily I have a merchant account so the WSO I had just launched won't be a waste. You always have to have a backup plan if you can. I know some people in other countries can't though.

  PayPal is still down for me, when I use Firefox. When I use Internet Explorer there is no problem. Someone must have been "upgrading" some of the code, and introduced a bug. Fun stuff!
  
  Thanks

It's finally working for me, but a few of the categories are still down. Good thing I don't use paypal for everything otherwise today would have been a bad sales day.

I've been getting a random error popping up on almost every task I've been doing on PayPal today, but I got through it all in the end. It should become stable again soon if it hasn't already.
