  Skynet is no joke man. Terminators don't play. Sick of worrying about PayPal!!
  Hopefully they get everything worked out and the "changes" they proposed last week are the real deal.

  It's been fixed for several hours - and they are now working to restore the payments that had a problem.
  
  It's not the end of the world - just a rare instance of downtime for Paypal due to a technical problem that had to be fixed.
  
  Thanks

Paypal has grown a lot since it initially started but it still has a long way to go before being the truly perfect online payment system.

That's exactly what happened in the UK last year, when one of our major banks, Nat West, implemented a software update. Unfortunately for millions of their customers, they didn't test the software first! NatWest finally fix computer glitch that left customers unable to use accounts | Mail Online

Maybe we should think to diversify if we just rely on one payment gateway ...

Same happened with PayZa/AlertPay when they stopped providing their services to UK registered companies like myself - I was happy to have PayPal as an alternative.

Most systems have the odd malfunction. This is the first time I had a problem but it has been fixed for more than 24 hours now.

I have found the paypal issues to be a pain in the neck as I just so happened to really need to use them for a number of transations yesterday.
However, that being said there's no way i'm about to leave them just because of this issue. They're not going anywhere any time soon IMO.

Thanks

But, I just logged into fiverr saw this at the head:

Similar message is on Warrior Plus.

Makes you kinda wonder... with Paypal and other well-known payment systems and solutions integrated into nearly every e-commerce platform known to man -- could we just be one computer hiccup away from missing the mortgage payment because some system isn't able to "cut the checks"? :rolleyes:

Hmmm... Terminator fans... Skynet at play?

Seriously now, lost about $500 today because of paypal's "global malfunction".

Any others affected in dollars and cents?

Most online retailers including Walmart have integrated Paypal. And, since Paypal is associated with (created by makers of) Ebay, I doubt they will go out of business anytime soon. It's just a glitch. And, many sites are experiencing it.

The only issue I had with PayPal for the last few days is when it didn't notify me right away for a client's payment. Well, I guess that's Gmail's fault. But other than that and the stupid charges, I see no problem with Paypal.

YEP! I was at a company where payroll was delayed about 2 WEEKS because of a Y2K problem. This WAS around 2000. This is one reason why I try to have my mortgage payment PULLED, as opposed to being pushed, and I check things periodically.

I have been seeing the messages everywhere but luckily I have still been able to get payments from 3 different sites via PayPal. I did however encounter 2 payments that had to be reviewed before they released them. Paypal ends, we hit the Great Depression all over again!
