Paypal down!! Integration for eBay checkout not working

[ducatimondo]

We are all often wondering why sales drop and pull our hair out looking for is it us or is it them answers.
Wondering if buyers are waiting for Black Friday giveaways next week or just skint because we are robbed blind at every turn from banks to energy companies to insurance to gov't coffer, et al it seems nowadays.

Been trying to buy something for a while, but we tend to use Paypal when we do use eBay to order stuff.

The Paypal is all greyed out and it says Paypal is experiencing issues right now!!

Really, these self claimed $billion companies are ludicrously bad and what they do aren't they!!

I don't know how long this has been like this for.
I have tried to order stuff a few times today and been like this.
I tried checking out for different items and was the same too...
Also been tumbleweed today on our sales compared to what we should see.

Maybe this is why, as sales are driven by the ability for buyer's to be able to actually pay for their stuff!!
Not rocket science is it really!!

That explains it. I just tried to pay for my web hosting with PayPal and it didn't work, had to use credit card.

Hi @ducatimondo ,

Thank you for your post.

We have received other reports on this. It is an issue on PayPal's side as it has impacted other sites. They are working on resolving it.  As a workaround you will need to use another payment method.

Thank you,

Kat

I have had this too this morning - I refuse to put additional finance details online.

Keep refreshing - it comes up and is not greyed out after a few tries so you can still pay via PayPal.
