If you use PayPal, you probably already know that they're having issues today. From what I've dug up, they are acknowledging that 'some' customers are getting 3004/3005 errors, but they don't feel it's affecting 'all' customers.

Whatever. People who use the PayPal credit/debit cards are getting 'Declined' and 'Bank not reachable'...although the money is allegedly being taken out of their accounts (it's just not making it to the merchants).

Sounds like a SNAFU to me.

Maybe somebody is messing with them? All that money would make a nice target!

Nah, it's *only* $4.4billion/year. :)

Actually, I believe they were rolling out an upgrade and it got away from them.

I wasted a lot of effort trying to make a payment on PayPal today... Unfortunately I can't bill them for my time.

Probably took me at least 10-12 trys last night to pay for Mike's trc's. Finally went through but then a number of tries to check my account - had to confirm whether it had actually been paid as I didn't get a PayPal confirmation

Persistance!

Had off/on dealings but pushed through. Almost didn't pay for an SNES Frogger Game - this could get serious.

Upgrades and Pirate attacks. Hmmm.
