Link between VISA and PayPal or VISA and eBay is down.

Just tried to pay for a few things I won and can't, called the bank thinking it was a hold on my card.  They said it's the link between eBay/PayPal and VISA and no eta of a fix.  Anyone else have this problem?

 

I haven't been to the Buyer threads yet....

One thread from the 14th about PayPal redirecting a payment and asking for credit card info, castlememories said they had heard it is a glitch. I was able to pay for some things yesterday just fine. Odd.

Went back to the cart to try again, now it's even weirder...the cart is empty. Two items with 7.99 shipping each! Cart showed 7.99 for the 1st item and free for the next. Reasonable. But now I can't pay through the cart because they are gone.

Went back to Purchase page and there they are but with 7.99 each still for shipping. These are EARRINGS and I'm not paying 15 buck to have 2 pairs of earring sent to me. Maybe there is some way to get them back in the cart? Hmmm, I'll look.

Tried from the purchase page and this time it went through, yay! And discounted the shipping double yay. What a bummer glitch though, if I was a newbie here I'd back out and shop elsewhere.

There have been multiple reports of checkout / payment glitches on eBay recently... probably not a good thing, given they just announced eBay is going to take over primary payment responsibilities here in the future.   

 

I have always had messages from newbies complaining they can't figure out how to pay, or that something is broken, I would walk them through it, or just tell them to wait until tomorrow and it would probably work then.  Now, of course, any attempt to contact me before payment is probably going to get them a nasty warning from eBay, so they'll be really mad then. 

The Floggings Will Continue Until Morale Improves.
