Id say, ive never seen one this bad before, this is HUGE!!!! And i see people having horrible sales today, this is not going to be good for everyone on ebay.

This is not surprising to me in the slightest.

Actions have consequences.   

Just read the newspaper.

Apparently went down about 7 a.m. Eastern time, so I wouldn't panic yet....  May be back up quickly..

I just logged in without any problems.

Whenever there's an outage such as this all I can think of is hacked or ransomed.

I logged into my PayPal just now

@fbusoni I don't get a newspaper... what's the news? Nothing on my local or national news either

Seems to be back up now.

Maybe I'm paranoid, but I wait for the all clear signal before trying to log into sites like PP when they're down.

Repeated log in attempts could compromise your info in the event that hackers have access or are temporarily in control. That, and millions of people trying to get access at the same time just puts more pressure on sites when they're having technical problems.

Still down. Seems to be worldwide according to the Twitter posts I've read this morning. Couldn't get into my business or personal accounts.

     It is currently 8:38 EST and I have logged onto and out of my account several times with no problems.

TLDR: 

PayPal was down for about an hour and a half this morning.

@luckythewinner 

ya... i don't think it was down a whole 90 minutes either. My account worked perfectly and i made several purchases last nite and all check outs worked as they should...

So maybe the HUGE problem wasn't so huge and the sky isn't falling afterall?

Looks like it's working now.

If this HUGE problem arises again, try using USPS Enhanced Click N Ship.  You'll pay the same rate as you would through eBay or PayPal (e.g., $8.68 for a Priority flat rate envelope).  I'm curious why you're using PayPal rather than going straight through eBay shipping?
