There has been no announcement of any change in the payment processors accepted.

I looked at my own listings and there is no Paypal option.

When I checked one of my dotCA listings (I am a non-US seller and list on various sites including my home, Canada) not only was PP missing on both dotCA and dotCOM, but the Canadian site showed that payment could be made by Discover card, which is not accepted in Canada.

 

Looks like a nasty glitch.

Je suis aux USA et PP a totalement disparu, il n'y a en effet que les cartes de type Mastercard discover etcetera, it looks like a big bug indeed...

Although I am able to sign in to PayPal and check my account, it appears that there are problems with PayPal's site at the moment.

And here is what eBay's checkout looks like for me:

It is not a problem with PayPal it is a problem with eBay.  Most of the twitter posts suggest as much. The down detector post suggest a papal problem but it may just be ebay users who interpret the ebay checkout issue as a paypal problem. 

 

I my case ebay is not giving me any payment option. Checkout just takes me to a page to pay with a debit or credit card.  I am not even seeing the screenshot posted immediately above. I go to my cart and once I cleck Checkout I get the screen below

Why would a Paypal outage cause Ebay listings to be revised and the PP icon removed?

Further digging took me to the paypal service page which showed service disruptions for  Online Checkout, Payments Standard, and Express Checkout. So it is really a paypal problem. This is the first one I can remember in 15 years.

Paypal does not control what appears on any listing on Ebay.  The icon is no longer on my listing on the main page or the shipping page.

 

I did a little surfing on the site.  I did not see the icon on any listings in the US.  I certainly didn't look at but a few, but this is nothing that PP controls.

Don't disagree but if PayPal is unable to process transactions at the moment it would make sense for eBay to remove the logo until they get the issue fixed.

 

I find it hard to believe that eBay would permanently remove PayPal as an option without any type of advance notice.

True, but it is possible that eBay's checkout page has some dynamic features.

 

I notice when the checkout page first loads, I see options for credit cards stored on eBay appear instantly, but the option for Google checkout appears after a brief delay. Perhaps there is some checking to make sure a payment system is actually available before it is presented at checkout as a possible option.

It isn't just the checkout page as I noted in my previous post.  It is no longer an option for payment on any of my listings nor is it an option on other sellers I looked at in a quick search.  

 

IDK why they would go so far as to change all listings on Ebay to drop PP if it is just a temporary outage on PP.  Seems a bit extreme to me, but that is merely my opinion.
