Me too for the past two days I can't checkout with PayPal, all I get is a blank square with a wheel going round both at home and at work 😞

PayPal checkout not working

I had auctions that ended earlier today. No one was able to pay automatically via PayPal until I sent them an invoice. The shipping calculator was all messed up as well - buyers were sending questions about shipping prices when it should have been right there for them.  It was a mess.

I realize I'm responding to an old post but I have been experiencing this issue since yesterday.  I have 5 items in my cart that I haven't been able to purchase.  EBay said it was because of higher transaction volume or traffic and said to try later.  It's just after 5 AM here and this problem continues.  Not good EBay.  Not good.   I will have to complete my purchase on Amazon.   In addition, sales are just about flat during the busiest time of year.  I suspect I am not the only one experiencing problems at checkout.

I had that problem too.

Invoice fixed it.

@netbookswarehouse

 

Where in the checkout are you running into problems?

 

Just a few random things to try to get you through the log jam:

 

Try checking out with the app if you have it on your phone.

 

On your computer, sign out of eBay, and then sign back in.

 

Open a new browser tab and sign in to paypal. Try again. Some folks in similar situations have reported that explicitly signing in to paypal helped them.

 

Try a different browser. Or a different computer if possible.

 

Unless the items in your cart are all from the same seller, try to purchase them separately; try going through the item page or your purchase history page, rather than the cart. Often, a problem with one item can prevent all the others in your cart from completing checkout.

 

If you have committed to purchasing already, see if any of the sellers have sent an invoice and try to pay using that.

 

If you haven't committed to purchasing yet, sign in to ebay.ca or ebay.co.uk, and try to check out from that site instead. Make sure you don't purchase the same items twice, however! Carts on different sites are entirely separate.

 

If any of that helps, or if the problem just goes away, please post so others in the same situation can figure out how best to proceed.

None of that worked. I placed an order elsewhere. I used Paypal for one of the orders, so I don't believe it's a Paypal issue. The rest of my Items I ordered from Amazon.

try opening your paypal account first, then do what you have to. When I went to pay monthly fees and then another day pay for a shipping label, all I got was a spinning wheel. I opened my paypal both times and suddenly I was able to pay fees and pay for label.

I'm experiencing the same issue and have tried different browsers, laptops, and a smartphone over the last 2 days with no resolve. I believe this a paypal issue as the same perpetual spinning wheel happens when I try to access my paypal smart connect account.

I've had the same eternal spinning wheel when trying to pay with paypal problem since 6/19/2019.  I've tried every trouble shooting option I can think of - different browser - restarting computer - going to the paypal site and signing in there first - and nothing makes any difference.
