I thought it was something I was doing wrong. There was nothing on the Paypal site and try to get a customer support from Paypal site. It would be nice if Paypay listed they are having technical difficulties. WOW! I have been trying to pay for an ebay win and still can’t get through. I thought it was something I was doing wrong.

Anybody else seeing this? I had to call the vendor directly to pay him.

They seem to have awful customer relations too. The first paragraph of that email goes out with every email they send I think! Also, they can be a right pain if you have over 10k in your account, or you're withdrawing large sums. They love their interest so regularily freeze your account.

Thanks a lot for blogging this! Yes, it's a shame this happened, and mistakes do happen, but the way PayPal handled this situation was nothing short of unprofessional and unforgivable. While PayPal has been our sole credit card processor for the past 5 years, this situation has pretty much made it clear that it's time to move on.

Glad your payments are starting to come in – can't wait until we hear an "all clear from you".
