Apache/1.3.33 Server at www.paypal.com Port 443

since early this morning and when it did load, I got some errors logging in. I waited about 10 mins before attempting to login again and it worked fine. Now, 7 hours later, it's down again. Anyone know what's up with PayPal??

There are some pissed off people on eBay:

I would be mad too if I had any listings ending today that only had BIN w/ "Immediate Payment Required" through PP.

Looks like the main page is back up, but I get the server error when trying to log in.

Now I'm getting this:

I made a paypal payment at around 9:27am EST this morning. It was working fine at that time.

I am supposed to be receiving money today from the 20-cent listings that ended late last night. I also need to send some money so my item will ship out today. Looks like a no-go for a while.

I get the Message 3004 and sometimes "Page Not Found." Been trying this morning to get in again, was able to print out a label around 9-10 am this morning - that's it.

We are currently performing weekly maintenance on the PayPal website
and it is temporarily unavailable. We estimate that it will be available at
approximately 11:30 AM PDT.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

I can't even get anything to load at all. We'll see what happens in 16 mins.

I'm logged in, but it's sooooo slow.

Must be because everyone's trying to access their accounts all at once.

EDIT: 500 error again

I would think a company like Paypal would have safeguards against this type of thing happening. I'm sure lots of business was lost today.

Today would've been a good day for Google to drive more business to GCO and maybe launch a new auction site (since GCO can't be used with eBay).

I'm sure many people would've happily ditched eBay/PayPal with today's problems.

cron,
It was working for me. I logged in and it wasn't slow anymore.
