Paypal is experiencing downtime at this moment. Some PayPal users are reporting it as having been unavailable for as long as 45 minutes or an hour at the time of writing. With the service being a key e-commerce tool, such downtime is a major frustration for both merchants and customers. Online shops who are using PayPal will lose revenue.
In October last year, PayPal’s systems, but not its website, suffered downtime. This time the website itself is completely inaccessible but it’s unclear at present if backend systems are in full working order or not.
