Is Paypal out of action ?

[Little Lou]

Hi there

Is anyone else having trouble getting in to Paypal?

We've had problems over the last few days with slow/never loading pages and when they do load they're in a basic format - no logos etc.

I can't even get on to the basic site to email them a question !

pwning noobs, is what i do.

translate:


"Using Paypal, I purchased an online game, so that I may defeat the people who play it in the most humilliating manner possible, at maximum kudos to myself"

[TraceyHand]

@gabriel
Surely, if you've only just purchased your license, you are a 'noob' yourself.

@tracey
AFAIU, 'pwn' is a representation of the noise made by the online game, 'World of Warcraft' when a character is killed,
It has become synonymous another player someone using maximum humiliation. 'noob' is short for 'newbie'.

Straight over my head too.
There's more than one world out there - I must go and have a look one day.

Me too, I'm getting old :eek:

And there's an instant ban for the first person to suggest adding age after location in signatures

We seem to be having problems with it too!!

Over the last week we have had lots of people calling to order as they are getting errors when they move from checkout to payment. I have tested our site a number of times and never had problems but customers can't be wrong can they :)

I would also be interested to hear if anyone is having problems with it.

I am getting very close to signing my streamline forms should this continue!

If it is any help VISA's main server fell over yesterday and MASTERCARD decided it fell lonely so it fell over too, today. This may have had a major bearing on PAYPAL being able to process cc payments.

Incidentally ABBEY online services have also given up completely today - what the hell is going on!!!! I cant pay my Mastercard bill because I cant access any Abbey online services, I can't get through on the phone because everybody else is trying and even if I do I expect they will not allow me to transfer funds from my 'online only' savings account. I wonder who is going to pay for interest charges for late payment............................let me guess!
