Anyone else having PayPal/eBay issues today?

[Bored5000]

I won an eBay auction a few hours ago and immediately tried to pay for the item. The eBay link to "pay now" takes me to my PayPal account, but the transaction never processes. I just keep getting a message saying that I am being to returned to eBay to complete the transaction.

I have tried to pay for the item several times, and keep running into the same problem. Anyone else having problems today or encountered that issue previously?

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

No one is buying or making reasonable offers on my listings!

Anyone else having this problem? Or business as usual?

I actually had three transactions and all went ok.

I'm not even getting unreasonable offers.

Sold 2 items yesterday for a total of $9. One of them hasn't been paid for yet. No sales today so far.

I had a lot o stuff in my cart earlier and when I paid it took a long time to process. Then when I went back, I still had three items in the cart, paid for those but it turned out one was a duplicate-eBay didn't let the payment for the duplicate item through while allowing the two non-dupes so all is well but it was def. wonky for a while today.

Made a couple of payments using the PP phone app earlier today w/o any issues. One was an eBay purchase.

I was able to find a site that tracks PayPal issues. It looks like there are pockets of the U.S. that are having a lot of problems with PayPal over the past 24 hours, especially the Northeast U.S.

I am in eastern Pennsylvania, and I have never had an issue like this where my payment won't go through.

I am in the Northeast region and I also had some issues with Paypal around 8:00 PM EST. Was trying to make a payment and the screen just went blank. Took several attempts to finally get it to work. A few other transactions seemed slow also but now things seem to be smoother.

I am still having a problem; been trying to pay for 12 hours without success.

After trying several different browsers, my payment finally appears to have gone through. What a pain in the ass over a $50 card.

Here is a link to the card I bought. I have always been fascinated by the JFK assassination and had never before seen this Spanish card depicting the assassination:
