Yikes! PayPal is having a rough day. A major system issue is making it impossible for users to withdraw money or use express checkout. It doesn’t stop there—crypto services, Xoom, and Venmo are also feeling the heat. PayPal says they’re on it, but for now, everyone’s stuck waiting. Fingers crossed they fix this fast!
Well, most of PayPal is down—withdrawals, express checkout,
Venmo, crypto… you name it. But hey, at least Zettle card machines are still
working! Guess traders won’t be panicking today. The rest of us? Good luck out
there.
It was just past midday UK time on Thursday when PayPal’s
systems began to fail, and users were left in the dark. Down Detector tracked a
sharp spike in complaints, with many unable to withdraw money or complete
transactions. But for those using Zettle, PayPal’s card machine for traders, it
was business as usual. Despite the chaos, PayPal assured users their technical
teams were working hard to restore services.
Timing of PayPal Breakdown
Looks like PayPal is having a major meltdown! By 12:12 GMT,
over 7,000 people had reported issues on Downdetector. Withdrawals, express
checkout, and Venmo are all out of commission. But good news for traders—Zettle
card machines are still working. Hopefully, PayPal fixes this mess soon!
PayPal
PayPal has made online payments easy for years, allowing
customers to link their accounts to a checking account or credit card. But
today, users are facing a serious disruption.
Did you know PayPal has been around since 1998? It’s one of
the biggest names in online payments, but even the giants have bad days. PayPal
has 432 million active accounts, as of September 30—pretty impressive!
