I just tried to load Paypal so I can check my account balance but their site will not load. Is anyone else experiencing this? If so, how long has this been going on today? I need to withdraw my funds soon but can't until the site is working again.
Does anyone know what is going in with the Paypal site as to shy it will not load?

Yeah. I think that is what it was because after about an hour or so, the site began working again. I was so glad too because I needed to access my funds there.

I just checked the paypal site and got it up with no problems. I see you posted this 11 hours ago or around 1am. I do know that they often do maintenance at night, maybe they were down for that?

I believe they go down every weekend, usually on Sunday nights like banks. They may have gone down early for the holiday weekend.

Yeah. i am thinking that maybe it was a server issue because some people could still get in there. If they are down for maintenance, I wish they would let us know in advance so we can get our checks our funds before hand.

Maybe they were updating the site. I just checked and mine loaded and I was able to log in also.
Good Luck

i really don't know that its happened with you my dear friend. the only experience that i ever had when paypal did not open cause of really slowly connecion of my internet speed. thats made paypal would not open. in y ow knowing, slowly speed of internet conenction would affect to secure of your accounts. its not only happened with paypal. in fact, if my internet speed too slowly, my local bank webpage also would not perit me to log in and access my account.
anyway, i just accessed my account in paypal, and still working well there

I guess it was just a server issue. It wouldn't load for about an hour this morning. I am able to log into the site and get it loaded now too.

Yeah. I think it may have been a server issue. It works fine for me now also. It scared me for a bit though because I was trying to check and access my funds there.

Hi. I just tried again and it still will not load for me. Someone said their server must be down.

Yeah, i'm having trouble logging into paypal as well which kind of makes me worry. I hope it's just a temporary glitch as mentioned above, otherwise i'm going to be a bit frustrated.

I think they were just down for about an hour earlier but everything loads there now so we should be okay once again.

i have not opened my paypal account in the last 2 weeks cos i was not expecting a payout yet but i guess general site maintenance or upgrade is a good reason why it wont open,try send ing a mail to admin it helps

i think maybe they were updating the website, thats why you couldn't login. its obvious to any websites, need to be maintained, and updated at least once a year.

I think their server was down on my end for a while because other people could load the site and sign in. If they were doing an upgrade, they should tell us before hand so we can access our money before or afterwards.

My day got a little better, thanks. Paypal finally loads for me now. I guess their server was down for a little bit. It seems to be working fine for me now.

I'm glad too. I just tried again and it loaded for me. It must have been a server issue or something. I use Paypal alot too. I joined another payment processor recently also but I only did it pretty much for the sign up bonus they paid me. Paypal is the best to use, I think though so far.

I finally got it to load for me a couple of hours ago. I guess their server was down for a bit. Thanks for letting me know though. I appreciate it.

Well you probably already have it up and running now..I am so far behind discussions, that when I saw this, I signed in and it is loading fine..

Yeah. their server must have been down for a short while. I finally got the site to load for me a while ago and my account is fine.
