Hi Guys
Paypal is on the fritz again, I'm frantically trying to fix a screw up with Bill and Yangdu. Anyone know how long it's going to be unusable?

PS screw up was nobodies fault, may have something to do with Paypals problems? :mad:
 
Are electronic transfers too unwieldy between banks in different nations?

You might be able to send a money order in fast mail quicker than whatever is going on.
But I don't know- I'm just throwing it out- Bill will have the right stuff- listen to Yangdu's instructions.

Update your browser to the latest version available and then try to access Paypal again.

I have just pulled this off their website.

Many of you have experienced problems using PayPal over the last few days. First we want to apologize for the way this has impacted your buying and selling activity and, for many of you, your businesses.
As we communicated earlier, the recent problems accessing the site and using PayPal functions were the result of unforeseen problems with new code that was launched on Friday 10/8 to upgrade the site architecture. While account data and personal information were never compromised, many users experienced difficulties using the PayPal functions to perform payment and shipping activities. Technology teams from both PayPal and eBay worked around the clock to bring the service back to normal as soon as possible.

PayPal functionality has been restored and PayPal users, on and off eBay, are able to resume normal trading activities. Going forward, our technical teams will continue to focus on ensuring that we provide the highest standard of reliability and safety on the PayPal platform.

Thank you for your patience during this process. Providing outstanding service is our top priority at PayPal. Although we didn’t meet your expectations -- or our own -- in the past few days, we look forward to the opportunity to regain your faith in our service.

Sincerely,


Meg Whitman, President and CEO eBay
Matt Bannick, Senior Vice President, Global Online Payments, eBay
and General Manager, PayPal
Marty Abbott, Senior Vice President, Technology, eBay
 
Hi Guys
Finally sorted it. Paypal now works, for me at least. Whew. Didn't want to cause Bill and Yangdu any extra stess.

Munk: electronic transfers work OK but from my end are expensive and they ask a lot of questions. Did one recently as a last resort, but it make the whole thing very cumbersome.
All seems ok now.
Thanks
Phil :rolleyes:
