Paypal is experiencing website problems

Paypal website is experiencing some problems that are resulting in customers' payments being taken multiple times but not paid.

The problems seem to have started around 24 hours ago, and businesses and customers took to Twitter to express their frustration at PayPal. Apparently, customers were getting an error notification when paying, but when they go to their account, they see that payment has been taken three or four times.

It turns out that businesses aren't getting the cash either. They are also reporting problems, such as Essential Automation, which is unsure whether to ship orders or not. Some places like Etsy disabled PayPal altogether.

This morning Paypal apologised to its users for the inconvenience, responding to complaints via Twitter by acknowledging its website issues and saying that it is "working to get this resolved" and will "update ASAP". Meanwhile, many users complained that PayPal customer service support hasn't been of any help either, with a 140 minute wait for some users calling to get information as to why the service has failed them.
