anyone know what's up with paypal? it hasn't been available the last couple of days (you'll have to wait for your 'thank you' via snail-mail, everett). i didn't realize that paypal was not earning a good reputation, but there are more than a few sites like http://www.paypalwarning.com/ that obviously indicate otherwise. have i been living under a rock or what to have not heard about any of this before?

It's worked fine for me, I used it to pay for a couple thing on eBay this week.

http://www.paypalwarning.com/ is BS. There will always be people who have trouble with a business, it's unavoidable. But what's that, 20 people out of 20 million members? I'll take those odds, especially now that eBay owns Paypal.

Paypal has been working fine for me today, and yesterday, and always.

hmmm. i can't open the paypal site direct, from e-bay, etc. and the link graphic doesn't show here. maybe it's cause my isp is closing up shop this week? i hadn't had any problems with paypal before either (i've only made payments through them, not received money). that's the only thing i can think of that would have it all unavailable from my computer. oh, well, i guess it's appropriate that i threw in the business name 'befuddled numbskulls society' when registering my OS...

I have used PayPal for several years without incident and collected quite a bit of money. So far, I haven't had any problems at all. My only gripe is the 3% gouge Visa takes on every transaction, what a racket. It does save me from having to get a merchant account.

it must have been becuase of my isp closing up shop. i logged on paypal from work just fine. glad to hear it's not the nightmare the squeeky wheels make it out to be.
