PayPal has been completely down all day - they keep bringing it up and down all day, and I haven't been able to access my money or receive payments for my eBay auctions.

Since I do $100+ worth of business through PayPal every day, this is really affecting me.

Anyone want to suggest alternatives to PayPal for online payment systems?

Are they finally updating PayPal's homepage...is that the hold up? Pretty crappy to bring it down if that's why...

Like what? I have been unable to find a suitable replacement. I haven't personally had any problems with them but due to their reputation I am wary to keep more than $1000 in my account at a time.

I keep my balance low as well but I second that; I have never had any problems with PayPal.

I received errors since yesterday... sigh..

I hope this is a wake up call for PayPal. They are going to loose a lot of customers because of this outage. I wonder what kind of excuse they will cough up.

i'm still waiting for them to pay me my money from an ebay fraud claim (i won, i gave them tracking info for the package, it was delivered, and they still haven't given me my money back)

No problem here either. FUnny how people expect things to work 100% of the time now...

[mitchell_pgh]

Anything more then 4-6 hours is catastrophic considering their business is 100% online driven.

I'm sure they are working on it, but I never have these issues with my brick and mortar bank.
