    Glitch disrupts eBay's PayPal service

    Glitch disrupts eBay's PayPal service
    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Repairs were underway Monday at PayPal as the widely used online payment service struggled to get customers back on track after several days of "intermittent" outages.

    Users of the eBay Inc.-owned company began experiencing some glitches on Friday after a monthly upgrade of PayPal's software systems, said eBay spokeswoman Amanda Pires. The problems seemed to subside over the weekend but then recurred Monday, she said.

    It is unclear how many of PayPal users were affected. Pires said some users were able to access PayPal while others were not.

    PayPal is a common method of payment for buyers on eBay and is gaining in popularity among customers of other online retailers as well as in money transactions between individuals in the off-line world.

    The payment service has more than 50 million user accounts worldwide. It processed almost 78 million transactions worth $4.4 billion in payments during the second quarter, a 53 percent increase from the same period a year earlier.

    Pires could not estimate when the service would return to normal. "We're working to get it fixed as soon as possible," she said.

    They keep claiming its a coding issue, I am fairly certain it feels like a DDos attack and they don't wanna scare people.

    It's just really annoying since I deal 99% in PayPal payments with my websites and domains ... so in a sense I'm out of business until it comes back online

    I think it really easy a coding issue. The problems correspond with their new page design. That's probably not a coincidence. It happens to other companies sometimes when they try out anything new.

    There are ongoing discussion at both the Platinum and Gold sections:

    Profoundly influenced by #Bauhaus, @Nameslave unrepentantly embraces #Minimalism in his #multimedia portfolio. His early works include an experimental adaptation of Chekhov’s Cherry Orchard inspired at least partly by Robert Fripp. His totally irrelevant M.Ed. dissertation examines Organizational Culture and Change Management.
