Reports are anonymous and unverified, and each visitor can report each problem once every 30 minutes. They show how many people say they are affected, not why.
If PayPal is not loading for you
- Do not repeat a payment that looks stuck. Check your balance and recent transactions first, since the first attempt may have gone through.
- Try the website and the app. One can fail while the other still works.
- Never share codes or passwords with anyone who contacts you about an outage. Scammers use outages as cover.
- Check the provider’s official status page or support account for a notice.
- Try mobile data instead of Wi-Fi to rule out your network.
