No access to Paypal at all here, 9:05 AM Eastern time. Can't even get the hom page, just times out over and over again. Only announcement on Ebay is that they canceled some "special maintenance" on Paypal, that was due last night between midnight and 1AM Pacific time.

It's incredibly slow. Took for ever just now for the page to come up. then I had to try twice in order to log in. That took me to a page regarding the credit card theya re pushing, and from there it took me two tries to get to my account page.
On the bright side, though, there were three payments showing for auctions that closed last night.

So. Calif. here. I just checked, and they're down for maintenance until 11 a.m. PDT. Yeah, right. . . .

My wife's from the midwest. Very nice people there. Very wholesome.
They use words like 'Cripes' 'For Cripes sake.' Who would that be; Jesus Cripes? The son of 'Gosh' of the church of 'Holy Moly'? I'm not making fun of it. You think I wanna burn in 'Heck'?

This is getting old, fast. Leave it to eBay to fix, that which isn’t broken, and in the process make a major mess.
Today I went into My eBay to check for questions, and solds, and miracle of miracles, I'm a Power Seller, and I haven't sold a thing!! What I am saying is, I am a Power Seller, but my SOLD page is blank, totally blank!
This reminds me of the old eBay, a few years ago, when the site was forever up, and down, and up and down, then the major crash came....
Glad I don't depend on eBay for most of our e-commerce, it’s to fluky!
Now, would be a good time for a major, well known company to introduce a site similar to PayPal – I think these intrusions in e-commerce with endless tech problems, would convince many folks to try and or add a new processor to their acceptance list.

Yep, just looked & now they're down for maintenance.
I really wonder if their problems don't stem from their new homepage? Seems to me that everytime eBay tinkers with itself they have problems, and it could be that the same thing is going on with PayPal.
