We're not able to log-in to PayPal.com -- won't come up at all in southeastern PA. It's happened in the past when we tried to use the https:// while logging in, but the site won't come up for us at all right now.
Anyone experiencing anything similar in the past 2-3 days?

Hi Wayne, Its up and running fine in SC , no problems in the last few days either. I'm sure you've already dumped your cookies and tried a re-boot. Maybe a cold start might help (unplug everything from the wall and let it sit for 15 mins. or so). Computers are so touchy sometimes.

Thanks for the suggestion, toasted. Was able to get in via a link from a PayPal notice (one for an older legit sale) - but could not get in with a new browser instance and typing the URL.
You're right - computers can be testy, I know.

Yes. Not the same problem as you though. I never changed my password, but it keeps saying my password is invalid. When I try to go through the steps to change the password, it never actually sends the secret question to my email address.

YIKES!
Have you CALLED PP on the PHONE about this "problem?"

Tom...My exact thoughts also. Sounds like a clever redirect trojan, virus or piece of malware may have taken up residence on her computer by a phisherman. I would contact PP immediately and tell them to block your account from further access untill you notify them. Scan that computer with an external AV program or two and make sure it's clean before you change your password. Then contact PP again and get it unblocked and change the PW.
