PayPal is suffering from site issues today, according to its U.K. Twitter feed, and is striving to fix them:


We've been made aware of site issues today & are working to get this resolved. Apologies for any inconvenience. Will update asap. Tks, MW

Downrightnow.com, which tracks the online availability of different sites, has recorded a string of outages for PayPal today. As of around 8:30 a.m. PT, PayPal had been up for the previous 30 minutes or so. But the site had previously been down for one long stretch and several shorter stretches starting early Monday morning.


PayPal users have reported other problems, such as delays in payment processing and transactions.


Users chiming in on PayPal's forum say that transactions are not showing up right away on their activity pages. As a result, some have made multiple payments for the same item.


Based on the forum comments, the glitches appear to be affecting people across different countries, notably in Europe.
