Common reasons PayPal looks down when it isn't

What to check before blaming PayPal

  1. Log in directly at paypal.com to confirm the account itself works.
  2. Try a different browser or incognito for a stuck checkout.
  3. Turn off a VPN — PayPal's fraud checks frequently block them.
  4. Check whether it's login, a specific payment, or the whole site that fails.

PayPal status — frequently asked

Is PayPal down right now?

PayPal is up and responding in 307 ms. That reading is from itsnotyou's monitoring servers, 89 seconds ago.

Is it PayPal that's down, or is it my internet connection?

It can be either — that's the hard part. The status on this page is measured from itsnotyou's monitoring servers, so PayPal can look healthy here while your own connection is the real problem. The itsnotyou test checks both at once and returns a single verdict in about 10 seconds.

Why is PayPal loading slowly?

A slow PayPal usually comes down to one of two things: PayPal's own servers are responding slowly — itsnotyou measures time to first byte, and anything over 1500 ms is flagged as slow — or your local connection is the bottleneck. Running the test tells the two apart.

How often is PayPal's status checked?

PayPal is probed every few minutes, around the clock, from itsnotyou's monitoring servers. The verdict and the 24-hour response-time history on this page update automatically.
