Frequently asked — PayPal

Is PayPal down right now?
Partially — PayPal is reachable but responding slowly from our datacenter. If it's also slow for you, it's likely a real performance dip on their side.
When was PayPal last down?
We haven't recorded an outage for PayPal in our rolling 14-day window. That doesn't mean it never went down — only that our probes haven't caught one.
Why is PayPal slow or broken for me but working for others?
Three common causes. (1) Your ISP's DNS hasn't refreshed — try PayPal via /dns-propagation. (2) A CDN edge near you is degraded while other regions are fine. (3) Your firewall or VPN is mangling the connection. Run the /audit on the hostname and you'll see whether DNS, TLS, and HTTP all look healthy from our side.
How is this page different from PayPal's official status page?
PayPal's own status page is what their engineers say — accurate but often lagging real-world impact by 5–30 minutes. We probe their public endpoint every 5 minutes from outside their network and aggregate user reports, so we usually surface issues before the official page updates.
Where can I report PayPal being down?
Use the "Are you having problems?" form above. We don't store your IP — just a daily-salted hash that lets us rate-limit duplicates. Reports factor into the live count immediately.
How often do you check PayPal?
Every 5 minutes from our datacenter via an HTTP probe. You can also click Check now above to fire an immediate fresh probe (rate-limited to once per minute per IP).
