If you can’t connect to the PayPal website or its app, there may be a PayPal outage. If you’re worried that PayPal is down, it’s important to know whether the service is down or if it’s just you. Fortunately, there are a few key ways to tell if the problem is with you or if PayPal is currently down.
If you think PayPal isn't working for everyone and not just you, try these simple steps to check if you're right.
Check the PayPal X (formerly Twitter) account.
Search X for #PayPaldown. If the site is down for everyone, someone has probably already tweeted about it. Check for tweets, but also pay attention to the tweet timestamps to make sure they aren't discussing a previous time when PayPal was down.
