PayPal outage FAQ
Is PayPal down right now?
You can see the current PayPal status at the top of this page. We check PayPal automatically every 3 minutes and collect reports from users at the same time. If reports spike sharply, we mark it as an outage.
How do I know if PayPal is down for everyone or just me?
Look at the report chart: if nobody else has reported a problem in the last hour and our checks are fine, the problem is most likely on your side (internet, device, app). If reports are rising sharply, PayPal has an outage.
What should I do when PayPal is not working?
If online banking fails, try the mobile app (and vice versa); if a contactless card payment fails, insert the card and use your PIN. Only log in via the official PayPal app or website — phishing links spread during outages.
Why is PayPal not working?
The most common causes are a server outage at PayPal, scheduled maintenance, a faulty update, problems with your internet provider or a sudden surge of users. PayPal usually announces the exact cause on its official channels.
