Anyone noticed a PayPal IPN probelm in the past hour or so?

We're not yet sure if its PayPal IPN or our hosting provider.

If you use PayPal IPN, please post and let us know if everything is normal, or if anything is amiss.

Many thanks.

Paypal is down.

Yup, Its down.

Do you guys mean Paypal is completely down? because its generally working for us.

Or do you mean Paypal IPN is down? Because we seem to not be getting any IPN posts from Paypal at all.

Tks,

Hey Ianama,

I had just completed some changes to my store, and was testing checkout, and the paypal gateway did not work. I assumed it was something I had done, after checking my work, and finding nothing wrong with my setup, I directly tried to connect to paypal to login to my account, and the paypal site did not load. So for me, here in the Middle Of The US, paypal is not working at all.

Edit: I tried from 3 different workstations
Second Edit: Don't put all your eggs in one basket, paypal is the lesser used method for payment on my site.

Paypal is back up.

Crisis over for now ;-)

Edit: Spoke too soon, Paypal is Down again, everyone can panic again ;-)

It is down from my end in Hong Kong. Is it a DDOS attack?

[ianama]

I guess the problem is over. Appears PayPal was posting to our IPN page with a few hours delay, but everything seems fine now.

Thanks for your posts, guys.
