The system maintenance should take approximately one (1) hour. 

Listed below is what you should expect during the service interruption:

  • If you attempt to access the PayPal Web site (https://www.PayPal.com) during the maintenance window you will receive the following message:

“The PayPal website is currently unavailable for scheduled maintenance.  We are working actively to complete the maintenance as soon as possible.  We apologize for any inconvenience.  Please check the PayPal System Board for possible updates.”

Note: The PayPal Announcement Board can be found at http://announcements.paypal.com/us/ and will be updated with additional information as we monitor the maintenance window.

  • This interruption in service will not impact the eBay Web site or active listings.  However, PayPal payments will be unavailable during this time.
  • You will be unable to log into the PayPal system to check your PayPal account status or to verify payments. 
  • Since PayPal will be upgrading their internal tools during this time, their agents will be unable to access your account information during the maintenance window.
  • You will be unable to send or receive funds via PayPal payment buttons on merchant sites or directly via the PayPal site.
  • After the maintenance is complete, buyers and sellers will be able to interact with PayPal as they normally would.
