    yup me too...been trying for a few hours i really need to pay for something asap as i need an item delivered asap
  • Me too ... been trying to pay for item using eBay links to Paypal for last hour and eventually after receiving several error messages it seemed to go through but now the eBay item record is not updating to say the item has been paid for. The eBay support team in UK have gone home now and I don't know how the Paypal support team can be contacted ... anyone got any suggestions or do we just ride it out ?
  • my payment just went through so seems fixed for me now

    the same here. tried probably 5 times, just now almost finished and at the last step says error occured.
    I believe they know about the problem as imagine how many auctions on ebay finished in the last few hours and how many people are trying to pay.
  • spoke to soon, got the page saying thank you for payment but no email from ebay or paypal, and in my ebay still shows i need to pay for item

    We are sorry, we are experiencing temporary difficulties. Please try again later. If this error occurred while making a payment, avoid duplicate payments by checking your Account Overview before resending a payment.
