PayPal doesn’t seem to be working right now..

I’ve just been on eBay . Pressed the buy it now button . The select button is grey not blue .
I then went on PayPal app . It comes up with I’m not a robot and then wants me to tick boxes .
Anyone else have this problem ?
Should I be worried ?
Thanks

  • I went onto PayPal .com ignoring the PayPal app and it seems normally functional there . On Ebay the thing I was gonna purchase by pressing pay now has not been recognised in my purchased folder
    Frightened to buy anything now

    Something is not right. Usually that "I'm not a robot" comes up if it thinks you're using a VPN etc.

    Thanks folks . I’m using iPhone as broadband is down. Engineer here.
    Please tell me I haven’t been hacked .

    Maybe it’s because I’m not using an iPad and am using 4g ?
  • I tried on my iPad . (Broadband problem fixed ) .
    It looks like Vodafone may have been protecting me ,as I was on 4g since weds. I haven’t bought anything on Ebay via the phone ..always iPad . I have browsed and that was okay . Looks like all is fine .
