Paypal Issues? Am I the only one?

Hello,

(1)
I started my Adwords campaign at 1:00 am and paused it at 8:am EST. Basically it was running last night on Eastern time. I had a few clicks which under normal circumstances should have given me at least 2-3 sales. But I had nothing.

I checked in the morning (8-10 am EST) and it seemed to me that Paypal was down. I checked from 2 different IP's. Then I stopped my campaign as I was loosing money.

Basically my PayNow E-junkie button would show the "waiting" circle and never actually reach Paypal.

I looked everywhere and I saw nobody complaining (Google News, webmaster forums, here, etc.)

Did you guys notice anything or was it a localized incident.

Even at around 10pm that I was able to log-in to my Paypal not all links were functional, so I am positive this was (is) Not a E-junke issue.

(2)
By the way, even the last couple of days when everything was smooth and running during my tests, I still notice the same damn delay from Paypal. It's a constant factor even before implementing the E-junkie buttons and i was working with regular PayPal buttons.
I mean, the delay is 6-8 seconds. That's a long time in internet marketing as people change their minds and you loose customers.
Anything I can do about it? Settings in my Paypal account?

Any comments?

TIA
steve

When I logged into my paypal account last night, I noticed a notice that said paypal would be down for that night. It is working for me now.

Hey,

Just today I'm getting paypal problems too. It seems to happen sporadically. Not all transactions but some.

PayPal has had a few problems in the past 24 hours.

The first which should be resolved caused their site to be slow and intermittent API timeouts.

The other which is on going is causing problems with IPN:
