    Does anyone else get this? I get it pretty often now when I try to login to my account. I have been getting this for about an hour today but it happens often.

    I think it may have something to do with Firefox.

    Nope. Working fine for me. Which version of Firefox do you use?

    I think it must be your ISP.

    I received that error early today not only checking Paypal but also this forums, my websites, etc. etc.

    Later I got an email from my ISP apologizing for the problem.

    Paypal has been pretty laggy at times for a while now. I've lost sales because their payment page fails to timeouts and fails to load. Numerous people have reported this to me by E-mail, so its not just an opinion but fact.

    Open up a support ticket with Paypal and encourage them to deal with the bottlenecks in their network. That's what I did and got the canned response back that their network is fine. Yeah right. If enough people complain maybe they will invest some more money in their laggy network.

    A few months ago I couldn't resolve my dispute because when I visited the resolution center, it took me to an 500 internal error...Everytime. I tried in different browsers, different computers, etc... same issue

    It eventually went away a few months later but I had moved on from PayPal since then
