Question Paypal screwed

[rynnor]

Lots of people have been getting error messages this morning paying for Ebay stuff saying their payments have been unsucessfull so they retry but each payment actually goes through?

The Mrs has had a few double payments but some people who were really keen paid up to 10 times...

After trumpeting the start of a campaign this week to cut off payment processing to Mega, an anti-piracy outfit has just announced some developments. According to Robert King of StopFileLockers, out of a total of ten current Mega resellers, four have now withdrawn customer payment processing via PayPal.
As reported in our earlier article, Kim Dotcom and his associates are showing all the signs of being the “good corporate citizens” they’ve claimed to be all along.
Mega has launched under the best possible legal advice and has already shown this week that it will take content down when rightsholders submit complaints. Nevertheless, there are still entities watching the site for signs of the tiniest false move and some are even prepared to act first and ask questions later.
On Monday anti-piracy group StopFileLockers began a campaign a few days ago to have Mega resellers withdraw PayPal processing for the site. It hasn’t taken them long to claim results.
According to SFL head Robert King, out of Mega’s pool of ten resellers a total of four have now removed customers’ ability to pay for Mega via PayPal. The resellers are Pay.mobi, GratisAntivirus, VoucherReseller and Hosting.co.uk.

The suggestion I have seen is that Ebay have screwed up the link details to Paypal.

Just had one try again so 3 payments from her - the trouble is you dont know if paypal themselves will cancel all the duplicates or if they will wait for the sellers to do something - I advised the Mrs to sit tight for a day to see what Paypal do.

Suppose mistakes like this might be a bonus for yours Mrs too - If she does get the money, send it back, shows she's a good ebayer etc etc!

My Natwest online banking said that Lloyds TSB was fucked over the weekend. Possibly connected?

Run by idiots on 30 year technology so what do you expect?

Use a VISA card and just get them to sort it (even on paypal)
