About PayPal
Before assuming a full PayPal outage, use this page to compare live signals for paypal.com. We run technical checks such as HTTP status, response time, DNS resolution and SSL certificate validation, then present the result in a way that helps you decide whether the service is actually down or whether the problem may be local to your browser, device, ISP, VPN or region. Payment platforms should be checked carefully before retrying transactions, because login, checkout, API and dashboard problems can have different causes. For PayPal, users commonly check affected areas such as Login, Checkout, Dashboard, API payments, Payouts. Always compare the latest check time with what you see on your own connection because outage conditions can change quickly.
Our latest live check shows paypal.com is reachable right now. HTTP status is 200, and the current response time is shown in the live status panel above.

Troubleshooting Steps
If PayPal is down for everyone:
- Check official status or support channels
- Wait for restoration before repeated login/payment attempts
- Monitor this page for live technical changes
If it's only down for you:
- Clear browser cache
- Try another browser or device
- Restart router
- Flush DNS cache
- Try mobile data instead of WiFi
- Disable VPN/proxy
If the page fails for you but this checker reports reachable, treat it as a possible local or regional issue first. Refresh paypal.com, open it in a private window, clear browser cache, flush DNS, temporarily disable VPN or proxy tools and try a mobile hotspot or different Wi-Fi network. Good service-specific checks include: Do not retry sensitive payments too quickly; Check official status first; Compare dashboard and API behavior; Try again after a short delay. If the result here is DOWN, wait a few minutes and check official channels before repeatedly logging in, paying, uploading files or retrying sensitive actions. If the result is UP, the issue may be local, regional or account-specific.
Flush DNS Cache Commands:
ipconfig /flushdnssudo dscacheutil -flushcachesudo systemd-resolve --flush-cachesOfficial Status & Verification
For final confirmation, check PayPal's official support, status dashboard, help center or verified social channels when available. This page provides independent technical monitoring for paypal.com, but it cannot replace incident updates from the service owner, especially for partial outages that affect only apps, APIs, payments, login or specific regions.
