About PayPal
This page checks whether PayPal at paypal.com appears reachable using live HTTP response, DNS resolution, SSL certificate validation and response signals. It is designed for users trying to understand problems with checkout, card processing, dashboard login, webhooks, payouts. The result should be read as an independent technical check, not as an official announcement from PayPal. Focus on partial outages where one region, feature or app path fails while the core service is still reachable.
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 paypal.com is not opening for you, start with safe local checks: refresh the page, try a private window, test another browser or device, and compare Wi-Fi with mobile data. Then try these service-relevant checks: avoid repeated charges, check dashboard/status channels, verify webhook retries, test non-payment pages, document failed transaction IDs. If this page reports UP but your device still fails, the problem is more likely local, regional or account-specific. If the live check reports DOWN, wait a few minutes and check official channels before retrying login, checkout, uploads or other important actions repeatedly.
Flush DNS Cache Commands:
ipconfig /flushdnssudo dscacheutil -flushcachesudo systemd-resolve --flush-cachesOfficial Status & Verification
The most reliable confirmation comes from PayPal's official support, status page, app notices or verified social channels. This page provides independent technical evidence from live checks, but it cannot confirm private incidents, account restrictions or internal maintenance unless those signals are visible from the public endpoint.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q:Is PayPal down right now?
Use the live status panel on this page to see the latest HTTP response, DNS and SSL result for paypal.com. If the check is UP, the main endpoint is reachable from our monitor, though individual features may still have issues.
Q:Why is paypal.com not loading for me?
The cause may be local DNS cache, browser data, VPN routing, ISP problems, regional blocking, expired sessions or a partial service incident. Test another network and browser before assuming the service is down for everyone.
Q:Is PayPal down for everyone or just me?
If this checker reports DOWN and other users are reporting problems, the issue is more likely widespread. If the checker reports UP, your problem may be local to your device, account, network, DNS resolver or region.
Q:What does HTTP 200 mean for paypal.com?
HTTP 200 is the response code returned during the latest live check. Codes in the 200 range usually mean reachable, while 4xx or 5xx codes can indicate access restrictions, rate limits or server-side problems.
Q:Can PayPal be partly down?
Yes. A service can have a partial incident where login, checkout, messaging, API calls, uploads or one region fails while the main website still loads. Check the feature you need and compare it with the live technical status.
Q:Should I keep retrying if PayPal is down?
Avoid repeated login, payment or account-change attempts during a suspected outage. Wait a few minutes, recheck the status, and use official support or status channels for high-risk actions such as purchases or account changes.
Q:Can DNS or SSL make paypal.com look down?
Yes. DNS failures can stop your device from finding the server, while SSL problems can block a secure browser connection. This page includes both DNS and SSL checks to separate those issues from normal server downtime.
Q:How often should I recheck PayPal?
For a suspected outage, recheck after a few minutes rather than refreshing constantly. Frequent retries rarely fix the problem and can sometimes trigger rate limits, app locks or temporary security checks.
