PayPal is not working — what to try

  1. 1

    Do not retry a failed payment immediately

    A failed transaction can still be pending at the bank. Repeating it risks a double debit. Wait for the reversal window stated by your provider before trying again, and keep the reference ID.

  2. 2

    Confirm the problem is not your connection

    Open any other site. If nothing loads, the issue is your network rather than PayPal. On Windows run ping paypal.com and nslookup paypal.com in Command Prompt; on macOS or Linux use Terminal. A DNS failure and a server failure look identical in a browser but are very different problems.

  3. 3

    Bypass your own cache

    Load paypal.com in a private or incognito window. If it works there, clear cookies and site data for paypal.com in your normal browser rather than clearing everything.

  4. 4

    Try a different network

    Switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data, or vice versa. Regional ISP routing problems are common and often affect one carrier while others are unaffected.
