I’m trying to pay an invoice request. At first the invoice wouldn’t come up. Closed the Tab. Tried again. Got the invoice. Now the damn thing is stuck waiting on [www.paypalobjects.com](http://www.paypalobjects.com)

closed the tab 4 times so far and tried again.

Giving up for awhile. Anyway to verify that Paypal is broke tonight?

I see they had the identical problem a couple years ago.

> Hi.   I can't log-in to my account via paypal.co.uk/.com... I enter the correct username/password - it starts to connect, but the the browser hangs when trying to access www.paypalobjects.com   I've tried using google chrome and IE 8 - both...

whatever the problem, it’s costing businesses a crap load of money. Unpaid invoices aren’t a good thing.

The business person canceled the invoice and sent a fresh one. that worked.
