It appears that PayPal is experiencing a widespread disruption in service. Both our internal system inquiries and our test consumer logins at the US PayPal site are returning 3004 error codes, “Unable to complete your request.” Lindens in the UK are getting similar results.

We’re inquiring for more information as urgently as we can. We’ll keep you apprised of anything we can find out.
