Hello,

 

I am just trying to convert currency from USD to my local currency. I keep getting this error message ""Things don't appear to be working at the moment. Please try again later." and it wouldn't let me convert my money. I only have a personal account. Thank you to anyone who sees this

I successfully converted mine.

 

I fixed this between 9:30 PM - 9:40 PM

 

I got the error from Firefox browser so I switched to Chrome.


Here's my steps:
1. Open Chrome. Do not open paypal yet.
2. Press Control + H to go to history

3. Hover to "Clear browsing data" and click it. A new tab named "Settings" will open

4. On the "Clear browsing data" window, click "Advanced"

5. Time range must be "All time" and I checked all the boxes
6. Clear data

7. Once data is cleared, sign in to your paypal account, got to wallet, and try converting currency from USD to PHP.

 

I hope this step by step help

Until now i can't convert my money to PHP. 

 

Have tried several solutions found in the community. Still doesn't work. I tried using a different browser, tried deleting my search history, mobile, nothing!

How can I revert back to paypal transfering usd as usd without any converting being involved (automatic transfer).

I tried to converse the money from Euro to GBP but it couldn't work and it tells 

"Sorry, we’re not able to process your request. Please try again later."
*I have added GBP as a primary currency following the instructions from other posts but it still shows the same message.

Found a solution: in Chrome, open Paypal in an "incognito window", the currency conversion will then work smoothly.

I had this problem literally just a few minutes ago, I converted 130.78 USD to PHP and then got the error. I panicked because the error happened but the money got deducted from my account, I tried to convert one more dollar and everything seemed to work just fine. I hope someone helps me with this.
