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

Hi,

 

I am trying to convert my balance right now to Philippine Peso but it is not going through. A prompt saying that "We’re sorry, things don’t appear to be working right now. Try again later." Why is this happening? And when will it get fixed?

Hello,

Such a mess. I've been working for a company out of England. I'm in the U.S. Last week, I had no issue transferring my pay from GBP to US dollars. This week, there is no icon for me to transfer the funds. I called Paypal 2 times today and each time, I was hung up on. I did get enough info, that I was told "I'm" the one that has to convert the money. Not true, it worked smooth as butter last week. Agent told me to go into "Wallet" and change my conversion rate. Not possible, I don't have links in "Wallet" to do that. He then said, "I have it figured out, give me one moment" and then disconnected me. I still have no pay for the work I did. Does anyone have any information on this? I'm headed into major surgery in days. I needed this money for expenses.

Thank you so much.

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

Click on your paypal wallet and add USD as a receiving currency and then make it primary.

I have been trying to convert my USD to PHP but I am just getting this error message 'We’re sorry, things don’t appear to be working right now. Try again later.'. I tried selecting other currencies and I was still getting that same error. I also tried to link my BDO and BPI account but it's also not allowing me that the bank has been disabled. This is the first time I will be linking those accounts with a Paypal account but nothing seems to be working. Help!
