I just heard from PayPal Support. They didn't offer a lot of information but confirmed that many other people have been reporting the same issue, so it's not unique to either of our accounts. In fact, on reading other threads in this subforum, I see that some people are reporting that the issue is actually on the card issuer's (i.e., Synchrony) end, that other Synchrony-issued cards are affected, and that Synchrony itself has acknowledged this. I'm not sure if PayPal can do much more on their end at this point; we may have to try to contact Synchrony directly. I did find out that my PayPal MC is still available as a payment method on my "Send and Request Money" page, so it seems that - as you reported - the card itself hasn't been disabled, just the ability to get to one's account page. I think it will be necessary to carefully review one's account statement whenever that finally does come back up, because I can't rule out - note I'm not saying this is what happened, but until we get information otherwise we have to assume it's a possibility - the possibility of hacker/cracker action against Synchrony.
