Confirmed. Just received this message from support (I find this unacceptable for an outfit as big as PayPal with millions of users):
I reviewed your case description, tested your website and indeed after clicking Continue, I am receiving the error message - "Things don't appear to be working at the moment. Please try again later". I understand this issue is frustrating and I sincerely apologize for any inconveniences caused.
Unfortunately, the issue which you are experiencing is caused due to some technical issue at PayPal end. Our engineers are currently working diligently on a solution to this problem. At this time, they have not yet let us know when they expect the issue to be resolved, but I have added your account details and screenshot into the escalation for them to analyze.
Meanwhile, as a work around you can create a social media button and add it on your website. We do have a social media button that will work with email, website, and social media, since it creates a link.
- Log into your PayPal Account at - https://www.paypal.com/
- Click the tab Pay & Get paid on PayPal dashboard.
- Click PayPal Buttons under Accept Payments.
- On the Make a PayPal Button page, click Sell on Social.
- Create your product and Fill in all the information
- Add a picture
- Click Create
- Click Get Link
- Paste the link on your website or social media page
You can also create a Smart Payment button as well as a work around.
I will keep you updated with any relevant updates that I receive on the matter as soon as they're made known to me. This ticket will remain in an "On Hold - Internal" status until you're contacted about the resolution.
In the interim, I apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience!
