Not Such A Pal After All...

I suppose there's something to be said for doing things the old-fashioned way. Businesses relying on online payments through PayPal have been tearing their hair out lately. As of today, things are mostly "fixed"...but due to a botched architectural release last Friday, users were having problems paying and receiving money through their accounts. Here's a message directly from their website:

Many of you have experienced problems using PayPal over the last few days. We would like to apologize for the way this has impacted your buying and selling activity and, for many of you, your businesses. PayPal functionality has been restored and users are able to resume normal activities. Thank you for your patience during this process.

I hope people who use PayPal as a means to pay bills had enough money in their piggy banks!
