paypal no longer works in germany ​​

@Mabelz wha?

@catraxx@tech.lgbt I had already seen something in the news yesterday, but I didn't think anything of it. today I wanted to buy something on steam and it didn't work. I logged into my sparkasse online banking and received a message saying that paypal had been deactivated.

@catraxx@tech.lgbt a payment to steam apparently didn't go through on monday and now I can't pay on steam anymore wtf ​​

@Mabelz That really sucks. I bought something yesterday and it works. Better check with paypal.

@catraxx@tech.lgbt I have arranged for the money transfer again, but PayPal says the amount is expected to arrive on september 3. I don't understand why it should take a week. it wasn't my fault that PayPal had an outage. this is really pissing me off rn ​​
