PayPal said late Tuesday that it has fixed a software glitch that locked some of its customers out of their accounts and crippled eBay users' ability to complete online transactions.
As of Wednesday morning, PayPal's site appeared to be functioning properly again, after several days of intermittent performance. The company has acknowledged that the problem was related to a software code update that it made to the site Thursday. As the issue began to proliferate, customers of PayPal's parent company, online auctioneer eBay, began filling that site's message boards with complaints. In an e-mail sent to CNET News.com on Tuesday night, PayPal spokeswoman Amanda Pires wrote that the company has made progress with its site issues and that performance has "improved significantly." Pires said most PayPal customers should now be able to use the site without incident and that the company continues to monitor the situation and will offer further updates Wednesday.
