I am really sorry that you’re having this problem, but thank you for the reports because they helped us note that PayPal is currently down. The whole team is alerted to this now, and we’ll get this addressed as soon as possible.

Freyar — you caught me adjusting my response.
I had thought this was a maintenance period, but then realized this is not the day for that maintenance period.
Thank you for doing the test, though. It confirms that it’s still broken (as our internal posts also indicate). 
The team is looking into this right now.

Great, Freyar, good idea.
Also, I just got word that PayPal had some issues, but reports that it was fixed as of 10:15 PDT, which was one hour ago. Didn’t you try more recently than one hour ago?

Is anyone else experiencing the PayPal issue? We’d like to look into some individual cases so please post!

Doing a check — PayPal is clear. The issues are individual, and for everyone who has experienced a declined purchase, they need to contact PayPal to find out why.
Thanks for your patience as we investigated this!
