A recent monthly update to its Web site caused no end of trouble for online transaction company PayPal. But after an outage that plagued the site, PayPal appears to be back online.
According to a notice by eBay, which owns the PayPal service, the introduction of back-end code Friday morning to upgrade the site's architecture caused the Web site to crash, though not initially.
"The code worked well when tested and during the first hours of launch," a notice on the site said. "Unfortunately, problems handling peak levels of traffic developed later in the day that created intermittent availability and errors for members."
As of press time, access to the PayPal site appeared to be restored. "We have made good progress in our efforts to restore the PayPal site functionality," a note on the PayPal site said Tuesday.
