Users have said that when they try to log in, they've been greeted by the following message: "Some of your info isn't correct. Please try again."

Others have said they're struggling to get through to PayPal's call centres.

One person said on X (formerly Twitter): "It seems PayPal is having a complete meltdown as nobody can log in or get through via their call centre."
