Hello all.

I've been trying to buy DUSK with the discount that is currently active, but when I try to pay with Paypal it fails with a "Site appears to be unavailable" error on Paypal's end. That's the message that appears in Paypal's own payment screen, it's not a 404 error or anything like that. Sometimes it may get to the order summary but ends up failing with the same error.

I can login to my Paypal account just fine, I have enough balance to pay for the game, and as far as I can't tell my account isn't on hold or anything like that.

I wanted to ask if anyone knows if it's a temporary global issue with GOG and Paypal or if Paypal payments are suspended at GOG at the moment, because I'm worried that if I keep trying to pay and the errors go on it may prompt Paypal to think I'm trying something weird.

I am having PayPal issues today as well. When I click "Pay Now" on Paypal it just reloads my cart on GOG like nothing happened. Happened a few times and the games are not appearing in my library nor are any charges showing up on PayPal.

Bought a game with Paypal a couple hours ago, worked fine.
Tried again right now and it still fails with the same issue. I also notice that GOG's shopping cart is kinda wonky today. I tried removing DUSK from my cart to try adding again and purchasing but the site doesn't do anything when I click the remove button. It shows the usual site animation like it's doing something but after a few seconds nothing happens and the game remains in my cart. Maybe there is an issue with GOG today after all.
I wish GOG had Gift Cards like Steam.
Does topping up your GOG wallet work? Perhaps you could try putting in some money there and use it as an indirect way to buy your game.
So I just tried again after a few hours and it works now. Not sure what the problem was though...

Sounds like some critical system was down for maintainance.
