Paypal.com Stuck at Security Check

Post by geraldh » 2026-04-28, 12:10

In the past few days I have been unable to login to Paypal when making Ebay purchases.
After typing in my password I get "Please wait while we perform security check" and then for a few seconds a twirling graphic which then stops and leaves me with just the "Please wait while we perform security check" text.

Code: Select all

Are you blocking HTTP Referers with an extension or some other way? I had the same issue, temporarily disabled the "Referrer Control" extension and their security check went through.
