Paypal does not run off Westpacs internal systems. Its two completely different companies.
They are not even having the same issues as Westpac.
I get that PayPal systems etc aren't the same, and that their (PP's) current issues are independent of the banks at the moment, but in my previous post where I said that it was plausible that bank system issues can affect PayPal payments, it wasn't on the assumption the systems are the same.
It's because they interact and communicate with each other when a payment funded by a credit card is made. Or at least, they are supposed to, and if one is down, information can't be exchanged and/or verified.
