I have account with them, I even called Pay Pal and they couldn't help me they said its on the browser end. I went to another computer that has windows and was able to complete my transaction. Tried it again today, and still can not get logged in, is it because I didn't want the computer to store my password for that site? Everything else works why not getting logged into pay pal?
