When paying online there can be different kinds of errors that one faces with a credit card. Problem with credit card processor is a common error and there is nothing to worry about it. There are couple of things that you need to do when you face this problem. The first one is call up the credit card center to check out whether your card has been charged or not. If your card has not been charged then there is nothing much to worry and you can check out with Paypal about the problem. In all probability they will say that it is a problem with the gateway and they have no control over the situation.

As an end user there is nothing much that we can do other than some steps like close any peer to peer application that may be running on our system. If these applications are running the card processing will not be completed and you will get an error. The second option is to try out another method of payment option that may be available to you. If you have no other option of paying, there is no need to get frustrated and you can just wait for sometime before the gateway is up again. Payment processors have a very short down time and you will find that it will be up very soon. Paypal credit card errors can sometimes be really frustrating but we should not lose our cool and handle the situation the best as we can as an end user.
