Yes -- just noticed that PayPall was issuing an unreturned token error or soemthing similar when I tried to sign up now. Payed directly through the site and it worked beautifully.

Erik, Thanks for the heads up.
Had the same token error as TheGrobe.
I paid through the PayPal site for this coming year's membership.
I would recommend others signing up to wait till PayPal is updated and then go through Chess.com/ your personal account.

Sounds like there are no remaining issue. Erik, if you have any future problems with PayPal, send me a message and I'll see if I can help you.

PayPal issues have been resolved - you can now choose PayPal as your payment option.
Enjoy...
So... for those of you who subscribed via PayPal in the past, today cancelled the renewal of your subscription. Everyone got an email about it. Your account is fine. You didn't lose anything. :) The only difference is that you will have to signup again at some point in the future.
That said... today PayPal barfed on us. We changed the way we process PayPal payments to be faster and more integrated with Chess.com... only to find that PayPal failed to tell us we had to upgrade our account with them. Oh the irony. Anyway, it will be 48-72 hours before we add back PayPal as a payment option.
Just wanted to keep you all informed. :)
