I spoke with a PayPal representative and they're down due to some internal system upgrade (which wasn't supposed to affect access, yet apparently it has).
The rep mentioned trying again in about 45 minutes (which would be about 10 pm Central time or 8 pm Pacific time).
For what it's worth, here are 2 phone numbers to call at PayPal (and yes, they do answer the phones, even this late at night):
toll-free: 888-221-1161
regular: 650-251-1100
