They throttle by IP, and the Fetches IP pool isn't large enough for the number of PayPal Users.
I don't think they like you much because they didn't seem interested in fixing the issue. I filed a support ticket. I suspect if you called and said "Hi, this is Google" you'd get farther than I did.

I'll see if I can get to the bottom of this. As far as I know we're not doing anything to people accessing Paypal, so it might be something on their end. Have you guys asked in their developer forums? If so, can you link me to the thread so I can reach out to some folks at Paypal that I know? -- Ikai Lan Developer Programs Engineer, Google App Engine plus.ikailan.com <http://plus.ikailan.com/> | twitter.com/ikai On Tue, Dec 20, 2011 at 8:55 PM, Vivek Puri <[email protected]> wrote: I was still getting timeouts and finally put a proxy in place to avoid further issues. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
