sent them, so I called the EBC and spoke to a very helpful EBC member. She confirmed the faxes are working again and she did wait on the line with me to confirm the fax went through ok. I did bring up that there hasn’t been any update on the USPTO website
since the initial post and mentioned that it should be updated, or a notice sent out about service being restored. We will see…

<br>
I guess you mean "unable to accept credit card payments in real time <br>
through the online payment system". So a first workaround would be to <br>
fax in Form 2038, maybe accompanied by Form PTO/SB/92.<br>
<br>
I can't tell from what you wrote whether the thing that was broken was <br>
the entirety of the online payment system or only the credit-card part <br>
of the online payment system. If the latter, then second and third <br>
workarounds would be an EFT (ACH) debit or a charge to one's deposit <br>
account.<br>
<br>
