    @twocvbloke @eBay_UK PayPal should have good robust security systems but is capable of hacking or the system will shut itself down (in effect) to protect it in case its been breached. It'll be interesting to see what the issue is. Its a global issue it seems. Annoying but never mind...

    when Hasan referenced ppl saying stuff like “you’re a bad person, subscribe to my Paypal”it was based tbh like applying it in the twitch community any time a creator makes any mistake people start advertising themselves instead of focusing on the issue idk

    If security is not fully competent at all levels, then not only will numbers decline, but regulars will stop coming. To understand PayPal's issues, replace "numbers" with "EPS growth" and replace "regulars" with "projected revenue."

    @HomeDepot The fact that it's 2022 and you don't accept #ApplePay #GooglePay #SamsungPay or any digital wallet outside of PayPal is a damn shame. I understand there's a partnership between PayPal and Home Depot but this is putting your shoppers at great disadvantage. Fix this!

    @AskPayPal Your payments are broken across ALL sites. Maybe issue a statement? Or better still, fix the issue.

    @ArtSeaMoni PayPal is down, but I popped them in my cart for later. Because two enormous cross stitch projects just isn't enough. Is there a support group for #ofmd arts and crafts addicts?

    whoever uses @PayPal for business- run! They just decided to close down my account permanently with no explanation and no funds can be withdrawn. I used it for a few months, paying the fee coz it's a company I trusted and my clients trusted- but this! This is so terrifying

    @eshecker @AskeBay @eBay_UK I think you need to issue a statement. This PayPal being dropped from the check out menu isn't a small issue. Its huge and happening in the UK, USA etc

  • twocvbloke
    twocvbloke (@twocvbloke) reported

    @mazcollects @eBay_UK Having looked on DownDetector, I think it may actually be Paypal that's gone awry, as their payment systems aren't working on a variety of other platforms away from ebay, whether just a glitch or something more suspicious (given cyber warfare is a thing now), who knows...

    @lokit413 Any alternative donations places? PayPal is down for me. I'll keep trying PayPal in the meantime
