    @PayPalAU @PayPal @AskPayPal This morning, I received an order for almost $1,200 and had to refund it immediately due to a customer error. It cost us over $30 for your fees. Fees should be able to be refunded if a refund is issued within a certain time limit... say 3-5 days.

    @supersonicgaba @PayPal Some kind of serious glitch going on there. It should only take a couple days. I would call them. They have functioning customer service at least, unlike many other companies today.

    @tonyposnanski Add a comma and three more zeros. PayPal is good, I'll send the address if the payment don't bounce. Probably down the block a mile or so from here.

    Bought a nvidia GeForce graphics card from @Aria_Technology the money went through, but I got an error it doesn’t even show in my history that I bought it, what’s going on?? It shows I paid on PayPal no email no nothing.

  • DearUniverse_cs Charlotte Strawbridge (@DearUniverse_cs) reported

    @luv3bk Yes, it should. There’s a choice to do it through PayPal too, and they convert currency for you I think. I believe it should tell you before it makes you pay. DM me if you have any problems

  • ajj10000 Alex Jackson (@ajj10000) reported

    @TmaxJuices @MrsLordsPantry Sorry to hear you are having problems with PayPal Simon, they have lost my business as what right do they have to choose who I can spend my money with. I bet they still let people buy cigarettes!

  • yifftator Yifftator 🖌️ (@yifftator) reported

    @DrHeartlock I am sorry to hear about the difficulties you are facing currently. This newly discovered one you're testing, what's it called? Would you mind sending me the name and link via private note? I am experiencing transaction issues with PayPal lately as well.

    @WerewolfMoms triple checking to make sure the address is right and I didn't somehow inexplicably log into like, my brother's paypal account whose password I don't fully remember, every single time even if it's a single-click checkout I already have set up and used without issue

    @Nouriel I understand all your sentiments and I am still buying #bitcoin It is very unfriendly to the environment as some IPP powerhouses operate Bitcoin miners too improve profit and prevent turn down, but I can't ignore PayPal. I don't own much but I will probably always have some.

    @us3r_322 I will never use Paypal again. They are the problem. As bad if not worse than a bank.

  • jezzerzeus jezzerzeus (@jezzerzeus) reported

    @cgibsonREX @noyusurvived Uh yeah especially when there are no ways to keep them on check that’s people go through third parties like Etsy and or PayPal to ensure they can dispute an issue and hold that individual accountable.

  • supersonicgaba Gabriela Guzman (@supersonicgaba) reported

    Been trying to link a business bank account to @PayPal for 6 months and get a random error message. Chat and Twitter DM keep sending me to each other. I want to cry.

  • TimForgot 🌊ʇᴉɯᴉl ɐɯǝɥɔs®🌊🤘🏼 (@TimForgot) reported

    @GoPro fwiw, if you choose paypal, it doesn't even take you to paypal, it just immediately gives the error. so it's not a problem with the payment method or inaccurate information.
