    @DDOUnlimited The customer service staff then locked my DDO account and told me to contact PAYPAL to solve the problem. If they can't solve it, the customer service staff will manually send me a payment link.

  • DebraLevine10 Debra Levine (@DebraLevine10) reported

    @AskPayPal Thank you for responding. I already resolved the two issues through another route. Message board? This time I had a much easier time reaching a resolution. I was anticipating an experience like before. I should have had more confidence in your customer service. My misjudgment

  • Rami_Gunner Rami (@Rami_Gunner) reported

    @Lilmouse49Laron @linuswilson Dude me too, it asked me to reenter my address, my card was declined even though it had money, i had to login to paypal AND still secured it lmao

  • SimonSplat Simon Assender (@SimonSplat) reported

    Hey @NETAPORTER! What’s wrong with your website? Tried on different browsers and clicking Pay Now on both credit card and PayPal options just brings you back to the payment page. Nothing happens! Lots of other issues with your site too (resets the name title). Losing patience!

  • JamieVoiceOver Jamie (@JamieVoiceOver) reported

    Cancelling stream for now to fix an issue with my PayPal account. Sorry everyone, but this is stressing me out

  • Clover1Ben Ben Pitt (@Clover1Ben) reported

    @Salvationbring1 @nekopara_pr @sayori_nw if you're having issues with the card payments, buy the points with paypal on the site and then use those to purchase the product, hope this helps :)

    Can @Twitter do its thing & help me with @PayPal. I m having major issues in receiving payments thru them for our venture here in #Paris. I've tried reaching them on phone, thru email, but failed. During a #pandemic, when we need digital solutions, they should b better than this!

  • XRPcurt XRPillionaire (@XRPcurt) reported

    @RuleXRP @PayPal Wasn't their big headline: Buying, Selling, and Trading???? How can they just shut you down and lick up your account for 180 days. That's 6 freaking months. BULLS**T. Trying to get rid of customers already.

    I'm always having problems with PayPal, wtf...

  • AsReasaid AsReaSaid (@AsReasaid) reported

    @Chia6th @niaann28 @caryseffie1 Paypal won't refund your money. I had this issue before if you have paid a deposit for a service and not the full amount, they won't refund your money. You had to have paid the full amount. However you can get your bank(if your PayPal is linked to your card to open a case.

    @Argos_Online click and collected my order earlier but one lego box was broken and no other in stock so opted for refund. was via paypal so given a reciept for £25 refund by checkout assistant but later got email saying only £5 refund to my payal account.

  • TakoyakiGamma Steve - Ghost in the Machine (@TakoyakiGamma) reported

    @ArgosHelpers @AskPayPal yes, I've been in touch with them, It's not a problem on their end as they're allowing me to use the nectar points. it's your site disabling the paypal option afterwards that is the issue
