Ronald Britton (@Ronaldp38dy) reported@JayJayasuriya Permanent shutdown with zero explanation is such a hard place to be, no reason means no way to even fix whatever triggered it. Hope @AskPayPal actually gives you something concrete soon.

SOFTBUNNYHOUSE +16 (@SoftBunnyHouse) reported@Charlie088571 @YellowBunFeet Besides, towards the end of my NSFW trayectory, I lost my payment methods due to some stupid PayPal issue, and well, I had even less desire to continue. As I said before, it was a hobby, not a passion.

Mimi (@mimicomments) reported@DrewPavlou Perhaps you could set up something simple like a buy me a coffee or paypal me link so people can support you directly. The Flynn issue seems hopeless for now. I hope that can eventually get resolves but seems you need to have a way for people to support you in general:

TheOriginalKhutso🇿🇦 (@OriginalKhutso5) reported@MasterBolaji Nigerians and no sense of accountability,you used to say the same about Shoprite. Even tiktok or PayPal had problems in Nigeria doing well in other countries but Nah Nigerians are not the problem

Chaos🔞Comms Open (@ChaosReverb) reported@Aerea_caeles If you're referring to what happened to what happens around February when my PayPal account was stolen by my ex-bestfriend, I asked the clients to please request refunds from PayPal immediately several times because I never had access to that account again. I explained the topic in detail here and on Instagram. Some people completed the process and received their money back without any problems. There were 2 people who had problems with their banks, one ghosted me when I tried to explain to the that they should insist with PayPal, another commission never responded to my progress reports, and another asked me to do their commission because I think the bank didn't want to give them their money back and I did it without any problem ª In fact, I still have the records.

WISECP (@wisecpcom) reported@Zarkos85 Hi @Zarkos85 — thanks for letting us know, and sorry for the trouble. It was a short-lived issue on the checkout page and it's fixed now; card and PayPal are both going through again. Please give it another try, and if anything is still off, open a ticket and we'll get on it.

GOAT (@GOAT72573384663) reported@fewchuree Bro, would you tell me how your mpesa PayPal withdrawal issue was resolved. I made withdrawal on Friday, my paypal is 0.00 bal. Yet I didn't get money in my mpesa.

Optus (@Optus) reported@enngees Hi there, customers can recharge their service or purchase add-ons online using a credit/debit card (Visa, MasterCard, Amex, or JCB) and PayPal. An Optus service needs to connect to the Optus network for activation, so we generally recommend setting up and activating the SIM once they've arrived in Australia. If you're still having trouble recharging, please send us a DM, and we'll take a closer look into this for you. -Talia

Daniel Pacheco (@DanStrover) reportedI can't create my account from Venezuela because I get an error when requesting the SMS; I've already tried with all the phone carriers. @AskPayPal

Suyash Verma (@suyashverma) reported@PeterDiamandis Very few people know that Elon had funded SpaceX largely with his own money from the PayPal sale. He invested about 100 million dollars of personal fortune into the company. After three Falcon 1 failures cash was nearly gone. The team assembled one last rocket from leftover parts. That fourth flight on September 28, 2008 had to succeed or SpaceX would have shut down.
-
GrapheneOS (@GrapheneOS) reported@JKhrushche10538 @linuxuser1996 We already provided a clear solution for the bug recently introduced by PayPal above. If you don't tell us what isn't working then there's no way for us to directly help with it. We can only guess what you're trying to do and what's not set up properly to cause an issue.

Glerf (@real_oriox) reported@OpieRadio I suppose you will take down all the paypal links from your streams?

🌙 Baiyue & Maowa!! 🐈⬛ (FLOOF model out NOW!!) (@BaiyueMaowa) reported@RedMaster787 With the whole misandrist review drama + paypal issues I had, VGen probably is so tired of me HAHA I would hate to bother them again for something that is so silly 😭
-
NoCreaturesWereHarmed (@NoCWereHarmed) reportedApparently PayPal was having some issues so I added stripe in the meantime. PayPal should be straightened out by Tuesday as they need those test deposits to clear in my new business account. You can buy via Stripe now.

TheOriginalKhutso🇿🇦 (@OriginalKhutso5) reported@Dhavidote You the only Nigerian making sense, Shoprite, PayPal or tiktok had problems in Nigeria and it had nothing to do with competition but criminality or infrastructure. Nigerians need to introspect and develop a sense of accountability
