  • zaku709 Zazaa 😷 on mental health break 🥲 (@zaku709) reported

    @levrux Pain... ;__;) I have friend from TH that doesn't even have access to Paypal and thus having issue to accept international comms too... Why they gonna bite small business / artist like this😭

  • AstrosJake Jake Sumeraj (@AstrosJake) reported

    @SolMajestic @StubHub I used a PayPal account, not a credit card. Also the stubhub website is essentially shut down on the browser on the computer I used last night to list my tickets. I can’t even look at tickets listed for sale. If I use another browser or another computer things look normal...

  • preethipreetam Preethi Reddy (@preethipreetam) reported

    @PayPal your support is terrible. I'm experiencing difficulty with regard to a refund request that I have not raised and the vendor is constantly on my case since I'm asking them to be patient but no help is forthcoming from your end.

  • silyue ☀️ Yuette ☀️ semi-active (@silyue) reported

    @rin_meraki It makes sense, but I also know Paypal had the exact same experience with a large merch artist last year hmm I can vouch at least that a freshly set up account receiving 2k+ transaction within the first week has not had any issues yet!

  • cufckit Andy Hall (@cufckit) reported

    💻 The @EFL are aware of an issue meaning any fan trying to purchase iFollow using an existing payment method cannot complete the transaction. Please choose 'credit/debit card' or 'paypal' as your payment option and re-enter your details to solve this issue #cufc

  • ArtisticVisuals reshad (@ArtisticVisuals) reported

    @mew_psd @PayPal Idk why they randomly limit or shut accounts down. Lost hundreds in the past and for no reason

  • codyjaytee420 coty (@codyjaytee420) reported

  • TouchdownTips TouchdownTips (@TouchdownTips) reported

    @kfantasy_sports @fantasy_nfluk Fair play Rich, I'd had a few people message me over the last few months with concerns over payment, refunds etc... I was willing to give Paul time given the Paypal issues, so I'm glad that things are being corrected and the admin side is getting addressed by yourself (and Phill)

  • godschyld777 daniel wiseman (@godschyld777) reported

    @PRRHorseRescue I haven't had any trouble in the past to donate, but now paypal wants my mobile phone# and I don't have one. Never have. I don't know why they've started this now.

  • Step_on_lego_ Step on lego (@Step_on_lego_) reported

    @UnknownYt200 @OfficialF2Games I don't want to get in to any arguments but gore isn't illegal in anyway. And google play wouldn't just take down Felix's game because google play already knows that there are gore in the game. The real reason is because he put paypal donation on his game.

  • EFL EFL (@EFL) reported

    We are aware of an iFollow issue whereby fans are unable to use an 'existing payment method' to complete their purchase. If you are purchasing a match pass for tonight, please choose 'credit/debit card' or 'PayPal' instead and re-enter your details. #EFL

  • Dragonminded915 Dragonminded915 (@Dragonminded915) reported

    @PayPal @AskPayPal So, what happened to those transparent fees and simple systems? Why'd the price increase for the same thing you've always offered, right when it counted? In the middle of a pandemic? Fix it or you will lose far more than one customer.

  • FinDemonHera FinDemon Hera 😈💸 (@FinDemonHera) reported

    $34.80 from the next hundred on paypal 🤪 finsubs go fix it

  • scalesanspirals Scales🐍😴🔞 (@scalesanspirals) reported

    @limewah Is it the same as Paypal? Because I know they also have issues, but as long as it's not mentioned in the invoice or transaction you can get away with it lmao

  • I_mrahulsaini Rãhùl Sãíñì 🌞 (@I_mrahulsaini) reported

  • bearsaremean brendon (@bearsaremean) reported

    It's awkward that I have to do this here and can't on paypal but thank you Christopher and everyone before him, everything helps. I've been buried in making this design work but it's getting there. Slow af but moving the right direction. Vyvanse is a miracle

  • ghastimafrix 🌸Rah🌸 Commissions open! (@ghastimafrix) reported

    lrt might be shutting down my paypal if alternatives are offered in canada one of the reasons i use paypal is because its one of the few digital transfer services authorized up here to my knowledge at the very least other popular alternatives arent offered here

  • themorgagexpert Sal Criscuolo (@themorgagexpert) reported from Staten Island Junction, New Jersey

    Anyone hear rumors of a total buyout of $PSFE involving PayPal. Some dude in discord said that’s why they drove the stock down??? Anyone hear anything lol this or are we dealing with fan fiction?

  • sarah2572 Sarah Briggs (@sarah2572) reported

    @StubHubUK Please can you help me with a PayPal payment problem? The wrong details were on my account, So I wasn’t refunded. I changed them but not sure how to get refund now.

  • Downtime_Cards Sam ~*~ Downtime Cards (@Downtime_Cards) reported

    @WatchTheBreaks @PaniniAmerica Yeah it sucks. Had someone straight up emailing me last week with PayPal issues they were having cause the address and name was just right there 🙈

  • LTresure Lost-Tresure (@LTresure) reported

    @GoldMouseStudio Honestly I think best for you would be to do both. Avoid Paypal as much as possible and raise the prices somewhat. The biggest problem is that alternatives that often get suggested aren't viable outside the USA

  • MarbledCummies Cedric 🔞 put yr ****** age in yr bio (@MarbledCummies) reported

    @rhubarb_boi Technically you can put any name in it, the problem is that if PayPal finds out they'll nuke your account

  • yueko__ yue (@yueko__) reported

    Corporate clients sometimes prefer international bank transfer or due to regional limitations have had to use PayPal but no individuals have had issues paying me through these two options throughout the past year

  • TonyBoulton Tony Boulton (@TonyBoulton) reported

    @OfficialPVFC @EFL TBH iFollow have longstanding payment issues. I’m not alone, but PayPal seemed to be the only successful method for me last year and this season the same.

  • AmethystMare Amethyst Mare [COMMISSIONS OPEN!] (@AmethystMare) reported

    @DeerTai I've got them on my screen now, I think I'm going to sit down at the weekend and get a few options laid out. Not sure how clients are going to respond as paypal is often seen as the "safe option". I'll still have paypal available though.
