  • ladepardee Crista Hartis (@ladepardee) reported

    Cont: I really need to know b/c I wanted to contribute to the costs of a server I'm on & the person streams & I don't trust them enough yet to have more than my username which is why I haven't just sent $10 thru PayPal...will they see it all anyway? @streamlabs @StreamElements

  • 40wattrange 40wattRange (@40wattrange) reported

    @jeffqchen @_ramapcsx2 Yeah if i have the option I will. When I used to run a store it would sell out within minutes of opening and everyone that used paypal would complain about "cart stealing" and it was simply just paypal being slow as ****.

  • Niivani_ 🎀🪐Viv🪐🎀 (@Niivani_) reported

    @KiinadiArt @shin3rdimpact No, boo, that's not stealing, that's rightfully asking for a refund. If they haven't followed through on their end then they'd be stealing from you! And PayPal will act as a middleman before taking harsh measures. Which means they will contact the artist to resolve the issue +

  • Vliegertje15 Sander VliegertjeGaming (@Vliegertje15) reported

    @AskPayPal hello i have a problem with a refund can you help me? I did send a dm!

  • dirbasiyeh Kendal Dirbasiyeh (@dirbasiyeh) reported

    @AskPayPal How is it that you guys are in the lead for the WORST customer service ever! Literally taking peoples money and not giving them a chance to solve things, accounts are being shut down and online business are being hurt during these troubled times, they don’t give a F !

  • BlockchainMone1 StimpackBullMarine (@BlockchainMone1) reported

    @APompliano They are trying to reinvent themselves. More and more disruptive finance such as PayPal and square are forcing the oldies to change. The problem is that they are too big to change in an efficient way. They’re breathing their last breath...

  • jamesjlopez James Lopez (@jamesjlopez) reported

    PSA: @ebay checkout error "Your payment didn't go through. Please check the card info and billing address or select a different payment option." Likely issue is PayPal "primary" address not same as shipping address, occurs regardless of guest checkout or payment method #grrrr

  • u3akfd7f Chimes again 💙 (@u3akfd7f) reported

    Finished with @eBay,now, last transaction was an obvious scammer with a fake listing, no evidence of post or tracking, taken down, yet my money is still sitting in its paypal account for at least 20 days. @AskeBay have nothing.

  • GameAlchemist2 Game Alchemist (@GameAlchemist2) reported

    But I don't have a PayPal or anything like that (mostly because I sometimes can't trust myself with a credit card lol.) Though I will be willing to negotiate to work around the issue to find a way to repay them for their work. Like I said, I'm kinda desperate.

  • ilyamiskov Ilya Miskov (@ilyamiskov) reported

    @coaaak Used Paypal my entire life and had no issues with it

  • thelukepryor Luke Pryor (@thelukepryor) reported

    @BTC_JackSparrow paying $10 to enter the network is not feasible for most of the population. Its biggest problem however is that you must have money locked in order to receive payment. Imagine if you had to have money on paypal to receive paypal lol.

  • TellerMarie ⭐️Ashby⭐️ (@TellerMarie) reported

    I’m so glad I’ve never used (and will never ever use it) PayPal. Dad has been trying to sort an issue with his account for the past 3 days. Each phone call last nearly an hour being passed around. All because he sold something via eBay and the money can’t be added to his account.

  • AmbitiousWish Ambitious Wishes Clothing (@AmbitiousWish) reported

    The issue on the site that only allowed PayPal payments has now been fixed! Back to accepting all major credit cards!

  • MeWithWinn Opas love WinWin🐰 (@MeWithWinn) reported

    @HaloBCA @PayPal @AskPayPal please read the reply above. And I talked several times already both in DM twitter also CS in application. Is there something I can do for solve this problem?

  • jeffqchen Jeff Chen (@jeffqchen) reported

    @40wattrange @_ramapcsx2 It felt like PayPal would sense the influx of orders and interpret that as an attack then shut things down. It would be slow at first then subsequently fail instantly.

  • sophie_massey1 ~ Sophie ~ (@sophie_massey1) reported from Urmston, England

    @AskPayPal I’ve been ignored for a week now and still don’t have any help about my issue, can someone reply to my DM?
