    @abanplaces This is terrible, can someone let me know Zelenskys PayPal so I can make sure this gets back up and running

  • yourmidnights8 Marion 🪩🌈🍑 (@yourmidnights8) reported

    Is anyone else having issues with the Android PayPal app? Mine keeps closing itself when I try to open it. I did install a system update this morning though and suspect that may be why (I cleared the cache and it didn't help).

  • conceptcatart Cat | ConceptCat 🐈‍⬛🎮🍔 (@conceptcatart) reported

    @VigorouslyPlump However... This is actually a bank issue and not PayPal's, and PP TOS states the amount of what they'll cover and what circumstances. Banks have TOS, too, with the amount of money they will cover. They're contracts. Gotta read them! Always ask all the questions, too! 2/x

    y’all steady complaining bout cashapp shutting y’all down. if y’all don’t get a real bank and use Zelle or PayPal or ApplePay. 😒 cashapp don’t be worth it and it’s not secure at all

  • fundhunter_co Andrew 🇺🇦 (@fundhunter_co) reported

    @IanSmit29744947 Don't think they have had any major blowups. They exited Serco in time. $META has been disappointing, to say the least. But I think they are probably around break-even on it. A bigger issue may be not reducing stocks when they hit high valuations such as PayPal $PYPL.

    i thought i was banned off paypal, turns out its just down lol

  • typhoonprick NARDO 🌪 (@typhoonprick) reported

    Continue checkout You will see confirmation page Click on Confirm payment, and you will get successfull order page If you got error, that's mean card could be dead or maybe it's already linked to another paypal account

    The first time with the OG merch box I've had problems with @PayPal so that was ****** up. And I couldn't order cuz don't had visa/mastercard. The team even proposed to send merch from the core team, that was a ******* chad move must say but I couldn't accept it.

  • geekSquared Paul Webb (@geekSquared) reported

    @IRISParentMail I made a payment at 1.24 this afternoon into my child's dinner account, it is showing and being deducted from my paypal account but has yet to show up in the App or on the schools systems, are you having system issues or is this just my payment?

    @adamboultonTABB @VodafoneGroup I had a similar problem with PayPal’s AI which closed my account without any reason or appeal….there is no such mechanism to appeal nonsensical decisions.

  • oddbodd13 John Appleton 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇧🇼🎭🇿🇦🏳️‍🌈 (@oddbodd13) reported

    @BarclaysUKHelp @AskPayPal It's ridiculous that I have to have the Barclays app to add a debit card to my account. I do not wish to use that app. I had no problem adding it to my Ebay account. As such I won't be using PayPal for Ebay transactions in future unless you change this.

    @akuochisukiini Hello, sensei! Is it possible to purchase your work directly without Patreon and fanbox? If possible, through direct PayPal transfer? I can only use PayPal for direct transfer because of technical issues. I cannot use it to subscribe to Patreon or fanbox. TT

    @Tomochii_chan I have an advice about alternative option of Paypal. You can use TransferWise/Wise and Payoneer. My fellow artist in Indonesia have a problem abt paypal bcs of gov and they using Wise and Payoneer as alternative.

  • Bashar3A Bashar (@Bashar3A) reported

    @rrmdp @ayushtweetshere We have local payment solutions, but problem is they are not recognized internationally and require sms authentication. So will likely have high abandon cart rates. I use PayPal, but it’s causing a lot of issues with many users, declined CC or forced registration

    @nxcare I booked tickets through the website/paid with paypal. I clicked confirm and paypal threw an error but the money has been taken, I have no confirmation email either. Can I query this transaction? I can't get though to CS and I've already spent 20 minutes on hold.

    What's wrong with Paypal?? Can't even login with it always says Rate Limit Reached? There's no helpful article on their site either.

  • sketchygothandz Ziggy & MV's Violent Drama on Crowdfundr 8/15 (@sketchygothandz) reported

    @comicsgateLs In that thread two Rippaverse stans tried to get me and Michael Malone into a debate despite both of us not wanting to. Eric should focus on getting his books out and fix his problems with PayPal not playing victim to pay for his light bill.

    @j88052141 @GoddessPandorra But subs are weak, and can usually be talked into divulging login information for PayPal or something: mistresses know how to push sub's buttons, so to speak. And if the mistress is good at computers, she can find things that the sub didn't think of.
