    Both paypal and eBay have now shut down my accounts (temporarily) in attempts to slow me down. Forgive me for pursuing the American dream. Thought that was encouraged around here

  • hanziqianying Mirage (@hanziqianying) reported

    Been spending 2 days in the maze of @AskPayPal @PayPal support channels. Repeating my questions times and times again. Got hung up on their support time. So tired and there’s just no way to solve a problem.

    I put the (50%) deposit down on my son's bedroom carpet today. I was only able to do that because of people's donations through PayPal. Thank you so much.

  • ellovir Ellovir (@ellovir) reported

    @qmee I get to provide my opinions and I can cash out via paypal or Amazon. Also, I love how I am less likely to get turned down with Qmee. Customer service is quite helpful as well.

  • Benjami67223585 Benjamin Hayden (@Benjami67223585) reported

    @rudetoonsart The very same thing happened to me, but I switch my number to the one on my smart phone, and that seemed to fix the issue. But PayPal does not tell you that on their web page. 😒

  • wujutiny ❀ s ❀ (@wujutiny) reported

    @ditasflower What’s the problem? Are you able to accept payments? 🥺 Cause I sent on PayPal

    @AskPayPal paypal no u mean payshit they havent fix my problem with their shitty *** support

  • SakuraBlossomGO SakuraBlossomGOs (@SakuraBlossomGO) reported

    The reason its taking so long is because we’re trying to split the orders between us, as we’re afraid that collecting everything with 1 paypal and placing the order as a whole will give problems, but its such a mess to calculate 😭

  • DanielLIreland1 Daniel L Ireland (@DanielLIreland1) reported

    @AskPayPal i can't transfer money to my bank card it keeps saying unable to transfer right now.i transferred money earlier no problem please help

  • goliath_dj GΩLΪΛŦH (2%) (@goliath_dj) reported

    I’m never using @BestBuy online service. It sucks! They’re reps don’t help and so far dealing with @PayPal over the phone to fix my issue with @BestBuy is even worse. I’m just constantly passed from one person to the next with no solution

  • 7ayatmok Personne à Responsabilité Limitée (@7ayatmok) reported

    @blankettrap - For CIH you can link your Mastercard and send money - For Attijari they have something called Attijari-Paypal to receive money but only for businesses - One way to bypass this issue is to request a Visa CIH International card (200 MAD per year) and you can receive money on it

  • Simonreah SimonR (@Simonreah) reported

    @AskeBay what’s happened with the payment options? Since I had a notification I have to login every time I want to buy something. Why do I have to keep logging in to PayPal? It’s always just been linked automatically.

  • RNTD ᴮᴱisComing⁷_NOV20th💜🐥🐱 (@RNTD) reported

  • Christin_RB Christin (@Christin_RB) reported

    Got all the way through PayPal and everything, but when I'm redirected to the Walmart site to complete my order all of a sudden the site is broken? And now I hear they oversold and are cancelling orders 🤔. #ps5 #walmart #walmartps5

  • EBrown21401895 E Brown (@EBrown21401895) reported

    @AskPayPal .. shut down my account! I don't game. Never have, never will. You allowed a $50 card to be charged to my account which I want CLOSED! I'm battling lung cancer. I have not purchased anything let alone some stupid game card. CEASE AND DESIST IMMEDIATELY

  • TorquedAgain Torqued (@TorquedAgain) reported

    @ComicBook Unhappy is an understatement. I had one in my cart today. and every credit card and PayPal kept failing with "Sorry - we're having some problems - try again later." "Later" never came. The PS5 vanished from my cart and was replaced with "Out of Stock."

    @kyliecosmetics Everything is selling out so fast we can't check out... paypal is down :/

  • AntnHz Antoine H. (@AntnHz) reported

    ... in the meantime, because of this, I'm having trouble with my actual bank. I'm only short about 80€ to keep them from closing my account before I can sort the thing with PayPal out, so, every little bit would help. I'll be eternally grateful. Thank you! 2/2

  • JustinCapezza J-Cap (@JustinCapezza) reported

    @PayPal I am having a payment hold issue, I’ve tried reaching out numerous time and your automated voice message claims you cannot take care of my inquiry over the phone. I came back to PayPal like an idiot. Once this money releases i will be deleting my account again, for good!

  • JGLZaE Yavin (@JGLZaE) reported

    @elonmusk Hey Elon my PayPal account is currently with - $15 (negative) balance. Sorry bro, will fix it as soon as possible :(
