Paypal Issues Reports

Samuel M (@capitalsyst) reportedPayPal just extended PYUSD to Uganda and Malawi. Uganda and Malawi are harder delivery problems than Nigeria. Not easier. Uganda runs primarily on MTN MoMo and Airtel Money trust account structures with thinner liquidity depth. Malawi's financial infrastructure is shallower still. PYUSD provides faster settlement on the transmission leg in both markets. The off-ramp licensing, local banking integration, and trust account relationships required to deliver UGX and MWK reliably are the infrastructure that determines whether faster settlement means anything to the recipient. In thin-liquidity markets, the delivery leg problem does not compress because the sending leg improved.

SA_Observer (@SAObserver1) reportedWhen I get a message from @PayPal to contact my bank @FNBSA because there is a problem with a transaction my blood pressure rises as I realise that I could be on the phone for hours being pushed from one call centre to another.

Sumit Kar (@SumitKar343905) reported@AskPayPal Hey I'm facing an issue with adding My bank account: My bank account was disabled after failed micro deposit verification attempts. Now I only get “Unable to process your request right now” while linking my bank account. Please help reset/reactivate bank linking.

adelvafa (@iran0pessimist) reportedPayment processors are going after anything labeled as "art" or "commission", holding things up by like 3+ or more days. Kickstarter tried to crack down on legal NSFW art and revoked it, PayPal is doing it now but caught in the crossfire are literally any artists who label their invoices ANYTHING art-related. To get around this, you have to use "Request payment" and click "Friends & Family", and not goods and services. I'm not sure why this is happening, but I've heard on the rumor mill the usual suspects at OnlyFans and PHub have been pressuring payment processors to go after NSFW artists so they can get more people to join OF and PHub as creators, and in the crossfire, PayPal has gone ultra-mode and is icing anything art-related until they can research your portfolio/business to ensure it is up to par. In the case of fellow game creators, you must ensure your storefront content isn't too violent and doesn't have any suggestive themes, because these are being ham-fistedly categorized as "pornography" and this is what payment processors are looking at.

Leto Draws (@letorerot) reportedI have used Payoneer for some tests, but it requires more information than PayPal does for money transactions between users. That´s one of my issues with these platforms.

BeatTheBotz (@BeatTheBotz) reported@cryptorover PayPal is a reminder that even dominant companies can become terrible investments if expectations and valuations get too far ahead of reality.

Pitou (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡ (@Pitouposting) reported@PattyTrills Imagine being so insecure you have to flex your finances on someone going through financial trouble. You reap what you sow and if I had to guess soyboyluke's PayPal account is going to dry up pretty quick here.

burritos (@K3RO_S3NE) reported@kyoujistattoo @Lacrimosa_Fadia I didn't say anything about money. I'm talking how many people like it 😭 extremely laggy, paypal problem, off-brand Warframe gameplay, and we had some ugly *** loli thrown in our face immediately along with a phoebe rip off. That turned people off immediately 😭
-
stop cop city / land back (@ickyBlam) reported@jccfergie @eemaanishere I'm sure, as we all should, it's the "as well" that's the problem dude, it's easy to be like "I don't like this guy and I don't want to work with him" without calling him a fed and releasing his PayPal here on Elon's internet, ya know. Just delete it.

Timi-jah (@iamTimijah) reported@crucifixx042 @AskPayPal Still got the same issue. Got it too?

Cracked Dev (@dev_lawal) reportedWon a hackathon and just got the “send your payment details” email 😭 They said PayPal or wire transfer… meanwhile we know how PayPal in Nigeria is, and this is my first time dealing with wire transfers. Tried Grey but faced issues, now looking at @clevabanking. Thoughts?

Blended Perspective (@harper_dyl66271) reported@MattMillard2 @RealDannyTommo Who ******** am I? Someone who can actually read figures. Net migration crashed to 171k in 2025... lowest since 2012. Small boat arrivals are also down 41% YTD in 2026. I’m British. You’re just a Danny simp raging at facts while defending a convicted kidnapper’s PayPal grift. How much money have you donated towards his boat?

Ducky (@insultduck) reported@wil_da_beast630 @FedEx Wil, you are big enough on here to get their attention, I'm, sure. But, I had a similar runaround situation with PayPal not too long ago involving someone fraudulently using my account to issue payouts. When their customer service was useless, I started finding people in their corporate structure on "Linked-In" and emailed them directly. In my case, it finally got the attention of someone in the executive office, who actually resolved the issue in ten minutes. So, if this doesn't get their attention, start privately contacting anyone you can identify at FedEx corporate. Skip the traditional customer service route. You've got to get a hold of an actual decision maker.

paulmary (@paulmary70) reported@slothnotsorry @0xAdesola Or what you should have done was the link they sent to your email, click on it then it will take you to that tremendous visa card page, click on the drop down and change the country from Nigeria to USA then if you have or know anyone with PayPal account select and send it there.

Kay (@kay_myg) reportedIn July 2013, Chris Reynolds of Pennsylvania became the world's first and only quadrillionaire for exactly two minutes when a massive @PayPal glitch credited his account with an astronomical $92,233,720,368,547,800 ($92 quadrillion). This accidental fortune made him a million times richer than the actual wealthiest person on Earth and was roughly 1,000 times greater than the entire planet's gross domestic product. The digital dream shattered the moment he logged into his online portal, where the system had already auto-corrected the error back to $0.00. PayPal later apologized and made a donation to a charity of his choice, while Chris jokingly noted that if the money had been real, he would have paid off the entire United States national debt and bought his favorite baseball team, the Philadelphia Phillies.

-
jemini×2 💾 (@jeminix2) reportedReason why I would advise putting that specifically in there is in case of charge backs and scammers- if you out nothing and they decided to charge you back, PayPal will look at your invoice and see that there was no good or service written down and you'll have a harder time getting your $ back!

Harambe Lord 69 (@harambelord69YT) reported@ns1778 @realradec HBO doesn't take "foreign" card payments. Even with PayPal, we technically can't legally. I had to buy an account through a website and get the login. Well using a VPN but now I have both suits, so no complaints about it.
