Paypal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • CuntBartDemon Bort (@CuntBartDemon) reported

    @ZackTaylorFA Some Businesses used "pay for friends and family" instead of using the invoice option body to get away with fee paying. This was a legitimate issue so PayPal had to do something about it.

  • oluwa_fabulous Oluwafabulous (@oluwa_fabulous) reported

    @PayPal @OneikaTraveller I have issue on my paypal

  • BBastiel Bastiel (@BBastiel) reported

    @NSFWaga PayPal has this incredible way of addressing legitimate legal issues in their platform but never explaining it so it always comes off as seeming as a stab to the users. They’re doing this to make it so you can’t commit tax fraud by hiding income as personal transfers

  • misnina_star Nina⭐(Comms OPEN) (@misnina_star) reported

    I just woke up, looked at my phone to insufficient funds (should be, should be, SHOULD BE fine if I move things around) and now have been trying to frantically move things around and get paypal to do something instead of "error" and I haven't been able to put pants on yet

    Every month I will be selecting one person from those who submit a question or problem (that goes on to be published), to win £20 sent via PayPal or CashApp! 🏆💸💰

  • NSFWRedditGuy NSFW guy (@NSFWRedditGuy) reported

    @AskPaypal hey I’m having trouble logging into my PayPal account. It’s asking for a confirmation from my phone number but my phone recently broke so I can’t log into it. There is no option to confirm through email what do I do?

    @bibicosplays It's defamation and harassment. They know there are other ways to contact a seller or to resolve an issue. Processors like PayPal even encourage contacting the seller first and sometimes offers to mediate to prevent charge backs

  • Dean_Woodyatt Dean Woodyatt (@Dean_Woodyatt) reported

    @martinellirodr4 @Creality3dP Use a different funding source for PayPal , If you have enough $$ in the account, THEN pay, stuff mostly works for me. If PayPal has to pull funds from elsewhere, that’s when I sometimes get issues

  • joshpruce Josh Pruce (@joshpruce) reported

    @StubHub Sold tickets to a @tmbg concerts that we could not go to but got postponed. Was told 2 different times by your customer service I was still getting paid, then I was told you had an issue with paypal. Now Im told I wont get paid at all and cant get tickets back! Terrible!

    @thetrainline hi, tried to book tickets on the app and website, bank cards and PayPal. No payment being accepted, is there an issue with your online booking system at the moment?

  • bibicosplays 🌸Bibi🌸♿ (@bibicosplays) reported

    Please do NOT do chargebacks or report small businesses without first contacting them! If they have too many chargebacks. They can lose their ability to use certain payment processors like PayPal. Which can end up causing them to lose sales and even shut down their store.

  • Nexus_Lights Nexus_Light (@Nexus_Lights) reported

    What the heck is this weird "Money On Hold" system in Paypal?? I received money from it last week and it's keeping my money as hostage. Anyone recognize what this problem is and why it's appearing now?

  • gabstab Gabs (@gabstab) reported

    @LNER hello. Im trying to pay via paypal on app and keeps saying error and rejecting my order. Any ideas?

  • KHershbell ALPHA OMEGA (@KHershbell) reported

    Meanwhile international banking is slow, use @PayPal it works faster and it only costs more if you get your wire transfers free because you are @Chase Private Client like me. @AuthorDanBrown your first book was 187 men to avoid. I’m number 188 or 008 the man of many dreams…
