    @Evri Your system “Error” made me lose one parcel, £37.00, you take no responsibility, nor the @PayPal returned the money, nor the retailer scammer accepted to refund, because of your stupid error.

    @Rob__Janes Apparently, you found the right person! I made 3 calls today. I tried initially 3 weeks ago & was told by that person that the number was "too new" & to get a friend's number to add so I could get in the account. I've not had ANY issues w/any other accounts. Just Paypal.

    @EricDJuly with all those international orders they thought Rippa was laundering money probably. Once this is all sorted out I don't think he'll have anymore issues with paypal.

  • WL76 WL76 (@WL76) reported

    @paypal security code to login takes forever. #PAYPAL Security SUCKS! Inept security login protocol. Can't make payment due to endless wait for security code. Can anyone suggest a state of the art payment system please? @paypal is too old to be tech current. Yes really.

  • PapaDeRazon Papa De Razón (@PapaDeRazon) reported

    @BarneyFlames I'm old enough to remember buying and selling things on eBay with personal checks or USPS money orders before Billpoint and PayPal emerged on the scene. It was a slow and tedious process.

  • ecomwithbrook Brook | High Ticket eCom (@ecomwithbrook) reported

    10K Chargebacks from customers who received their product. Paypal holding 100K funds bc they blow and I can't pay my supplier. Accounting issues which throw books off 40K. All part of the game.

  • Slackalope Ken (@Slackalope) reported

    @WSJ He’d better start making money instead of using it as a platform for activism. Yes I’m invested via a managed ret. fund (down almost 70% on $pypl). I’m disappointed in their management of the business since I’ve been using @paypal for many years Great business . Bad management.

    @allkpop @WekiMeki Now I checked my PayPal app to see when my payment was due then they flashed an image of an African guy by the top left wall in my bathroom ducking his body down to make something seem awkward but nothing is awkward and they're in their own delusional reality of my life #crime

    @Sashibibi @FrescoShelter There’s more info on the Facebook page. Looks like they operated to pin the broken leg. Not clear if there is a PayPal account for helping out.
