    @Sweettaterbae If they don't respond when asking for an update, and if it's over the time they said they'd be, see if they respond when you say you'll ask for a refund! If it still isn't delivered and paypal has been used i think you can issue a refund if you used goods and services.

    @FREEBRITNEYOCA1 @breatheonmiley Download privatevpn defo the cheapest. Then connect to an American server and set up a Paypal account on the American website. Download one of those virtual mobile number apps and choose an American number just to attach it to your PayPal account. Sign up to Hulu using paypal

    @ajgard18 @CardPurchaser @HobbyConnector I've been having this problem myself. In the app the final step for paying (PayPal or eBay) doesn't load for some sellers. Have to use the website. I think she's right in that it's in your seller setting for how you accept payment. Not sure what needs to be fixed though.

    @taegierine There are processes in place with your bank for these situations for you to get your money back. I recommend speaking to your bank, credit card company, or Paypal and notifying them of the transaction and any issue you are encountering. [2/3]

    I don’t know if this is a good idea but those who wants to donate but have problems with paypal, i think you can probably go to nearest money changer and ask them if they offer a paypal service. I tried to find other options for you guys but I couldn’t except for 🇲🇾🇭🇰 & prolly 🇨🇳

    @jawsum_art In Spain they do charge you the full price in some stores. But I have bought it in Zavvi, and they have not charged me anything, they have only left the money reserved in PayPal. Problems I see: This Hot Toys costs 220$ and Zavvi costs 295€... which is a lot more

    hey @kofi_button i've had several people tell me they're getting an error when they try to sign up through paypal. I have Stripe enabled in case folks want to use credit cards but paypal was really the basis of the appeal of your platform for me as a creator. Any ideas?

    @jmannies @ac1stl Venmo is owned by PayPal/Paypal is AWFUL! We held a virtual event during the pandemic, all money raised was for a scholarship. PayPal locked the account the day after the event. Private company, their right. My issue is, they would never tell us why or speak to us!

    @TNjhd Taxes and control. They're going to tax anything over $600 from now on. Doesn't matter where it comes from. That includes Paypal, Google Pay, Apple Pay or any other source of money you've ever had. It's a 4th Amendment violation and the USSC will strike him down again.

    @PayPal $15,000 I have worked for is still ******* with your company. Yes I have resolved all issues and you still hold my money. I would suggest if people own a business you do not use @PayPal for merchant services!!!!

    @prodbyhxrV @KotaSeitz @BeatStars They’ve focused on this issue a lot in the past, the biggest thing they gave us was the download ID that logs each download from the customer. Usually when you provide that to PayPal they’ll give the money back
