    running SJW liars: hi I'm an alcoholic I have a very serious problem please give freely to my Venmo and PayPal to aid my recovery also SJW running frauds: let me post daily stories of the alcohol I drink while pretending to be an alcoholic so I can scam money from you in pity

    1/2 Regarding pre orders for our games. That's easier said than done, without special contract PayPal does not allow anymore having more than 14 days between payment and "in-stock" date. It also results in very long waiting times, which we want to avoid after the past problems.

    PayPal access your funds, is there a way around this? If not I’ll probably just shut my account down 😪

  • sukhadatatke Sukhada Tatke (@sukhadatatke) reported

    @AskPayPal Hi. I no longer use the phone number linked to my account, so I am unable to complete the customer authentication. How do I sign in? A representative I spoke to said it would be best to create a new account. Is any other verification method possible?

  • JoeyDoomsday Doom&Gloom (@JoeyDoomsday) reported

    @mercari_app closes the inquiry into my issues with their only solution to contact PayPal AFTER telling me I shouldn't have contacted PayPal before them in the first place. So not only did they NOT solve my problem, they referred me to the people I MYSELF figured could solve it.

  • schus04 schus (@schus04) reported

    @Froste PayPal me 20 dollar bro down bad

  • VtatisSplendr SMArtlex (@VtatisSplendr) reported

    @pulte Don't have one. It's my understanding there're issues on that app. Do you PayPal?

  • housley53 steven housley (@housley53) reported

    @PhoenixRerush It was one of the funniest and at the same time pathetic things. "this is a disaster" (after maybe less than 10 minutes of PayPal being down)

  • Plant_Bruja 𝕊𝕒𝕞𝕞𝕪🌱 (@Plant_Bruja) reported

    So anyways, I have a headache. Someone fix that by giving me coffee money 🥺 Cashtag: $SammyKatzz Paypal: BabyKatzz

  • xQueeenly ✨ Queen ✨ (@xQueeenly) reported

    @Froste now find something else other than paypal to use? this problem is too common for many. glad you’ll be able to donate the money sooner than those 90 days or whatever is it they wanted you to wait.

  • WallStChameleon Jonathan Poto (@WallStChameleon) reported

    People who think PayPal is just launching buy now pay later didn’t have a major online spending problem buying autographed baseball cards on eBay 5 years ago *ahem*

  • ssunshroom em ✧*:・゚✧ (@ssunshroom) reported

    Paypal is the only form of payment I will accept as of right now. I will require that you put down 35% of the set price before I get started to protect myself and my work!

  • gregtha2nd Bald ***** Change (@gregtha2nd) reported

    Very *****-like of Paypal to take money out my account without letting me login to see what & why

  • MysticalMyavar Mystical Myavar (@MysticalMyavar) reported

    Anyone ever have issues with #PayPal just banning your account without giving a reason? Yeeeaaaah... that's been my day. That $5 donation I got was super fraudulent, wasn't it? Mm-hm.

  • maskedpleaserr sara 💓 (@maskedpleaserr) reported

    @gdsslinds hey girl, i had the same problem with paypal i just rang them up and claimed that the money’s from online services (selling clothes, hand photos) and ask them about the money most of the time they’ll send an email to the sender and if they confirm it the money will automatically-

  • carefreesam1989 Sam (@carefreesam1989) reported

    @prodirecthelp I've tried to do this. It won't take payment from any of my cards, Visa or Mastercard or visa PayPal. It just comes up with an error message. Can you advise anything else?

  • DJSqualeMusic DJ Squale of DJ Squale Music (@DJSqualeMusic) reported

    It takes 5 to 7 days to finally get deposited. Or if you use your card, you have a 500$ limit on your money. Oh and you cant use your prepaid card with your money to fund your PayPal the most secure online payments possible or cash app, varo, venmo etc. If you have a problem

    @TheBunnyMonster Oh dang heck yes! (Also RIP us, that eternal typo that PayPal won’t let us fix 😫💀)

  • MSKDefense Marchelle “Tig” Davis (@MSKDefense) reported

    @kevinp2 I have alternatives. Are you a business owner? I love PayPal because the payout is instant and I’ve never had a problem with them. Stripe (credit/debit cards) and Apple Pay has a delayed payout....takes 2-3 days for the funds to actually hit my account.

  • JeannieM28 Jeannie (@JeannieM28) reported

    way if there are delivery issues, I don’t deal with it. You must have PayPal. I am not responsible for out of stock merch. I am not responsible for undelivered merch. I will choose 3 winners. I will dm you & tweet the names. You have until Thursday to enter. I will choose

  • kevinp2 kevinp2 (@kevinp2) reported

    @MSKDefense I use PayPal for my business as well, especially for online-only transactions. It works well, and we haven't had a problem with it... so far. We also keep a credit card Merchant account with Clover with a card reader. The fees are comparable. 1/2

    @TAlTHEGUY that’s so fcking sick bro paypal needs to fix their policies with that playing with people money as if mishaps aren’t a thing

    @TheAntiprude00 Goodluck to you broken translator: encourages children/minors to be destroyed physically and mentally as well innocent men and women in this world. All major credit cards & PayPal have pulled the plug. MindGeek shut down Xtube. They're cornered legally 👉🏾 #TraffickingHub

  • mxrielz 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗶 ☁️💫 ´ˎ˗ debut tba ꒱꒱ (@mxrielz) reported

    @minaetea people are always looking for cheaper prices on fiverr but then the problem with having cheaper prices is that then fiverr will take a dollar for each five dollars then when i transfer it through paypal I still have fees. Not to mention the 2 week waiting time.

    @walterkirn This happened to me: in conversation w/ Twitter friend having problems, I asked if she needed $, the reply - IN MIDDLE OF ongoing string was Yes and a URL was given. I gave some $ and turns out the convo was HACKED by someone in Europe. PayPal wouldn’t refund it either…..so
