  • tinycatfriend jay !! (@tinycatfriend) reported

    i know i could probably issue a paypal chargeback but i personally feel uncomfortable doing that. i don't know that person's circumstances, even if they are a scammer, who knows what's led them to that. i support others getting their money back though, i get it

  • furochan_eats Quarantyna (@furochan_eats) reported

    @AskPayPal Hi there –– having serious trouble logging into my account (changed phone numbers, can't get in without y'all texting my old phone...) Is there any way to contact customer support directly?

    @discord Heyho! I already left a message and two e-mails but up to now my problem is not solved. How long does it take to reactivate my account? The chargeback was a mistake and the outstanding amount has already been paid via PayPal.

  • i_rail_femboys fl1ppy (@i_rail_femboys) reported

  • CommieSpriggan Spriggan Dysphoric 🇱🇧 (They/Them) (@CommieSpriggan) reported

    hey @PayPal @AskPayPal, I am like a dog w a bone. I wonder how many other poor people you've classified as "businesses" to commit tax fraud would be a shame if a class action lawsuit was filed and finally took down your obviously predatory company that has been grifting for years

  • nekkyochan cat 🐙 (@nekkyochan) reported

    @i_rail_femboys paypal is just shite in general with the way they deal with things i tried getting a verification issue solved through their resolution system and they did nothing except tell me to /do something i can't due because of issue/ ?????

  • nourah23447 نوره (@nourah23447) reported

    @R6esports @PayPal Hi. I can’t make a payment on my account and I contact you but never respond to my messages. I need help soon as possible this is unfair I was looking for solution for a while but I couldn’t find any solution to my problem.

  • araff1224 gheeRoofLee (@araff1224) reported

    @dotjenna @PayPal It's so funny how you think you have sway like Donny boy, tweeting for contributions to your legal team. Trying to take down corporations like PayPal. Your a nobody in grand scheme of things. Sending thoughts and prayers

  • Awayfrmitall AwayFrmItAll 🇺🇸 (@Awayfrmitall) reported

    @dotjenna @tauzinger Or @Infusionsoft may choose to go the way of PayPal and the other site that shut down your grift. They may choose not to be associated or allow you to break their terms of service. I guess we all just have to wait and see what happens on Monday.

  • WPushati Wilson Pushaty (@WPushati) reported

  • erincandescent Erin ✨💽 (@erincandescent) reported

  • BrandonWilli13 Brandon (@BrandonWilli13) reported

    My card was shut down due to fraud, and I ordered a new one, and it hasn’t shown up yet. I did this two weeks ago. I can’t get my medications, because all I have is 25 bucks in cash, and I can’t even get money transferred from my bank account to my PayPal card.

    THE ONLY PROBLEM IS YOUR PAYPAL EVERYTIME !!! WHY YOU KEEP BLAME PEOPLE!!!

  • kstampx 14 (@kstampx) reported

    @hanamalikmcr PayPal you're calm then. Just file a dispute on it, you should be able to do that by clicking on the transaction on PayPal (I think it says report a problem, or raise a dispute or something), fill in the deets and they'll raise a case

  • mattmcalister13 Matthew Smith (@mattmcalister13) reported

    @PayPal PayPal customer service is the worst. My account was hacked and I’ve been trying to resolve this issue for over a month and I still can’t reach a real person over the phone to get my money back. If you have PayPal, I highly recommend closing your account!

  • iGrovess Stevie G (@iGrovess) reported

    @PayPal Hi, I’m unable to login to my account because I have an old phone number on it. Can you please help?

  • bxBLAZExd 🔞BLAZE(Artist)🔞 (@bxBLAZExd) reported
