  • UsagiHikaru 🔞Usagi Hikaru 𓆩🐰𓆪 VTuber (@UsagiHikaru) reported

    @Ludmila_Jeanne Anyone with gfx in their bio or name is a scam. Is it possible to refund through PayPal? If they don't pay you back, PayPal will and they'll have a negative balance + a strike against them possibly even their account shut down.

  • ATNPins AllThingsNerdyPins (@ATNPins) reported

    @CMONEYMAKER @PayPal They closed me personal account for “copyright issues” because I resold some items made by someone else and then shut down my business account after they also took $5000 and banned me.

  • iamyashasantana iamYashaSantana (@iamyashasantana) reported

    @AskPayPal i cannot access paypal app or website. error 403 on web and app keeps saying we cant process your request

  • Chiazorkay1 Sir Kay😁 (@Chiazorkay1) reported

    @Ogorimma @renoomokri I'm having problem linking my debit cards to the PayPal. .its frustrating, probably I will try to a trusted family or friend that has it...its a ******* annoying app...

  • JevsterChester 🦷 | Jev |🦷 (@JevsterChester) reported

    @Scared_prince I use paypal invoices or Ko-fi Commissions! òvó I usually send the invoice after the initial sketch is reviewed and approved. PP has an option where you can write down the minimum that they can pay (say like, if you want to do the 50/50 payment option)

  • willkriski Will Kriski (@willkriski) reported

    @PayPal won’t let me shut down an account I created myself for someone I helped out and then who eventually died, without asking the family for the death certificate and other info etc. @AskPayPal #awkward

  • stickontwit Fine and Dandy (@stickontwit) reported

    Hey @PayPal it might be a good idea to not ask for feedback when you haven’t resolved my issue. You’ll get a “frowny Face”. This is what happens when you outsource your Comms to a Bot and not a human.

  • badbanaynas badbanana🍌🔞 (@badbanaynas) reported

    @beedoesstuffs yee! it should accept paypal! is it having trouble? O:

  • Michafrar Michael (Michafrar) (@Michafrar) reported

    I finally fixed the Gumroad issue. You can now use Paypal again to purchase my book, phew!

  • lulusaesthetic1 𝖑𝖚𝖑𝖚 ᵏⁱᵈⁿᵃᵖᵖᵉᵈ ᵇʸ ᵐᵉⁱ | DMs closed (@lulusaesthetic1) reported

    @pop_salty idk :( maybe paypal will shut them down sigh

  • IdkOkDkntBulli Because yes (@IdkOkDkntBulli) reported

    @RngStorm @RazerANZ Wish I saw this earlier it would mean it might have been another headset I could throw at a wall and my box of broken headsets would be growing at an alarming rate and my money in my paypal would be dropping at an alarming rate

  • itsMPC89 Mr. Mike (@itsMPC89) reported

    @ShardiB2 It is just crazy. Imagine some centralized payment app like PayPal charging you 200$ to send 400$. It would be dead in a week. "But it is decentralized bro". They should have predicted this issue and fix it in 2017. Vitali is no Satoshi.

    *ARE YOU A GHANAIAN 🇬🇭 OR NIGERIAN 🇳🇬 HAVING ISSUES WITHDRAWING FROM YOUR PAYPAL ??? NO MORE.* *US 🇺🇸 PAYPAL ACCOUNT AVAILABLE @ A 20% TRANSACTION FEE* *DM FAST 👍*

  • TofferTeam Toffer Team 🔞✨ (@TofferTeam) reported

    @3oAiiKfPqZU0j Sure, the problem is most of our staff members and commissionists all around the world won't accept them yet. That's why we were using PayPal in the first place.

  • ian_ianm8349 ian martin (@ian_ianm8349) reported

    Coles Online: Due to operational issues at our Coles xxxx store, your order couldn't be fulfilled for today. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. If your bank card / PayPal was charged at Checkout due to pre-authorization, this will be refunded back to you automa

  • Trishavision Patricia Lee Ingold 🎬 🎥 (@Trishavision) reported

    @paypal are you down? I'm having trouble paying for @magAwards. Help!

  • GregKimble8 Greg Kimble (@GregKimble8) reported

    @CMONEYMAKER @PayPal The problem is they aren’t regulated like banks. I had an issue and this is what I ran into over and over. So frustrating. Kudos to you!!

  • HornyRanch Horny (@HornyRanch) reported

    @eneba_games How are we supposed to buy games if the delivery fails all the time and support is not responding for over 24 hours already. Other people seem to have the same issue in the comments and there is not even a statement for it. Might have to open a PayPal refund dispute very soon..

  • TekUmudum6 Tek Umudum (@TekUmudum6) reported

    @pulte 3QbBJpVAdAia1CTHCgfiXesL94ZScwz9yS This is my BTC address. coinbase. Please there is no PayPal in my country. You are the solution to my problem. Give me a helping hand, hear my voice, save me from this swamp life.

  • _Tsumiki1207 Tsumiki (@_Tsumiki1207) reported

    I use @PayPal Buy now Pay later with no issues at all but yet yourself & @Klarna refuse it because "My Card was used without my permission" because these online retails cant actually get there act together and fix there poor Data Control becomes my issue

  • MM465442142 MM4💋 (@MM465442142) reported

    @CMONEYMAKER @PayPal Hey! OMG! I’ve had this issue since 2019! I’ve filed complaints with all relevant agencies. I have refunds I never received through PayPal & I still never got them. Paypal even tried to say I owe them money. What do I need to do?

  • Morphsuit Zack Morris (@Morphsuit) reported

    @thetradingchamp @PayPal @AskPayPal Please get rid of PayPal. I’ve been trying to purchase your discord for 3 months now and nothing but issues with PayPal. I have a business also and they are horrible to deal with and always limit your account

  • JGATRAT Johnny Rat (@JGATRAT) reported

    woe of having a twitter following: almost weekly, a random account DMs me asking me to rt their paypal bc something terrible has happened to their family/pets. and normally im not cynical and try to lend a hand. but they keep getting fishier and fishier.

  • lenfestey Rob Lenfestey (@lenfestey) reported

    @CMONEYMAKER @PayPal I tried to send an email to the email address for the law firm but it didn't go through could you help me get in touch with them? Dealing with a similar issue right now myself

  • PanchoV08 PanchoVilla (@PanchoV08) reported

    @theladykatie I bought a bear trimming kit a couple years ago for $12 bucks. Got a weird broken english thank you note with a promise to PayPal me $15 if I emailed them that I left a review. Left review, sent email, got paid. So weird.

  • EliseCharlebois SybilSpeaks (@EliseCharlebois) reported

    @Terrilltf @AskPayPal @PayPal 🤚 Same here. They allowed $1,500 to be charged against my account without authorization by scammers before I caught it. It is impossible to reach a live person so I immediately shut down my account. They keep sending me emails that are generic, which I don't trust.

  • AntmanGrazi Antony Graziano (@AntmanGrazi) reported

    @AskPayPal I want to avoid a lawsuit please get a hold of me. I was on a 180 day charge back hold and at day 169 they decided to take all the money… I had to 2 accounts that did the same exact thing selling seeds online they both got shut down, The lower balance was returned.

  • Akeashar TLC (@Akeashar) reported

    Well, this weekend is off to a super crappy start. I'd be happy with solutions to one of my issues, but I can't go to a computer store until Wednesday, and PayPal don't have actual human support staff until Monday.

  • HiseyMichael Michael Hisey (@HiseyMichael) reported

    @andreijikh @Chase @coinbase I started having issues w Bank of America a while back. Started using BofA via PayPal and it works fine now.
