SKGODY (@skgody) reported@bizzie_bee555 @njedwards19651 It’s a ****** program and hardly works Are these the people who stole credit card payment software from a porn server and sold it as PayPal?
-
Princess Rainbow Lightning (@Princes01147615) reported@snowwyzenn And to add to my comment, I saw that you only accept PayPal so that would be another problem. Even if I did have the money for it, my Paypal is having issues with getting money put on it so I wouldn’t be able to pay it anyway.

Termites (@TermitesRGood) reported@N1HawkLive @zachbussey So let me get this straight people that have their checking account attached to Twitch. It’s $100 now. But PayPal who charges 3% fee is 50. If that’s the case, a lot of streamers will never get paid maybe two or three months down the road

AceOfHearts (@OnlyAceCards) reported@HeadLocker_ @epykslion PayPal is not working for me rn but I need to play this so badddddd 💔💔💔
-
John - that’s all (@thedizzle28) reported@NovaScotiaa3dh @MikhailaFuller @PayPal oh again, i get it. the problem i have is two fold, 1) paypal is wrong to withhold the funds 2)why are they raising money when they can self fund? they can afford this study on their own, if $70k is going to break the back of the study, they never had a chance
-
MozzuMuscle (@MozzuMuscle) reportedGenerally speaking it's a good habit to always withdraw funds from online money platforms when they come in (I.e. Paypal, patreon, throne, streaming services, etc.) as you never know when an account may be frozen or taken down for any reason.
-
creatrixZBD (@zbdEmanuelle) reported@_kahleah @StuffKSaid It's not that difficult to get a new paypal. Esp if it's been ages since u got yeeted. I am just amazed it seems she got off her arse and solved one of her problems.
-
JustAWuWaGuy (@JustAGuy1610) reported@_Aemeath_ Or at least fix it like AKE fixed their paypal issue.... Just delete it.
-
ZahterBiyagil (@MagnumOpusSP) reported@AskPayPal Well, as I have tirelessly tried to explain in clear English that I cannot access paypal help or customer service because it has 2-step verification . First it sends a code to my email, that's accessible for me, but then asks me to proceed with a whatsapp message or an sms to that Italian host's telephone number, to which I have no access. It is impossible for me to reach your officials in this manner. I will contact unsolicited email but still my anxiety lingers about it. Can you please delete the account linked to my email immediately? Please reread my messages, try to understand it and solve this problem.

If that’s the case, a lot of streamers will never get paid maybe two or three months down the road People just don’t support small streamers every time you get ahead I used to be 30 average now it’s 5 avg and every time it seems like you’re getting head twitch turns around and screws you What do you expect twitch in their analytics?

Omoalhaja (@omoalhajaabiola) reported2017-2018 I lost many gigs just because of payment issues. You had to wait for 14 days for fiverr to clear your funds. Using PayPal with pseudo-names and masked location means you are one message away from getting suspended. It’s truly transformative to see @RaenestApp solving these issues for freelancers
-
Haalover (@Haalove1981) reportedUpdate: It are Paypal issues and the artist decided to refund instead of letting clients wait. I hope we can continue once thing get sorted out.
-
Ryan Kuruppu (@raiiii_kun) reported@0xkarasy @PayPal It doesn’t seem like the update is out yet though. I really hope they don’t delay it under “technical issues” or something vague. I also wonder why banks like NTB, HNB, NDB etc didn’t hop on this
