  • BrucePerens Bruce Perens K6BP, 3 times Moderna vaccinated. (@BrucePerens) reported

    PayPal Zello and it's credit card terminal just work. No problems at all. Their rates are a little confusing. There is another credit card terminal vendor that offered good rates, ran a big advertising campaign, and then ended up unable to login any users, for weeks now!

  • iMunchUK iMunch (@iMunchUK) reported

    @JosephLarold @PayPal Same here, I think they are having issues or have been compromised

    This is a reminder! Especially to ALL CONTENT CREATORS You need to have 2 step AUTHENTICATION ON EVERY SINGLE LOGIN. Emails: YouTube Twitch PayPal Instagram Twitter A hacker only needs a crumb

    Can't login to PayPal after changing my phone number. Their solution? Log in and change the phone number on my account. I CAN'T FUKCNHFGJ LOGIN!

    @fakegothsarah @JohannesTEvans It's been two years and my credit card and Verizon account are still under my old name because the hoops to jump through to fix it are NOT worth it. Thank God I set up my PayPal with the name I planned to use instead of the one I had bc I've heard they are a nightmare to fix.

  • samdrastek Sam (@samdrastek) reported

    @Connect36580822 @mdfdvntrs @JohnHennessy001 If a provider shut you out, you’d have the same issue accessing fiat—though companies like VISA & PayPal have already shut people off from accessing cash/credit without having to meddle with internet access.

  • FishermanGary1 Fisherman Gary (@FishermanGary1) reported

    @skycerealsenpai Can you use Apple Pay or PayPal to try and circumvent the issue?

  • MyndXGames PositiveMynd (@MyndXGames) reported

    Well my biggest tweet is now in a way about twitch not solving a rampant problem on their site. I encourage everyone to use paypal if you want to donate until twitch has figured this out so they get less profit.

  • EulaSupport hydro (@EulaSupport) reported

    @AskPlayStation hi , i have a problem with paying for a fortnite pack on my playstation account, i know i have the funds on my paypal account, the paypal account connected is the correct one and it gives me this error every time i try to buy it “E-8210604A”

  • KrishobijoonOt7 Kris ¹¹¹💜 ⁷ (@KrishobijoonOt7) reported

    Anyone received an order confirmation of My Universe paid thru Paypal?. My friend has issues and til now hasn’t receive the confirmation, thought she’ll receive it when it’s released/dispatched? Thanks.

    @AskPayPal Do you have any issues with Link to PayPal because i cant Link my Google pay to paypal

  • KTWorldC KT World Communications (@KTWorldC) reported

    The nightmare continues: despite @Zoom sending me a refund, @PayPal still retried withdrawing my account. Now my bank account is at negative $11K. I called PayPal and they were incredibly rude. "I can't snap my fingers and fix this." I get that...but I have more checks coming due

  • metaIclaw gay wizard wednesday (@metaIclaw) reported

    @wolven333 is the card in your moms name or yours? bc paypal is pretty strict on that and there’s a possibility of you getting locked out or having your money locked out if theres an error :( it’s really ****** but despite that, it might be alright to link it if she doesn’t have the app

  • jwmcgowan jwmcgowan (@jwmcgowan) reported

    @musicmom624 That is a terrible policy on PayPal’s part. They are obviously aware of a problem with VSD because they are getting so many requests for refunds from them.

  • Aphexangel Aphex (@Aphexangel) reported

    Someone has been impersonating me on YCH commishes. If someone contacts you about a problem with payment on something you already bought from me and asks you to send it to a different paypal, please report them.

  • RealPeglegPete Pegleg Pete (@RealPeglegPete) reported

    @roorooyes4 @weenoonie someone was impersonating hers and looking for PayPal donations, Marion may have taken hers down until Twitter get their freeking act together.

  • Unicorn_Noob_69 Savannah Banana (@Unicorn_Noob_69) reported

    Totally forgot to let you guys know, after a week of back and forth with @PayPal & providing everything they asked for on the theft that happened to me on 7/11, they didn't take care of the charging the victim issue. Still a trash company and getting nothing from me ever again🖕🏻

  • Rinnevere1 Teek (@Rinnevere1) reported

    On august 20th I was told by @OhmegaSuits 's owner ohm @d0gofthunder that $63.00 payment for court filing fees and expedited mail costs would be "no problem, can be done in a couple weeks." It's been almost a month. I sent you a paypal request last week.

  • frankbluth Barça Manc via CHI (@frankbluth) reported

    @PS5restocks_etc Mine said it couldn't process my card.. switched to Paypal, same error.. got it in my cart multiple times digital and disc and was getting the same error.. weirdly, I've got a pending charge for a disc from Paypal, but no other confirmation..

  • ttvPerritu Angel García (@ttvPerritu) reported

    Awesome @ovh_support_us ! There's a @PayPal login mirror in one of your domains, hosted in a @a2hosting hxxps://sherrythompsonddns[.]nerdpol[.]ovh/signin-authflow But seriously, check it please.. Also, the "Abuse report" fails when parsing the URL at OVH.

    @MatthiasGabrie6 @ShaanVP @opensea The utility is an instantly tradeable, safe, liquid market (if there is demand). PayPal requires trust and slow, NFT is provable ownership of asset
