  • JasenBadia Jasen Badia (@JasenBadia) reported

    @POTUS Oh let’s see, & your administration decided: 1. Hire 87,000 IRS agents to monitor low/middle income families sending $600 on Venmo, PayPal & other apps 2. Send billions of dollars to Ukraine instead of helping people & small businesses here shut down for Covid. You can’t talk JOE

  • ariibay Aunty Mariah (@ariibay) reported

    @brischh Trying checking out with PayPal, I’ve had that problem before and when I chose PayPal it went through fine

  • jenchewlichaeng ACAB (@jenchewlichaeng) reported

    @anthonyjakeob @PayPal It's so early it's hard to see if other people are having issues too. But I can't seem to log in or even change my password

  • Dormin_DIM Dormin - Commissions are open! (@Dormin_DIM) reported

    Some were paid but not marked as such and some were canceled but still on the unpaid list somehow. It's apparently a paypal bug issue. Which is why i asked to contact me with evidence if you were if your invoice was affected by this problem, so i can manualy sort everything.

  • ShapeShifter499 Lance(ランス) (@ShapeShifter499) reported

    @CreatureUnknowm I didn't know paypal charges fees for disputes, is this a new thing? Terrible to charge back when you did the art.

  • MuddaPho Brian Tran (@MuddaPho) reported

    @CengageHelp I bought a book yesterday, but the PayPal website had multiple errors. This morning, I saw multiple charges on my PayPal account from Cengage. Is there a way to fix that?

  • Mips81 Mipsou (@Mips81) reported

    AstroBin_com: @PayPal of all the things that work poorly on your website, this has got to be the final straw: the “Have trouble logging in?” link the MFA code page doesn’t do anything. How can a company this size have broken links?!?

  • desiremines noah (@desiremines) reported

    So the only way to fix paypal's connection to my bank account is by making a new bank account. Definitely not gonna try doing that for a few weeks or months though so. Don't expect to be able to commission me in a while

  • ellitefvr Ellie Agata (縣 恵梨) (@ellitefvr) reported

    @MoonCXIV Lol I wanted to start doing a part time online job but needed PayPal. I’m just bored from not working.

  • ZettleSupport Zettle Support (@ZettleSupport) reported

    We have identified the cause to the issue. Merchants that were deposited a partial amount into their Paypal accounts today, will receive the rest within the amount for tomorrows deposit. We apologise for the inconvenience.

  • elliot_gregs Greg (@elliot_gregs) reported

    Never use @PayPal to receive affiliate commissions. They will treat a product sold 45 days ago as one sold today and put your money on hold for 21 days. It is entirely within their power to fix this - they choose not to. @PayPal4Business @AskPayPal

  • blithebluebird Rhosie 🌱✨ (@blithebluebird) reported

    @puddraws Paypal flagged the automatic payment for no reason. Because of that and Discord not getting their fat stack of 9.99EUR, they disabled my account. Literally had no issues w/payments through Paypal until this month. I did send in an appeal to Discord, so here's hoping lol

  • Rumii_arts Rumii🌸 | Artist (@Rumii_arts) reported

    I finally fixed some issues I was having with paypal. Which will allow me to do commissions again in the near future :D

    @genesislsport I CANNOT BUY PACKS USING PAYPAL...WHATS GOING ON??? TRIED FOR HOURS...PHONE AND COMPUTER NOT WORKING...WHY DONT YOU EVER POST WHEN THERE ARE ISSUES?

  • RitoBandito RitoBandito | (@RitoBandito) reported

    @Samlssms So in my day to day transactions I also use cash app. The issue is that in the furry space everyone and their moms have PP. So it's why I'm asking the community as a whole to move to something else. When I started taking comms I tried using it, but it was always "I have PayPal"

  • greatbignow Aaron Harford (@greatbignow) reported

    @sheepchase Try using PayPal or Skype as an expat American. Damn nightmare. It’s like you’re not supposed to leave the box, or they hold funds for literally 180 days at a time and repeat it every 180 days, say it’s to “protect you from fraud” but the only issue is living outside the US.

  • KateKonigisor Kate Konigisor (@KateKonigisor) reported

    .@PayPal won't refund 305 Euros on a French purchase I NEVER made. "Consistent w/ your history". What? 99% of my activity is payment to/from friends & family. I've never been to France. NEVER have spent Euros with PP. PP FIX THIS! #paypalonly

  • ZettleSupport Zettle Support (@ZettleSupport) reported

    Some users that are connected via Paypal are experiencing problems with their deposits. We're working hard right now to resolve it ASAP. We're sorry for the disruption.

  • BritishBiscuitz BritishBiscuits (@BritishBiscuitz) reported

    @British_Airways I booked a seat for my plane tomorrow, can see that the price was adjusted on paypal and have now lost that seat without an email telling me in advance, i needed that extra legroom for my 13h40m flight, not happy guys, fix this

  • blithebluebird Rhosie 🌱✨ (@blithebluebird) reported

    @Limeveis Yeah me neither.. Not sure why Paypal is suddenly acting up, but if it's going to **** up my accounts by falsely flagging payments that it had no issue doing before, I'm switching payment plans. I just hope Discord reenables my account.

  • _K1ngsGam1ng_ BritishKingEdward (@_K1ngsGam1ng_) reported

    @CCLcomputers Just letting you guys know that your paypal button ain't working and may want to fix it quick :)

  • seleneesper selene 🌙 (@seleneesper) reported

    @enatheory I wanna get one from them too but paypal is causing issues again 😭

  • JGordonBramer Julia Gordon-Bramer (@JGordonBramer) reported

    @LauraLoomer @Zelle PayPal did that crap to my husband years back. ******* more than a few thousand $ which caused him a lot of trouble. I have to use these payment processes for my work, but I make sure to transfer $ out ASAP bc I don't trust them anymore.

  • bilal_hanifx Bilal Hanif 🇦🇫 (@bilal_hanifx) reported

    @alanpjb123 @Etsy I Am Sellinh Gemstones Too On Etsy But My Etsy Payment Option Is Disappeared For Paying My Bill By Paypal Is There Glitch ?

  • Duhitster1yaki Kikko|Cartoon Artist (@Duhitster1yaki) reported

    @RitoBandito Yeah PayPal banned me like 3 years ago for no reason, I've been using Square ever since with no issues

  • Sprinkle_Beard SprinkleBeard (@Sprinkle_Beard) reported

    @AskPayPal who is the best person to talk to for a permanent solution? I had to alter my currency YEARS ago to pay someone in Europe. One time. Ever since then, the app gives me issues transferring to my bank in USD, even though I only operate and receive in USD
