  • IdiotsOfEbay IdiotsOfEbay (@IdiotsOfEbay) reported

    I hate these #ebay #messages ... Buyer: "Can I have this phone for 253? Its all i have on paypal" Me: "No, its a 400 dollar phone at cheapest when broken, this is new" Buyer: "So, you can cut me some slack, right?"

  • SharkOuts SharkBait (@SharkOuts) reported

    @SUBWAY I am constantly getting the error "The card issuer suspects fraud and has blocked this transaction. Please try another card" when attempting to place an order online regardless of payment method (tried PayPal, ApplePay, debit, Visa, MC, etc...) What's the deal? 1/2

  • AaliyahWolf_ Aaliyah Wolf - 🇺🇦 (@AaliyahWolf_) reported

    @nuggalodon Till PayPal closed down??

  • amnashamimnyc Amna Shamim (@amnashamimnyc) reported

    @TheCannaWriter @PayPal I use Wise. It works really nicely. I would avoid Stripe. They took money on my behalf from a client and never refunded it to the client, paid me, or admitted they took it (I saw the paper trail though cos the poor client was trying to help me chase it down.)

  • theboredboar 🐖 The Bored Boar 🐗🇵🇭🐽イノシシ VTuboar (@theboredboar) reported

    @EzemirV @TAGASAING But regardless of that, it was causing a lot of fearmongering and doomposting WHICH I would say caused more trouble than actually help anyone. That post alongside the paypal rumor was a bigger factor to people cancelling commissions than anything.

  • shegun_01 Shegun_01 (@shegun_01) reported

    @PayPal please am having issue with linking my bank account to my PayPal account. Any help??

  • AruhitoMisuhoko Aruhito (COMISSION CLOSED) (@AruhitoMisuhoko) reported

    Another thing is that if this is true then I dont think you need to just consider Paypal only as a problem because there's too many US company based in connection with the Philippines you might want to think ahead (e.x Mastercard, FedEx, ACE, Time Warner, AES etc.)

  • hawker_lady LadyHawker (@hawker_lady) reported

    I know I’m ranting into the void about this. PayPal doesn’t care about people. Lol. Or sellers, if this person decides they don’t want the item 6 months down the line PayPal will have you refund it no matter what. Even if they’ve already used it and are happy with it.

  • AruhitoMisuhoko Aruhito (COMISSION CLOSED) (@AruhitoMisuhoko) reported

    Paypal doesn't even post something regarding with these issue and some people starts to spread unsupported posts :D.

  • weltswife shrabs🌸🔥 (@weltswife) reported

    @ZulkirEinar @nana_illust The guy who's getting elected is also on terrible terms with a lot of international govts so ppl are afraid certain services like paypal in ph might be affected because of this. Tho it's sad some ppl are giving up on ph artists when they need support the most

  • sushshi2 Sushanthi Shah (@sushshi2) reported

    @cineworld I’m trying to book tickets but keep getting a payment error. Is it something at your end? I’ve tried all my cards and PayPal and removed the details and tried again. TIA

  • davidgarciaspai David Garcia (@davidgarciaspai) reported

    @mikael_payrue @damccormick13 Well, PayPal is down 75% and "only" worth 90bn USD, so I suppose every Klarna investor should write down their holding by something similar

  • bibillybaby ash ⁷ 06.10 PROOF (@bibillybaby) reported

    @PayPal you better fix my issue and give me my money I need this album

  • 00_heide HEIDE. (@00_heide) reported

    @soltytears @yeoaein another reason is that some believe paypal is at risk of shutting down in PH so foreign clients aren't happy with that, thinking it's too risky for them to commission ph artists

  • EffieRose18 Rosae (@EffieRose18) reported

    @PayPal You mean you guys random shut down ppl accounts at 2am smh

  • whitehammerfxxk whitehammerYT (@whitehammerfxxk) reported

    @graven222 Lol I don’t use PayPal due to them shutting my account down so I’m currently going through legal stuff with them to get my money out of my PayPal

  • kavickers23 Kyle (@kavickers23) reported

    @RonnyJacksonTX They also sometimes send my PayPal stuff to spam, my minecraft server invoices used to get sent to spam, and half the video games I am registered on get sent to spam. It’s more like their spam filter is **** and less of they’re targeting you. Just saying.

  • fractaltactica1 Garrett Thomas (@fractaltactica1) reported

    Why do you have to make it so incredibly difficult paypal? Like what is the ******* deal??? I know who I am. I was just on the phone with a supervisor. What ******** is YOUR problem?

  • j2inet j2i.net (@j2inet) reported

    @vmware - There is a problem with your store. I'm trying to purchase VMWare Workstation and page is giving me errors. When I select "PayPal" as the payment method it gives me a billing error message without ever letting me enter my actual payment info. Same error for CC.

  • arnavn21 Arnav 🎯⚡ dreamzconnect🐯 (@arnavn21) reported

    @Jayecane I want you to.. paypal in my bio..that will really solve some urgent major issues..

  • TheCydork TheCydork (@TheCydork) reported

    @samhaiiin Don’t worry about it! Honestly, I struggle with pricing the other way bc I live in Malaysia, and 1 ringgit equals like.. 20 cents US. My prices feel insanely high so I knock em down 😔 It’s good to know your worth and make up for losses from PayPal etc

  • businessplumber Kate Kelly (@businessplumber) reported

    Good afternoon @AskPayPal - you said last week you would escalate my problem, & I want to check that you have made clear to the escalation team that I am unable to get past the stuck screen, and therefore any help has to be by email. Thank you.

  • 100percentZach Zach with an H Bartels (@100percentZach) reported

    Dear @SUBWAY, your app SUCKS. At least 75% of the time I try to place an order, it says "Sorry" with some nonsensical error msg (e.g. "Invalid LocationId"). Then it CHARGES MY PAYPAL and immediately refunds it. What a MESS & what a HASSLE. Delete your account and start over.

  • hstickethelp1 Harry Styles Ticket Help Center✨ (@hstickethelp1) reported

    If an account is selling tickets as a SELLER they should have NO problem using PayPal Goods & Services!!! G&S protects BOTH buyer & seller!! 🏷 tickets ono Harry styles tickets London one night only New York Harry

  • theboredboar 🐖 The Bored Boar 🐗🇵🇭🐽イノシシ VTuboar (@theboredboar) reported

    I can't ******* believe the guy who started the rumors about Paypal pulling their service from PH had the ******* ***** to falsify those screenshots to just cause fearmongering. That is not cool buddy. You caused a lot of anxiety and problems for a lot of artists and clients!

  • jabholt013 Jaron גרון הולט (@jabholt013) reported

    @LaurenHandleyTV @PayPal Ouch. Hope they fix that

  • wre_nishaa 王心明 🌷 Nisha (@wre_nishaa) reported

    @reko_ni @YoonaVT As far as i know, the candidate with the most votes have a problem with the US. So there is also a possibility that paypal will cut ties with the Philippines
