bim codgers (@videogaminggary) reported@PayPal What ******** is going on with your site? I can't sign in

Francisco Reynoso 🇩🇴 (@FranciscoRD9) reported@PayPal @AnthropicAI @claudeai One question: If PayPal makes a mistake, why should the customer have to suffer the consequences? The logical thing would be for the platform to automatically correct its errors, instead of limiting or denying the user’s right to seek a fair solution.

🇺🇸 End H1B F1 OPT TN E3 O1 L1 I1 H4 all NIV 🇺🇸 (@slmimorgan) reported@drjoshcsimmons PayPal has always been a crap product with egregious security risks. Unclear how it launched anyone's career. There is something very shady going down with Tech. H-1Bs are unconstitutional/illegal. Hence, some very, very powerful people are not American citizens at all.

♱⃓˚₊‧꒰ა cierra 👁️🪶|| healing arc ໒꒱ ‧₊˚♱⃓ (@CierraTenshi) reportedI may just be slow and maybe missing or misunderstanding things..but genuinely, what does one even do in this situation? I felt genuinely relieved and happy after receiving this email from @PayPal saying some features of my account had been restored and that I only needed to provide additional information. I logged in immediately following the instructions, but I found nowhere to submit anything. I then messaged customer support only for them to say that I just ignore that email because they decided to keep the limitation. I was cooperative and provided all the info they needed as soon as I could, so receiving that email gave me hope that there was may some progress. I just don’t understand why that email was sent at all if they were just planning to keep my account banned. It feels incredibly misleading and honestly unfair and hurtful.

Jim Cannon (@JPRCannon1701) reported@santanderukhelp trying to make a purchase online via PayPal and apple play and saying bank has declined it. App says no issues so is something down?
-
Raj Nagulapalle (@rajnagulapalle) reported@vikrambuilds worst weekend **** issues i have seen were from delayed webhooks, retries, and almost no clear info while reaching partner teams... debugging **** logs in that state is painful. went through that in my PayPal days and other teams too. thats part of why i am building FetchSandbox MCP now... so devs can run API workflows closer to production from the IDE, instead of only testing one request with Postman/curl.

RickO'Sneek (@RickoSneek) reported@PramilaJayapal PayPal, you poorly manage my tax dollars that earned by taking risks and opening small businesses. The problem is your poor management skills not lack of money.

♱⃓˚₊‧꒰ა cierra 👁️🪶|| healing arc ໒꒱ ‧₊˚♱⃓ (@CierraTenshi) reportedPaypal keeps emailing me to say they want to resolve my issue and I should message them — and then proceed to tell me in their customer support that it was never going to be solved afterall.

Goran Stojcic (@GanSic966) reported@HedgeFundTips The reason I invested in PayPal was due to their entrenched position in Europe, predicated on the idea that Apple Pay’s threat is neutralized by Android’s regional dominance. This, I am afraid is no longer the case. Google Pay is rapidly scaling across Europe, presenting an equally formidable, native operating system threat. Consequently, PayPal’s core branded checkout business is on highly unstable footing. We tend to underestimate the non-linear velocity of consumer behavior. While the shift from writing checks to swiping credit cards lasted couple of decades, the current migration from cards to native digital wallets (smartphones, wearables, and biometric authentication) is occurring at an exponential pace. In an ecosystem dominated by hardware-level convenience, PayPal lacks a structural moat. This fundamental erosion makes a further multiple compression and market cap drop entirely possible. I see a lot of parallels to Charter Communications (which I've been buying this week and last): despite robust legacy fundamentals and an aggressive, long-term share buyback program, Charter’s stock is down 65% in twelve months (worse than PayPal's 38% decline), and 80% over five years (same as PayPal). Both are down for the same reason - a fear that their core product is facing irreversible terminal decline.

The Based Crusader (@Chomag77) reported@PPhantomGray @Keniisu They're kind of a monopoly. Not much we can do about it. Stop using their cards? Most banks only offer services with either of these. Most services only accept payment from either of these. PayPal is also corrupt. Only fix is widely spread crypto.

Wave's AD (@WaveADAcc) reportedConstantly said they would send a wip that same day, and never did, 4 times it happened, stating it was finished. I got tired of it and sent a report through PayPal, luckily I was able to get a refund. I'm saddened to hear it wasn't just me having issues with this artist.

Charlotte Muse (@charlottemusexo) reported@PossessedLettu1 Yeah, you are right i have faced that problem so many times but we still have to use the paypal cause then they think we are some kind of scammers haha

Conte Risto (@accualyisyou) reported@AskPayPal When trying to cancel an order, I am forced into a login loop where I can't do anything within the app. The option doesn't exist on browser after I uninstalled the app, and my phone refuses to continue with it. I have been scammed out of £200 and can't do anything.

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.

AmicuNoa🧜♀️🌊 Vtuber | Emote Comms OPEN (@AmicuNoa) reported@StarlightAkari_ @zachbussey Paypal has been known to lock accounts and lock balances. Venmo hasn't done that to my knowledge and I can pull it out right away. I avoid paypal at all costs because of all of their issues.
