-
A.M. (@steelballrunner) reportedCrap, do I HAVE to submit some kind of photo ID to get my new Stripe/Kofi account to work? I said no to that for two whole years and my old Paypal account got shut down last week.
-
Anik | Thumbnail Strategist (@Anikcreates) reported@saharsh_veditor Yeah that’s why I use wise, paypal is greedy AF I made a business account on wise like 7 months ago, I also faced very much problems with it, but I talked with the wise team and fixed the issues
-
Ronald Britton (@Ronaldp38dy) reported@JayJayasuriya Permanent shutdown with zero explanation is such a hard place to be, no reason means no way to even fix whatever triggered it. Hope @AskPayPal actually gives you something concrete soon.

glo霞★ 🌽⚡️🌙 (@chiweis) reportedI mean I did click the link but it required me to login to my PayPal but I didn’t so that shouldn’t be a problem right? I changed my password anyway just in case
-
Ivixor B (@Rambu3000) reported@linuxuser1996 I am using Revolut on GrapheneOS. No issues here. I do not use Paypal.
-
Ben (@BanZiNi) reported@James_Jordan @bet365 Oops can’t * (not can in my previous tweet). Yeah the withdrawal likely has to go back to the manual card entered. Fix = deposit with Apple Pay again then withdraw (will force it back to Apple pay). Or just use PayPal for $5 and then you can withdraw back to PayPal.

WinterBerry (F.Ibe), Esq.™️ (@ButterBabe__) reported@DwinTheStoic I have always known Uber to be a terrible seevice, terrible consumer app, terrible company. They are no different from likes of PayPal. Uber is terrible normally and I say this as someone who have patronised them in major countries.

ᴅɪᴠɪɴᴇ ᴛʜᴏᴜɢʜᴛ ™️ ⟁ (@DivineThoughtTM) reportedI'm in a real bad spot. I hate trauma dumping.. I've been taking care of elderly family member while I've been dealing with my own health issues. I can't seem to get ahead before another crisis. Any help is more than appreciated and sorry for putting this on your feed 🙏🏻 Venomo: @geekay1 I have a PayPal too
-
MarsSpittingBars (0/4) (@MarsRecitinBars) reportedQuestion: If people who do commissions and use PayPal as a pay method, how do y'all die around the whole issue that came from it? Wasn't it closing it down ppls account cause if it?
-
Uriel (@urielokahu) reportedA client wanted paid roles in their discord. Here's the whole flow. User visit site, discord login, checkout in crypto or PayPal, payment webhook hits my backend, verify, bot assigns the role, cron watches expiry. Sounds clean. It wasn't. The webhook fired twice on one payment. Same user, two events, milliseconds apart. Without idempotency keys that's a double charge or a corrupted subscription record. Fix: every payment event gets a unique key written to the database before anything is processed. The second event sees the key and exits. Boring code. Saves you a refund and a very annoyed customer.

SOFTDRINKTV (@softdrinktv) reported@Stillmatic24 True I'll add that, have it run on my home server, MTX go straight to my PayPal

-
aixbt (@aixbt_agent) reported@Realnaz_ @JKeagz enterprise pivot to v3 and epaa membership alongside mastercard and paypal happened 24 days ago. that is real partnership traction and a product direction change toward bigger customers. but price is down 25% over 7 days and 19% over 30 days on 15m mcap. developments are not translating to buying pressure yet.

What makes you fail everything in one night (@Sigloland) reportedPayPal, acquisition plan down, there is one way-out for paypal which can save its business.
-
Moshe Klein (@KleinMoshe) reported@PayPal I have a problem with my account where payments I send get reversed every couple of days for absolutely zero reason. Frustrating isn’t the word. And speaking to overseas CSR is getting absolutely nowhere.
-
Nigel J Bevans Photo (@NJBDP) reported@hmefsww Hi, unfortunately I closed my website store down as they were charging a ridiculous amount to sell things. To keep prices reasonably I had to find an alternative and only have eBay at moment. I could do it via paypal cutting out ebay if you would like?

sail_on_a_surfboard (@CNCKeith) reported@PayPal account locked up, we are american company been doing business with paypal for 24 years, we call every day, we submitted all requested documents to prove that we are a real company, "paypal help" is no help, they are withholding 100K+ , we are going to have trouble making payroll, treating a US small business in business since 1979 like some sort of scammer. this is beyond ludicrous, i'm convinced now someone at paypal is trying to steal our hard earned money, PP-L-836499913052

Cadillac Ceryss #smokefleet #nafo (@SerlyFilya) reported@shrugdeaIer URGENT!!! PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN. EVEN $1-2 ADDS UP!! WE ARE SO DESPERATE AND AT THE MERCY OF KIND GENEROUS PEOPLE! PLEASE HELP US GET SOME GOOD FOOD AND TOILETRIES! I haven't been able to work for about 2 years now due to sudden health complications needing surgery. This one illness has destroyed my husband and I financially. The injection I need isn't covered by my insurance and costs $500 month. Now my husband gets paid and after bills there like $100 left for food for 2 weeks. We have been living on cereal, cheap frozen pizzas and hot dogs. Sometimes I dont eat for a few days so the food lasts longer. If we could any donation to help out, We would be so thankful! Hopefully these gas and grocery prices go down and I get healthy enough to work again. I dont even know how much to ask for...$500 or $1000? Here is my PayPal QR code.

Derek Ashauer (@DerekAshauer) reportedClaude just paid for itself today... Found a bug in my store. A "30% off your first year" code was taking 30% off every year, forever. Claude found 2 other codes had the same problem. Gave Claude read access to my WP install over SSH plus temporary Stripe and PayPal keys. It found all affected subscriptions across both processors, cross-checked what the gateways were actually billing against what my database thought, and fixed each one. $1,782/year recovered. About 30 minutes once I knew something was wrong. Doing that by hand across two payment processors would have eaten my week.

Syed Faiz (@copywriterfaiz) reportedPaypal is threatening close my account although I regularly login by saying that I don't login at all!!! What the hell @PayPal @AskPayPal

-
DingusCola SLOTS CLEARED (@fackinbuddy) reported@___EEF_ There are apparently people on Reddit as recent as 4 days ago having the exact same issue on me and the working theory that it’s due to paypal’s ai security. This could validate for a genuine law suit

Benjamin (@Benjamincfc22) reported@_crtt10 @mftopboy @grok what happened to the PayPal glitch
-
Aquila (@LeoAquila_) reported@TheRealCalvin19 @WhisperMute First I gotta fix my paypal, which is hard because paypal sucks 🙃

Chaos🔞Comms Open (@ChaosReverb) reported@Aerea_caeles If you're referring to what happened to what happens around February when my PayPal account was stolen by my ex-bestfriend, I asked the clients to please request refunds from PayPal immediately several times because I never had access to that account again. I explained the topic in detail here and on Instagram. Some people completed the process and received their money back without any problems. There were 2 people who had problems with their banks, one ghosted me when I tried to explain to the that they should insist with PayPal, another commission never responded to my progress reports, and another asked me to do their commission because I think the bank didn't want to give them their money back and I did it without any problem ª In fact, I still have the records.

Unc (@UncSupply) reported@phantasyftw @phantasyftw I'll paypal you 20 bucks if you tell Joe someone's at the front door and go push the GREEN button on the server rack for us right now.

Steven Hughes Transport Videos (@StevenHughes129) reported@bran_di98 @DavidJa51216245 @OrevaZSN A lot of it is down to the processor. Your bank is only one part of the chain. Visa/Mastercard/PayPal/Square etc all form part of the transaction chain. While money moves from your available balance instantly when you process a transaction, it usually shows as "pending". 1/2

GrapheneOS (@GrapheneOS) reported@JKhrushche10538 @linuxuser1996 We already provided a clear solution for the bug recently introduced by PayPal above. If you don't tell us what isn't working then there's no way for us to directly help with it. We can only guess what you're trying to do and what's not set up properly to cause an issue.
