  @TheRonnieVShow Reminds me of PayPal everything always looked sooo good but stock just kept going down

  He tried to request a refund from PayPal for all the products I've already sold to him, including personalized items, but PayPal refused, so he reported my account to get it taken down. He's a BASTARD. DO NOT SELL TO HIM OR AT LEAST CHARGE THAT PIECE OF **** A LOT

  @Ag_EP3 @Hideo_Fufujima We need to break up their monopoly and illegal non-compete agreement. It's more or less VISA, Mastercard, PayPal - and they were allowed to get this big by promising to be a service for everyone. "Letter of the law in the USA" is the standard even for POTUS. If we had dozens of payment processers competing for customers and clients, then this wouldn't be a problem. Some would be cheaper but safer/g-rated, others would handle the designer drugs and ****. In short a free market with competition. But we don't have that. We have a handful of corporate welfare kings that are bloated and just wanted to get an easy ride then they don't fear going bankrupt or losing to competition so they then behave badly and greedily. Again they managed to disgust POTUS for being too crooked and greedy. THAT is an accomplishment.... And I don't want my tax $ going to bloated 'processors' who then meddle on top of feasting on it.

  PayPal just sucks in general. I tried setting up my own account for business (nothing to do with this issue) & they froze me out for “suspicious activity” & I could do nothing about it. They have no customer service. You can DM them on X, but you’ll never get a human response

  It's weird that Paypal is going down the route of overt censorship when there's already a guideline in place in America to prevent this with a law coming up that will outright ban them from prevent people from buying stuff they want

  Renowned philanthropist, Dan Wema, is in tears after PayPal banned his account containing over KSh 270,000 earned last month. Many are wondering why the popular apostle didn’t link his Facebook monetization directly to his bank account. The issue, however, is not that simple. When creators are first approved for monetization, Facebook often doesn’t allow them to edit the name on the payout tab. Payments are only released when the names on the account strictly match the registered details .Is there a way to resolve this?Dan Wema was expected to receive his highest payout from Facebook next month, thanks to the massive viewership his recent high-profile case involving Samuel has attracted in 2026. He reportedly earns up to $4,000 per month from the platform at times.

  @AngerRiceBall Unfortunately PayPal is in no position to not do this. These are third party enforcement guidelines handed down by Visa and Mastercard which P.P has no authority to challenge because the payment networks are private businesses and can just refuse to do business with P.P

  @HieuHere349 I'm sorry I've never had this problem. I just filled out the information and I used paypal as a payout. My personal FB profile also matches my name too. I have heard people outside of the US having similar issues I think. PIB has a whatsapp group that may be useful for you. There is a group called "Facebook admin, payout, account issues". Others who have had similar issues may be able to help

  @MattMillard2 @RealDannyTommo Who ******** am I? Someone who can actually read figures. Net migration crashed to 171k in 2025... lowest since 2012. Small boat arrivals are also down 41% YTD in 2026. I’m British. You’re just a Danny simp raging at facts while defending a convicted kidnapper’s PayPal grift. How much money have you donated towards his boat?

  @LueLuxe I had a chance to read a passing FB Indonesian post. Many people complain about PayPal because its service is known to be slow and people's finances are taken unilaterally without compensation.

  @FrancisWille9 @Wokenessisevil "You could just use another service" you, in fact, cannot. When VISA, Mastercard, Stripe and PayPal all wanna shut down something because they’re too puritans, what other options do you have?

  Ignore this *******, Grummz is engagement baiting again The OP said they filed an appeal and it was resolved within minutes. Paypal isn't cracking down, OP got hit by a bot and it was resolved. Things are the same, use invoices, don't use sus names on them, and you'll be fine.

  @nostalgicno1 Also you can't issue or receive a refund after a specific amount of time pass , 120 days i believe ?? Just look up the first things you need to know setting a PayPal account , if i did I'd have saved myself the pain bc none of this is mentioned on the website

  @SpawnWaveMedia Dude that has been an issue since the ******* PS4 came out. I always tell people to never link their ******* cards to that ****. If ya don’t have PayPal use PSN cards. Do not ******* put your credit or god forbid your ******* debit card info into that ******* system.

  Week 1 post launch. 7 users in the dashboard. Login bug found and fixed same day. PayPal international payments building now. Slow start but every number is real. What's your first week metric that mattered most?

  @KieranPontiki @RoflrawrVT Paypal sucks ****, worst payment processor that steals millions by locking accounts for any and no reason. The only reason people are stuck with this **** to this day is cause alternatives get shut down, bought or people refuse literally ANY other method except paypal.

  Can anyone help me? I'm having some problems with creating a paypal account. Idk why but the platform just won't verify my phone number and keep saying "sorry, we can't send a new code. Try again later." I never used paypal since it's not something Malaysians usually use🥲

  adelvafa (@iran0pessimist) reported 52 minutes ago

  So it seems the issue is that PayPal likes to hold onto payments to collect interest; this is a very ****** practice but payment processors can do whatever ******** they like if there are only like five big ones and they elbow everyone else out.

  I rarely have opinions on NSFW comms because I'm 17, however I feel bas for the artists who's lively hoods are threatened by the CEO being an ******* also PayPal is the only option in Canada so I might be cooked if it goes down due to this stupid rule
