    @YDGFX_ @SauceArt2 So that gives an excuse to ignore his clients for months even when they paid?? That is VERY sus of scamming. If he says underpricing is his issue, he can raise them and reprice, giving his clients refunds on PayPal to start over then fresh. Or explaining his situation atleast.

  • intotheredband · Into the Red · (@intotheredband) reported

    @pssnflwruk @Bandcamp It's because they payment process physical items through PayPal to mitigate for the problems associated with physical merch but as such they can't take their platform fee of 10%?.. (iirc) so they just take extra from future digital sales.

    @JimSichko @UKCoachCalipari Kind of weird when PayPal Cal got two schools in trouble, now they act as if he’s a “saint”!

    @AskPayPal why do I have to use xoom in PayPal? Just got off the phone with customer service and was told there is a problem with the app that keeps me from getting my money out of my account. Was told to loan the $ from family n pass the problem onto them. So good job guys…

  • paulhants Paul (@paulhants) reported

    @Groupon_UK Help urgently. Webpage said there was a problem payment. Tried a couple more times but same error. Tried PayPal it went through. I'm now looking at my order page it's gone through 6 times, so error message was wrong. I've tried calling the but it hangs up after 3 sec

  • skins2525 Jared Skinner (@skins2525) reported

    @BradoCapital Seems like a god time to enter PayPal or add. Accounts keep rising but stock in a draw down.

  • MrOvalOffice CelebPretty (@MrOvalOffice) reported

    I ordered an item over 2mo ago & still haven’t received it… I’ve been nothing but patient, understanding the supply chain & workforce issues, and politely reached out 3 times inquiring, with each time them sayin it will ship that week… I can’t wait to open up a PayPal claim!

  • bcbennycontrer1 bcbennycontreras (@bcbennycontrer1) reported

    @LMiddleton77 @PS5restocks_etc I had the same issue, tried all options with the pay by PayPal being the very last and it went through luckily! I think it’s because it’s linked to my primary bank account.

  • MissSmithUK ℕ𝕒𝕦𝕘𝕙𝕥𝕪 𝕋𝕖𝕒𝕔𝕙𝕖𝕣 | 𝘍𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘮 (@MissSmithUK) reported

    It’s months later and PayPal has allowed this man to take his money back without speaking to me first, this is a terrible company!

  • Bethshivs Beth (@Bethshivs) reported

    @RBroughton180 Paypal is bshiv1 and cashapp is $bsh1zzle. My furnace broke I know how to fix it but I just need $30 to get the part and i have no money rn in my bank account I'd really appreciate it thank you!

  • mtiffee Mike Tiffee (@mtiffee) reported

    @GoPro Been trying to place an order for two days. Says order cannot be placed! Customer support says billing info doesn’t match. Everything is correct and I’m logged in and have been a customer for years. I’ve even tried PayPal. Never had so much trouble purchasing anything.

  • R4G3RS yuria the **** (@R4G3RS) reported

    i wanna drain my paypal cash for good art. im afraid what if i experience errors during the payment and it would get me in trouble 🤡

  • lyntoamariyo Lyn'to (@lyntoamariyo) reported

    @ReaperAngel06 Yeah, I had this issue, thankfully got my old account back and I was smart to quickly deny my paypal payments to said account. Ended up staying on a new account though. Took almost a week after the person also managed to change my email and password without my 2FA.

    so many people going through the same issue with paypal, its so frustrating, because of a bug we lose our account and have to wait days for it to get "fixed"

  • KAANAtion Shinanyenzo Shilulu Pa! (@KAANAtion) reported

    Also, never try to login into your Paypal account with an active VPN running. You will be hit with the mother of all bans.

    @minerzboy I have had problems with Paypal (because they used my account and things) and the subject overwhelms me a lot. Now being all free and doing it without finding Patreon or anything, I feel lighter
