    @ShortyDesu Yeah, I got a hold of them just a bit ago and explained the situation(basically Paypal error messaged me the first two times I tried to transfer funds and then worked the third time), and now there's a manual review in. So now it's just the waiting game. 🙏

    @Uber_Support Hi I was on chat for 25 min and they ended the chat without resolving my issue. Can someone please help I just want the missing $25 credit from the PayPal uberone promo. I am reluctant to chat again so can you let me know the best way to get assistance? Ty

  • SchmudeA Schmude._.art (@SchmudeA) reported

    @Gentlemux_GooV I've been hearing a lot of stuff about PayPal recently. I'm never the one sending money, but I'm still nervous 😭. I think I'm honestly going to start using Cashapp for my main one. It's still got problems, but it isn't as demanding as Paypal, and doesn't have that much control.

  • mkgl22 Justice (@mkgl22) reported

    @AskPayPal I keep going over the same thing in DM messages, on twitter, over the phone and by email. I am being sent in circles. Real help by a real person and solving the problem would be appreciated.

    @ClownWorld_ As a European, I like to watch movies and series from the 🇺🇸, like to buy the latest hardware from NVIDIA and AMD, buy almost everything via Amazon, always use PayPal as a payment option and generally like a lot in the 🇺🇸. But hell, the society in the 🇺🇸 is really broken.

  • Dante_Just_Made 🖤DJM🤍 (@Dante_Just_Made) reported

    HOW ******** CAN CASHAPP OR PAYPAL TAKE MY MONEY WITHOUT ANY ISSUE BUT WHEN I'M GIVEN MONEY THEY HOLD IT???

  • tejasperuri Tejas (@tejasperuri) reported

    @Xoom @PayPal recently had a transaction X4QNH69M issue, helpdesk informed that there was technical error on your end which was never informed and was assured that my ticket is escalated and it would go thru next business day, but instead you’ll cancelled my transaction.

  • GhostofMaplHodl Maple 🍁: 13%'r (@GhostofMaplHodl) reported

    @Open_Media @NEEDcreations Networks scale in layers, you don't sacrifice security for throughput on the base layer like a fiat moron. We're not here because Visa or Paypal was too slow.

  • DeviYun_Vtuber Devi Yun 🎀 ENVtuber (@DeviYun_Vtuber) reported

    @Silver_ENVT @MinaMarieAnko it was an issue with streamelements and paypal with hellofresh, i think they fixed it, dont think it wa their fault though

  • KAWAISHIZUKA Josephine 🇺🇸 (@KAWAISHIZUKA) reported

    @HartVilly How long ago did you transfer it to PayPal? Sometimes, it takes 1-2 business days to process and show up in your account. If there’s issues call your bank or whatever your savings acct is or PayPal.

  • ZeesMMA Zee (@ZeesMMA) reported

    What I don't understand is if it is actually a payment processor issue why not put people on a payment schedule? Or take a loan, pay the people you owe and then trickle the money from paypal to whoever issued the loan.

  • persona22_22 Persona_22 (@persona22_22) reported

    @Bonbon_Sena PayPal blocking streamers seems to be a common problem, unfortunately. Sena, you are not the first one to talk about this problem, and you will most likely not be the last.

    @UbisoftSupport Yes, it's still happening after doing all that. You should have been tipped off by the results being the same in a browser and your UbisoftConnect app that it's not a browser issue, but a problem in your payment processing backend with PayPal.

  • ethe_al 【VTuber】 Mommy of Mana (@ethe_al) reported

    @PayPal has been such a big headache lately. I called Brazil Support many times, and the issue persists, but the transfer keeps failing and it's a PayPal system error. NOT ONLY they kept trying to use my Passport as the CPF and I fixed that, now they are failing again.

  • breford13 bre ford (@breford13) reported

    @ZeesMMA I don't believe there was a paypal issue. He took the money, got caught and is disappearing without paying it back.

  • Jman1re Jman1re (@Jman1re) reported

    @AskPayPal How are you going to deny that someone unauthorized used me account for some foreign gaming website to buy. NOW YOU WONT REFUND THE MONEY WHOEVER GOT INTO MY ACCOUNT STOLE. I can't even charge your asses back without having to close my bank account, FIX THIS NOW

  • EthanWi86420116 Ethan Wilson (@EthanWi86420116) reported

    @PoloboyNatee @PrizePicks You’re **** out of luck somehow someone used my PayPal on another app and support won’t fix it so I haven’t been able to deposit for months

  • Murphyx217 Murphyx2 (@Murphyx217) reported

    @Bonbon_Sena From a couple of years into recently, Paypal has been an *** for a lot of people, mainly, Try customer support, It's ****** in my opinion, but Hopefully your issue will be resolved.

  • MansfieldLance josh allen MVP (@MansfieldLance) reported

    @ZeesMMA Bc it was never a PayPal issue. He gambled all the money away

  • GAVRS83 GavR (@GAVRS83) reported

    @djbootheth Hi there, no problem, assuming you are able to make a payment via PayPal? I'll then dispatch to your email on PayPal or of you choosing. Many thanks Gavin.

    @BetsandPicksMMA Unbelievable the % of bookies who have bitbuy/paypal issues.

  • Sniper_MMA Sniper MMA (@Sniper_MMA) reported

    @willtuesca 3 years before I handed it off to @GamblesGordo. My biggest problem was always matching DK names to payments…though I always did worry PayPal would freeze or seize the funds

  • 5CJatt Jatt23 (@5CJatt) reported

    @MMALOTN Honestly if I still lived in TO I would actually help every and get this clown to meet up. And show hard facts and each $ where it went. And get him to login into his PayPal accounts in front of me.
