    @VelvetElvis12 @ssongokuuu @PS5Drop when you're checking out, instead of choosing a credit or debit card, there's a box to click paypal. so assuming you have a paypal account, you check out with that instead. from what i remember, it just helps you avoid the credit/debit surge that can make everything slow.

  • YannickMrCrypto Yannick_Mr_Crypto 🐙 (@YannickMrCrypto) reported

    @BrokenMuzzle @Superalkaline11 @Bloqport i don't see a problem with putting my stack on a ledger and putting some grocery money on paypal to than spend it.

  • ScottAGoldblatt Scott Goldblatt (@ScottAGoldblatt) reported

    @ArgosHelpers Need help please. Placed order on Freezer last night, error message at payment screen, PayPal showing payment pending, no email confirmation from Argos. Made a second attempt and order was successful, no email confirmation still, PayPal still showing one payment...

  • chrisgreen87 Chris Green (@chrisgreen87) reported

    @badams Error, good question. The charity were running it via FB (not ideal). I can share a PayPal link and donate that on if you're okay with that?

  • masterpj55 PJ/Laserstroopwaffle (@masterpj55) reported

    @MissMixi Are they reliable or is it yet to be known? I've heard about the PayPal problems but I have yet to have them...on top of that : PayPal is accepted almost everywhere.

  • dumpstxrfire official candle dealer (@dumpstxrfire) reported from Arlington, Virginia

    @SunlitSoul_ This is so weird!!!! I have PayPal business and I’ve never had this issue :( have you been in contact with support?

  • JustAFewGuitars Just A Few Guitars (@JustAFewGuitars) reported

    @PayPal @AskPayPal @PayPalCA ARE CROOKS! TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE, NO COMPASSION TOWARD THE CUSTOMER, TERRIBLE COMPANY!

  • chfl26 ChFL26 (@chfl26) reported

    @MasterClass I had cancelled my automatic subscription 3 weeks ago. Today i received an email from Paypal saying that my subscription was renewed. I was conscious and put reminders to Cancel my subscription, and I did 3 weeks ago exactly. I need a refund. Fix your website.

  • IG_DJB_1993 David (@IG_DJB_1993) reported

    @DavidDonnelly0 I've made £1000s through eBay over the last year and never had a problem! You just have to judge whether an item is worth listing or not, take advantage of any reduced fees they offer, and use eBay's own payment system instead of PayPal.

  • 12ashish85 ashish (@12ashish85) reported

    @AskPayPal I'm trying to withdraw money from my PayPal account to my Bank account but it keep on showing some problem to complete this transaction. Please resolve the problem

  • RobHolding #Corporate #Photographer (@RobHolding) reported

    @crypto_birb I sold my eth earlybthis morning. Too many problems... even with paypal/visa/master

  • GTS_Tweets Gavin Stevens (@GTS_Tweets) reported

    I'm also having the "5FOR15GAMEPASS" code not working either guys. However $25.15 using Paypal is still only £18. £18 for five months is... Good.

  • nowimcarol Carol owner of a time travelling cat🏳️‍⚧️ (@nowimcarol) reported

    @noneuclideangrl Oh, both Qantas and PayPal thought that when I updated my details with them after my name change. Qantas could fix it because I could phone a support person, I gave up on PayPal’s support via form/email.

  • artsycookies_ cookie monster (@artsycookies_) reported

    @fuuckthissite the paypal feature to pay with cryptocurrency is US-only, so this is not going to fix anything for international purchases either

  • Transalorian ♀️ Mdme. Cachia 🇲🇹 (@Transalorian) reported

    @KatyMontgomerie My executive function is bad and I'm not organised enough to have created a proper gofundme, but if you can spare a penny to my PayPal I will add it to my savings that one day will go to grs (after I fix my brain 😭)

    Is @PayPalUK down? @PayPal @AskPayPal

  • tracey_cu iamtraceycu (@tracey_cu) reported

    @WayfairUK think you got an issue with your website at the moment? Customers can only see a 'paypal' option?! @Wayfair #CustomerService #customerexperience

  • SpooneyJoe joE 🦒 (@SpooneyJoe) reported

    @Vanlenciacf paypal support is one of the most useless places on earth. they just sit there and blame everyone else and never actually help resolve ur issue

  • v_collector VintageVGameCollector (@v_collector) reported

    @RetroGamer_Mag I had actually stepped away from collecting a few years ago (a call from PayPal making sure that you have not been hacked due to amounts being spent) will cause anyone to pause. Started again during lock down and a bit shocked by the price increases. But I have been buying a bit

  • zeoarchon zhongli father figure (@zeoarchon) reported

    @j0retapo @uramxshii sorry i wont go extra mile for others. i dont even have paypal acc and what im doing is just to give for those who wanna join and is comfortable for me to login to their acc. if no, it's fine 👍

  • nj12nets Jeff K (@nj12nets) reported

    @PixelPodium @Nero_ps @PayPal So using clean energy to mine will kill the planet from electrical demand but cars going all electric or mostly electric in the US by 2035-2050 is of no concern? The issue is regulation and enforcement. If countries have no mining regs there's nothing to enforce. If regulated...

  • ThatGrumpyBat 🦇⭐Grumpy⭐🦇 (@ThatGrumpyBat) reported

    Paypal: Send us your documents to confirm your identity. Me: *Sends them multiple files throughout multiple attempts* Paypal: We were unable to confirm your NAME Me, who sent them the files multiple times prior with that NOT being an issue before: Just bloody kill me already.

  • craftyplayerc Chelsea May Harris (@craftyplayerc) reported

    @FroshieE Cheers!! If paypal is an issue I would 100% want to move away from it but obviously don’t feel comfortable just giving out bank deets to anyone

  • MixNoda NodaMixProductions (@MixNoda) reported

    @AskPayPal Why is paypal forcing me to withdraw money in my national currency instead of USD to USD. I've been doing this in previous months without a problem. Support on facebook is not helpful at all.

  • XedoBandito 🐙 Josh Mull 🔴🔺️ #StrangePieces 🅾️🅰️ (@XedoBandito) reported

    @ssongokuuu @PS5Drop don't think it matters, but if you have paypal use that when you're checking out cause the debit/creditcard systems can get bogged down with traffic

  • 5M7X 5M7X (@5M7X) reported

    @AskPayPal Hello Paypal-Social-Media-Management, well your "professional" compliance department closed the case finally after I sent the latvian equivalent for the german "Max Musterman" ID card to them. The whole process is so flawed that I start to get trust issues with PayPal.

  • shaunyp8471 Shauny P ♈️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 ⚽️ 🎶 (@shaunyp8471) reported

    @glastonbury Not sure if there are technical issues when trying to book using the @PayPal option. Tried twice and it kept saying session had timed out so had to manually input all my details instead!

  • EvirBlackmore Evir (@EvirBlackmore) reported

    @MissMixi Many online crypto wallets now have this kinda functionality with much less requirements and privacy issues IMHO Seems pretty scummy/cash grab for paypal to get involved in this space like this

  • benzo1912 Benzo (@benzo1912) reported

    @ArtemisCODM @ManagerTrick @AsunaCODM Yes it takes time if the tournaments fund is outsourced, but as i understand in this case it's just a paypal transaction. It's a problem "if" it takes 2-3 months to make a simple transaction and it's unprofessional. what if these funds were to pay the winning teams bills?
