Julian Köser (@HonourM4xAI) reported@kabu_nyan0214 @Capito_Nihongo Problem is I don’t have an account which accepts foreign transfers only from my country and Paypal unfortunately blocks everything and supports my bank net. But if I could open a Japanese account that accepts foreign payments, that would be perfect for me.

JWJI III (@JWJI_III) reported@Prominent_Bryan As a Canadian living in America, I much prefer etransfer. I’ve never had a problem with it. I have had problems where business can’t get done because one person only does Venmo and the other only does PayPal. Anecdotal however
-
Sonican (@Sonicanka) reportedI’m having a problem with my PayPal 😖 I don’t have any payment method anymore 😖 Please don’t donate for now everyone, I honestly don’t know what to do 😖
-
Charlotte Muse (@charlottemusexo) reported@PossessedLettu1 Yeah, you are right i have faced that problem so many times but we still have to use the paypal cause then they think we are some kind of scammers haha
-
erika rodriguez (@erikarodrigue53) reported@BlizzardCS Got a email about our subscription for wow with a payment issue. I switched it to go though PayPal. It has for years. This morning says update payment method put our account inactive. I look on my card to see what’s going on. 4 pending transactions. $15.87 I switched it again.

MAGENTAED GENESIS (@Greenability_so) reported@Sonicanka that sucks dude hopefully your paypal problem gets fixed soon
-
RickO'Sneek (@RickoSneek) reported@PramilaJayapal PayPal, you poorly manage my tax dollars that earned by taking risks and opening small businesses. The problem is your poor management skills not lack of money.
-
Carson (@CarsonTalkMoney) reported@elneneloco813 Yeah PayPal and $NKE were the only two stocks I regret buying I underestimated how bad the Macro was for $NKE and $PYPL was just a mess... I though Alex Chriss could turn it around, but I think the Board is terrible there
-
M (@ml721721) reported@KeithMalinak I used to sell a lot on eBay until most of the buyers started saying the item arrived broken (which it wasn't it was a picture of their broken item) and eBay sided with the buyers. So the sellers were out the item, eBay & PayPal fees, shipping etc and left frustrated 🙄
-
Omoalhaja (@omoalhajaabiola) reported2017-2018 I lost many gigs just because of payment issues. You had to wait for 14 days for fiverr to clear your funds. Using PayPal with pseudo-names and masked location means you are one message away from getting suspended. It’s truly transformative to see @RaenestApp solving these issues for freelancers
-
camomileee (@camomileVT) reported@FreddyFazbearVR @thesleepylulu Her PayPal is down atm so she can’t accept any money for preorders! I’m not sure if she fixed it but she’s the sweetest and isn’t a scammer!
-
Termites (@TermitesRGood) reported@N1HawkLive @zachbussey So let me get this straight people that have their checking account attached to Twitch. It’s $100 now. But PayPal who charges 3% fee is 50. If that’s the case, a lot of streamers will never get paid maybe two or three months down the road People just don’t support small streamers every time you get ahead I used to be 30 average now it’s 5 avg and every time it seems like you’re getting head twitch turns around and screws you
-
Tee (@truff702) reported@PayPal what’s going on? I got refunded for something and you’re trying to charge me after the bank approved it? How can we fix it?
-
yaamc01 (@yonahaer1) reportedMinor spelling mistake on pic but who cares Btw I cant accept requset from Vgen now due to problem with paypal
-
Lil (@victoriamardonx) reportedHow is @PayPal even coping when its staff can’t resolve a very simple issue / request? #awfulcustomerservice
-
Mobot685 (@marshallpress0n) reported@omoalhajaabiola @RaenestApp The actually solve reliable bank transfers without the constant issues we face with PayPal, Wise, or Payoneer in Nigeria. No more frozen accounts or long waiting periods. Exactly we’ve been waiting for!
-
Luke Layton (@LukeyLayton) reported@AskPayPal My case was closed incorrectly due to an automated error. Delivery was 13 April and I contacted the seller on 27 April. PayPal closed it saying I reported it after 30 days, which is factually wrong. The appeal button is missing and chat agents refused escalation.

zMakotaz | Twitch Partner! | 🐼👾 Panda VTuber (@zMakotaz) reportedIt is starting to get frustrating that its been about almost half a year since you guys have yet to pay me. Please if you could resolve this issue that would be great I have done all what was asked of me to try to fix it on my end. Paypal say nothing is wrong on there end so
-
Love is the answer 🧡 (@hivibz) reported@ryancohen I just read that post and it resonated with me. I used to sell on eBay in the early 2000’s. I’ve completely stopped. I just logged in to my old account which is still active. The fact that I used to use it a ton, I even had an ebay store, and have not logged in for a decade is indicative of a problem with eBay. By the way I know it’s somewhat unrelated, but PayPal has brutal customer service. I just wasted an hour on the phone with them this evening.
-
Lewis, William... William (@WillLewis_1976) reported@CardPurchaser this is my opinion, and would like to see if others feel the same. Ever since Venmo started offering the immediate transfer option on accounts for the extra fee like Paypal has, Venmo then slowed down their free regular transfer method to try and push people into using it. It's bad customer service, just to make extra money. I never in the past had to wait more than 24-48 hours for my free transfers to go through despite it saying it could take 1-3 business days.
-
Shari 🌸 (@sharduncan5050) reported@CarolineDPham @moonpay I’m having lots of trouble with MoonPay! I have a balance that I’m trying to Withdraw. The app only gives me two options, my bank account or my PayPal. I’ve tried both, repeatedly, and MoonPay will not finish the transaction. So frustrating!

AmicuNoa🧜♀️🌊 Vtuber | Emote Comms OPEN (@AmicuNoa) reported@zachbussey Streamlabs doesn't have a safe payment for tipping. It's Paypal ONLY. And making a business paypal doesn't always work as over the 11 years I've streamed, every time I tried setting it up it still released your private information. Losing SEPay would be a MAJOR loss. I'm suspicious it's true they are going down because they have ignored 7 separate emails from shorting me on a sponsorship.
-
Sonican (@Sonicanka) reportedFor those who still want to help and donate, please message me first because my PayPal is currently not working right now. 😖
-
Walik Goshorn (@waliik1) reportedMy @PayPal account was hacked. The evidence that they have clearly shows that it was not me. Theu continue to give me problems. They denied my claim amd now want to re-open it so that I jave to wait again. Its always a PROBLEM !!
-
Krøw 🩸🐦⬛ (@Krronyss) reported@Spookidusk Ugh, this is terrible! If you sent payment through PayPal you could theoretically do a chargeback since it hasn't hit the 6 month mark- if you are comfortable w that and feel you have no other options. If you wanted, I'd be happy to draw something for you for funzies <3

-
MozzuMuscle (@MozzuMuscle) reportedGenerally speaking it's a good habit to always withdraw funds from online money platforms when they come in (I.e. Paypal, patreon, throne, streaming services, etc.) as you never know when an account may be frozen or taken down for any reason.

Sunny Rads (@Sunny_Rads) reported@AllThatJu1ce @Twitch @PayPal There are entire departments just for cyber crimes, and they track down people who do things like this! It isn’t a quick fix, but they should be able to get it back to you eventually.
