    @KarlB_ And FYI, I primarily use the PayPal slush fund to pay for site hosting. That's coming due in 2022. I just hope I can find the password for EasyDNS, or we're gonna have some disruption issues. The info I had for that was on the computer that was stolen when my house was robbed.

  • HenryGJeffreys Henry Jeffreys (@HenryGJeffreys) reported

    @jamiegoode @AskPayPal Do you think writing something might help for national magazine/ paper/ website? I've heard of other problems with such companies are often magically resolved following bad PR.

  • bettssteve Steve Betts (@bettssteve) reported from Weston, Florida

    @Fanatics @PayPal @Venmo Too bad you can't fix your shipping at the same time..

  • WolfRaven250 Wolf250 (@WolfRaven250) reported

    @Fayts_Creations I really hope you'll be fine, did you sell them through Twitter or Etsy? When she asked me and I said Twitter/Paypal she said that's where she fears the problem would be as well as me not being a VAT registered business. I'm sure you'll be fine with what you did :)

  • GameOverJesse GameOverJesse | The Hylian Gamescast (@GameOverJesse) reported

    @hard4games I purchased a phone on facebook's market place. It uses paypal, which guarantees a refund if the item isn't shipped, arrives broken, etc. The person never sent the phone and blocked me. Around $350 was just gone and PayPal denied every attempt at a refund. PEOPLE SUCK "sometimes"

  • keiiroki Keii 🍃 (@keiiroki) reported

    I saw a lot of posts and tweets regarding problems with paypal. So if I were to open commissions in the future. Other than paypal, what do people use to make international transactions? hmmmmm...

  • Raquel72487784 Raquel (@Raquel72487784) reported

    @ShayMaree @Donna_TheOG @w_white18 If OBW was organized, he could just go through the PayPal’s, write down the names and do a collective shoutout by reading out the names so it was all done at one time. That is much too organized for him though. Bless

  • Kerrie2k_ Kerrie 🇬🇧 (@Kerrie2k_) reported

    @EbuyerHelp Hello! I was asked to tweet this account by someone on your other account. I was wondering if there was a problem with Klarna on your site. I used it a couple of months ago to buy ram, now Paypal is the only option when checking out.

  • GamesLiek I.liek_Games (Certified Filbo Worshipper) (@GamesLiek) reported

    It’s a shame PayPal is so Terrible because it’s legit Gonna be my only way of buying or doing comma on 95% of the websites I need to go on to do so

  • lokatts lokatts (@lokatts) reported

    @KikiDoodleTweet its def been ******* me over too but ill be honest, im not sure theres anything thats got less fees who is also TRUSTWORTHY and it sucks to say but until they got a worthy competator ill keep using paypal, even if the fees are terrible

  • Ed_Hale Ed Hale (official) (@Ed_Hale) reported

    When we have an “issue” now with a @PayPal transaction, everyone in the office absolutely dreads it; because of how long it’ll take just to reach them, let alone solve the issue. A Chat feature could easily solve that. Email Support would be even better. It’s not rocket science.

  • VexstacyArt V (Comms might be open soon? 😏 ) (@VexstacyArt) reported

    @apeslion I was banned from PayPal without explanation for a week. I know three people who experienced the same. They gave me account back but I should never have been banned in the first place. And the current issue isn't about banning They have increased the fees drastically

  • VexstacyArt V (Comms might be open soon? 😏 ) (@VexstacyArt) reported

    The current issue is that PayPal is raising the fees. As someone else explained, if someone sends you a dollar they take $0.68 of it now. This should be a concern for any freelancer. Rightfully so people are already raising their prices to account for this. However >>

  • tonnyxmalcom m.x🕊 (@tonnyxmalcom) reported

    @AskPayPal PLEASE HELP ME!! Hello PayPal. I received a payment yesterday then I got an email from PayPal stating that my money is on hold for 24hrs. Now the 24hrs are over but the money is still on hold. This is the second time I’m having this problem

  • csimpsonsays Chris Simpson (@csimpsonsays) reported

    @Thisway100 @chadfelixg Doesn't take smarts or hustle to spout some edgy nonsense, play victim, and throw down a paypal link. Any freeloader can do that.

  • askdepop askdepop (@askdepop) reported

    @_babylipgloss Sorry to hear you're experiencing issues getting refunded. Transactions are protected if you checkout via the BUY button. Depending on whether you checked out with PayPal, or Depop Payment determines how the refund works. Would you like to confirm your username?

  • pauljsg Paul (@pauljsg) reported

    @AvantiWestCoast one last thing - one of the transactions was PayPal to my american express card - i tried PayPal thinking it was my problem - will that also come off by magic?

  • BulliedMizuki Mizuki (@BulliedMizuki) reported

    inb4 walmart or paypal comment to try and assist me with my problem

  • KSnotman k snotman (@KSnotman) reported

    @Lets_Save_wo Sent a little, hope it helps. That PayPal link went to email, not the PayPal app for donation. ( or it could be me as terrible with technology !)

  • SalmanU13226369 Salman Ul-haq (@SalmanU13226369) reported

    @askdepop I have sold two items both need to be refunded to the buyers. They both paid via PayPal and a Depop fee has already been taken from my back account. They have made address mistakes and so on. Do I issue refunds through PayPal? Will I get the money for the fee back?
