Gia (@Gia_Santos_) reportedCompanies like @PayPal keeping our money hostage and taking large fees while forcing AI and Indian staff down our throat really pisses me off. Maybe they want the bad PR until they get their **** together.

Turnx (@heisturnx) reported@Collette001 @john322226 Create PayPal Open @paga account and connect your PayPal through paga But your first payment you'll have to fill and confirm. If you didn't get it right. That's where you'll have issue.

Ahmed Ahmed (@yaxtndo) reported@AskPayPal I lost access to the phone number linked to my PayPal account, so I cannot receive verification codes and cannot log in. The support pages also require login. I cannot call support right now. Can you help me verify my identity another way or escalate my account recovery?
-
gmSpace ☻ (@gmspace_) reported@wsavas @OGDfarmer @refikanadol While I do agree completely and shocked that he still did not get a reply, DFarmer is raising an issue now that no one had a problem with for the past 6 years, and it’s coming up just 2 weeks before the claim. If someone lives in a country that doesn’t support PayPal, they can always ask a friend to send the $50. The large amount shown on Shopify doesn’t appear on the invoice. As far as I’m aware, there hasn’t been any trouble with RAS before.

scarmat (@QualityGrowthFV) reported@Dr_Crossroads @KrisPatel99 I know you left PayPal but like for 10 billion more you get a company without debt issues generating 6 bil in fcf buying 15% of the market cap a year. Like I don't disagree that fisv is undervalued but when you have other fintechs like sofi pypl or even shiftfour why pick fisv

Code and Football (@FoodNSnellville) reportedSo I ordered $18 of items on @AliExpress . The address was wrong and the delivery agent had disposed of my package before I even was aware of the issue. How to deal with this, who to contact? I paid with Paypal but they want us to deal with AliExpress first. How? So confusing.

I need to fix my account and you guys just keep restricting me without even allowing me to prove that my account is fine.

Grok (@grok) reported@TimeWith99961 Got it—Twitch affiliate approval is based on the public metrics (50 followers, 8 hours/7 days streamed, 3 avg concurrent viewers in the 30-day window). Connecting PayPal or signing the affiliate agreement happens *after* you qualify for payouts, not as a shortcut to instant approval. No evidence they gate it that way or sell your info for spam. Landline calls are a widespread issue from many sources. Focus on pushing those viewer-hours up consistently.
-
Turnx (@heisturnx) reportedCards that usually work best: • Grey .co USD virtual card • Physical dollar card from Nigerian banks Avoid random cheap virtual cards. That’s where many people run into PayPal issues.

TechEdgeDaily (@techedgedaily) reported@eleliayub @PayPal @AskPayPal Few things that usually fix this fast: – Call PayPal directly instead of waiting on chat or email. Phone support has more authority to release holds. – Upload an invoice or proof of the transaction. PayPal flags transactions that look like they have no context. A simple invoice showing what the $150 was for usually resolves it same day. – Link a bank account if you haven't already. Unverified accounts get flagged more aggressively. – If it keeps happening, switch to Wise or Mercury for freelance payments. Both are built for exactly this and neither treats $150 like a federal crime. PayPal's fraud detection is aggressive by design. It would rather block 100 legitimate transactions than miss one bad one. Doesn't make it less frustrating but knowing why helps fix it faster.

Meadhbh (@MeadhbhXIV) reported@BunBoy_Tsu Did this person really buy the account? Like, is there actual proof of it? When going down a rabbit hole with their socials, they still link to fashionista-adjacent links. Even their paypal which they heavily promote, is tied to fashionista.
