    @Milio_WasHere Stay positive girl! Everything will work out! Just change your payment platform with the next customer. They make it fairly simple. Paypal will *eventually* release your funds, and when they do- Just shut them down completely.

  • kinkerbell23 Queen Kinkerbell👑 (@kinkerbell23) reported

    @Kinkybabeishere @disinterstd @SoBeneathMe Yeah, but when options are limited and you have PayPal shutting accounts down repeatedly the fee's aren't so bad

  • RetroForGame Martin (@RetroForGame) reported

    @watermelongames @RetroFaith1 I really hope that you will solve this problem with PayPal. Maybe you could sell your games from a serious retro-game store? I love both Pier Solar and Paprium. All this hate from people is insane. I am sure you are doing your best👍

  • TomLevenson Thomas Levenson, Zṓiarchos (@TomLevenson) reported

    One last thought in my now resolved argument with @PayPal and @AskPayPal: It was my error that brought the situation on, mine and no one else's. I forgot the cardinal rule of all buying and selling: if it seems too good to be true, it is. That part is on me.

  • juice_626 juice (@juice_626) reported

    where is PayPal headquarters so i can burn it down

  • ThisIsNoahEvans Noah Evans (@ThisIsNoahEvans) reported

    Samsung Store keeps throwing an error when trying to make a purchase. PayPal and card payment. I don’t mean to be “that guy”, but I never had any issues purchasing from Apple 🤓

  • HBaublitz Harvey Baublitz (@HBaublitz) reported

    @DropsByJay My Mac decided to update just before drop started. Got on a little late and went mad, ordering 4 T’s and don’t even know what I ordered. No emails yet. Apple Pay didn’t work for me and PayPal was slow.

  • TomLevenson Thomas Levenson, Zṓiarchos (@TomLevenson) reported

    2/ b) there is a problem with Paypal's fraud detection/protection system. I disputed this payment while it was pending, as in not drawn from my bank account. There were tons of signs of fraud on the seller's side that could have been flagged before completing the transaction...

  • wilkie21 l.hutton (@wilkie21) reported

    @SportsDirect_CS is it policy for your stores to pick up phone & put down without answering? Need to know about an order I need to collect & refund straightaway. If paid by PayPal do I need card? Do not want a credit note

  • OsirisShadoopa Peecha_Canada (@OsirisShadoopa) reported

    @AskPayPal Issue with Canadian customers and Consumer Reports. 1. I was given a subscription offer, by Consumer Reports via their website. This offer was listed in $CAD dollars. 2. When paid via Paypal - Paypal charges wrong currency. i.e. $50 U.S., yet should be $50 CAD.

  • eidorien Adrienne (@eidorien) reported

    @thetarotlady @instagram This is insane. The amount of imposter accounts is unbelievable, and @instagram does so little to get them taken down. I’ve gotten CashApp and PayPal addresses from some of these people and reported them accordingly, but there’s rarely any repercussions.

  • t3ru__ 𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚞🍓 (@t3ru__) reported

    would anyone be interested if i started taking commissions here.. 🤔🤔🤔 I have only been opening comms for my fellow vnmese people only since my paypal is currently undergo some issues but i should get it fix soon

  • JallKennedy Jall Kennedy (@JallKennedy) reported

    @Youngjoeybaby @tgunna36 @CameronRitz I had luck with my regular card and PayPal too I copped like 12 PS5 for me n friends, but my issue is that with the bank after a few tries the bank block your card n you have to fix it with the app so I prefer to use PayPal.. They don't block your card..

  • TidyWire TidyWire🍿 (@TidyWire) reported

    @AwesomeGuy012 @NintendoUK Yeah I have no idea why Paypal is gone. Could have saved a ton of hassle. :/ @NintendoUK please fix this guys.

  • Darkstone1337 D✨ (@Darkstone1337) reported

    @XenoDBD probably because you earned money from many different Persons and a personal Paypal account is not allowed nor protected for this transactions. Business Paypal Account might solve the problem in the future

  • BriannaDenise__ B (@BriannaDenise__) reported

    @Milio_WasHere Honestly, Paypal embarrassed me my first year with having to have the customer validate that they received my package before releasing payment. The customer was confused and it was terrible business, super unprofessional. I will NEVER use paypal again for business.

  • chubthumping Thump - 🌇🎆 (@chubthumping) reported

    Paypal's only response is 'oh well if there's no problems your money will be available in seven days! :)' which doesn't help at all, and does nothing to benefit the actual customer since commissions often take longer than a week to complete anyway

  • astrals_stasis Yafaemi - Chilumi Enamel Pins (@astrals_stasis) reported

    I'm already on a semi-hiatus because of some personal issues, and then I wake up to find my paypal is being threatened to be locked because someone filed a dispute against me, even tho im still working within my commissions T+C, because they don't wanna follow them...

  • astrals_stasis Yafaemi - Chilumi Enamel Pins (@astrals_stasis) reported

    -then filed a paypal dispute over not recieving their commission, when there is still a queue listed on my page I purposely undercharge myself so there's no issue on wait time, since I can't provide one, if you don't want to be patient, dont buy, its really that simple

  • hawtcarl trashburger (@hawtcarl) reported

    @AskPayPal keep getting error messages when I try to send money, add money, add card, anything I try to do. Is this a PayPal problem or a problem with my account?

  • Tearoy24 T-roy (Not your 🔑, not your Bitcoin) (@Tearoy24) reported

    @MartinAudley @zackvoell Ask yourself what's the energy cost to run the broken fiat system? Much more than the energy of Mexico & Brazil combined I'm sure. Also, you seem to forget that Layer 2 apps (built on top of Layer 1) can process transactions at speeds comparable to Visa, PayPal, etc. Think LN ⚡

  • CapeGirl2011 Tracey & Bubbly (@CapeGirl2011) reported

    @thehicklife I had trouble getting into PayPal a few weeks ago but I let the person know and eventually worked out my issue. Ghosting is just rude. RUDE!!!!

  • MyOpini53856148 MyOpinion (@MyOpini53856148) reported

    @lucasridley @ShieldVoC @AskPayPal We lost $425 in a similar issue with Venmo, owned by PayPal - they refuse to address!

  • RobinGrifters  Dr. Josh  (@RobinGrifters) reported

    So here's my two cents on the situation with @sailorman502 @matthew885 and that @NNchick . Jerry has always and will be a liar & a scammer. He definitely stole 300$ from his own 87 year old mother and lied about his paypal not working. Just like he lies about everything else

  • chubthumping Thump - 🌇🎆 (@chubthumping) reported

    Hey does anyone else have issues with paypal randomly putting payments on hold? Everything I look up says to have customers mark the product as 'shipped' but that option hasn't appeared for any of them so far

  • JoeHeaps3 Joe Heaps (@JoeHeaps3) reported

    @HogeFinance PayPal link is not working for me here, but it did on the main site so I wrote in the notes what I was donating to.

  • MartinAudley if(BTC.IsSoV) {Titanic.IsStoreOfPassengers=true;}; (@MartinAudley) reported

    @Tearoy24 @zackvoell >"...broken fiat system" 1. That's a false dichotomy. It's not the only alternative to Bitcoin 2. It's also a WhatAboutism >"Layer 2 apps...can process...at speeds comparable to Visa, PayPal, etc." Layer 2 does not SETTLE Layer 2 can still only SETTLE for 7 people per second

  • a_r_karthic A R Karthick (@a_r_karthic) reported

    @zonkerh True. Also probably small doses are a mental boost perhaps more than anything else. I read about your 84 week elite training plan on letsrun. But couldn’t locate it. Do you have it somewhere? I can pay for it though over PayPal,etc. No issues.

  • foxy_huang Li Li Huang (@foxy_huang) reported

    Had an awful experience using Paypal. The support staff was arrogant and the issue was unsolved after 2 hours. If I can help it, I will not be recommending Paypal. Stripe is a much better service provider.

  • lucasridley Lucas Ridley (@lucasridley) reported

    PayPal users beware: any security issue and they send u a text to confirm identity, but u aren’t receiving them, there are 0 alternatives to confirm ur identity. I’ve called 3x this week and same response: the system is in control, there’s ZERO override they can do!?! @AskPayPal
