Md Sohan Hossain (@sohan337) reported@ssamgum Honestly, I don’t even know what to do at this point. PayPal isn’t supported in our country, so I’m already dealing with enough issues using Payoneer. Calling support probably won’t help either the only thing that might actually work is live chat, but that option is turned off.

PUPPA (@PuppaCoin) reportedPayPal just dropped crypto access in 70 new markets including Africa and now my Nigerian prince friend can finally send me Bitcoin instead of asking for my bank details in broken English

🆕一柳隊の新章舞台欲しい (@t3_rue) reported@tackane Im pretty sure wise has its own problems too but i personally never had the headaches that paypal had me go through too so big same. I think generally, alternatives are less appealing if ppl are so used to the product,

csspostal (@csspostal) reported@BEAMStreamGG activations not working right now tried monthly yearly credit card paypal and google pay Activation failed please try again. Emailed support.

Cliff DeMartino (@Keystone80435) reported@totonna9 @HolyMolySakura This is correct. I had zero issue wiring from a US bank account to the Ishikawa zoo info listed on the zoo site. If they can ever get a paypal/venmo link the numbers would pop but i get the rules and the fact this is a very small zoo with not many resources. But can confirm zero issues from US banks to Ishikawa Zoo bank.

سعدي هشام عبيد (@profisadi) reported@AskPayPal Hello. My PayPal account is locked with a “unusual activity” security message and I cannot access customer support because login is restricted. Please help me restore access to my account.

ImRedCat (trying to be an artistn't) (@ImNotAtRedCat) reportedI got my first commission, but PayPal is terrible, they blocked my account and I lost the money I earned..... :/
-
ASH 🍊 slow resp (@OrangeTart_) reportedanother bad news is I cant accept cms via vgen since I need to access the authenticator app on my phone (which still broken..) so I'll accept kofi/paypal or local bank only. There will be special offer for this urgent cms!

Ⓟⓛⓐⓖⓘⓞⓝ_ⓨⓐⓞⓘ🔞 (@Pppppppplagion) reported@charlie158458 So yeah. Unifans had some trouble wuth Paypal and they had to change their payment stuff. You can try Deviantart, they accept Paypal

The Wallstreet Report (@Specialist_79) reported@cryptorover PayPal sucks. They promote an instant transfer, but they randomly hold clients money 5 to 21 days. When i realized this, I knew they would go down. No integrity in this company.
-
Karl (@Maxxl94) reported@Retailer1041 @TechEquityEng @amitisinvesting Paypal is profitable but stock is going down. Same logic could be applied to reddit (at least for the next two quarters). Fyi: I'm a shareholder in reddit but small position. Will add if it goes to 100 or at the end of the year due to new licensing deals
-
Guasón (@J0kerIsntHere) reported@totallynotretro I never trusted Sony enough to keep my info safe ever since the 2011 attack. Time has proven time and time again, each time they go down I'm glad I don't keep my debit nor PayPal connected. I'm keeping my PSN isolated.
-
Ray, The Immortal🔱 (@SheFell4Russia) reportedIf you have a PayPal or venmo, there's a life hack for being able to consistently buy Bitcoin and other crypto as well as stocks throughout the day. Instant Legal Transfers type sht. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.......
-
The Berg Brief (@TheBergBrief) reported$PYPL — PayPal | ~$44 Launching PYUSD stablecoin aggressively. Partnered across major exchanges. Down 50%+ from highs. Analyst consensus PT $55. High target $100. The market is pricing PayPal as a dying fintech. It is quietly building the stablecoin infrastructure that could reprice it entirely. 26% upside to consensus. Contrarian entry.

Infold's Clown (@QuietRants_) reported@valebxiaa I'm so sorry this has happened to you, its a really ****** thing to have happen. Can i ask, because i saw this paypal issue lately, were there any descriptions/words said to indicate nsfw in your invoices? I dont use paypal, but i heard that thats where they check
-
FrugalBC (@frugalbc) reportedMy hypothetical crypto app that simply allows a normie to send money to anyone else on crypto rails needs to be paypal easy. And as much as I think Pera Wallet is going in the right direction, it is not paypal easy. If a GenX person can say "here is money in my bank account, I push a button and the money goes to my friend, and then said friend has it in his bank account,' its UI is simple enough. I can tell you from experience: it is not there. It's going in that direction. And it has way better UI than most crypto wallets. But it is not there. It's the difference between using terminal and GUI in computers. When crypto hits its GUI phase, crypto will see every day usage. Solve real problems. And UI is part of that problem.

Liberty Swap ⚡️ Bridge2Pulse™️ Railgun (@LibertySwapFi) reported@PulseDai @zkxwallet We’re aiming to go even faster, down to 10 seconds, to buy PulseChain assets using Cash App, Robinhood, and PayPal with a 0.3% fee.

wiper (@andersonthecat) reported@j3w7a @comms2point0 i actually did get someone in support chat, they escalated and supposedly are getting back to me. i don’t think i need blockchain forensics, it’s just the paypal stable coin. i need paypal to fix their withdrawal glitch…
-

-
Emotional Investor (@LeveragedFun) reported@Kabuhl @taobanker believe or it not, Paypal reported ATH revenue and earnings last quarter. they are guiding down for this year, but it's mostly due to bigger reinvestment. so this narrative isn't quite true. you can compare $XYZ , $FOUR, $FISV, $GPN - their charts all suck
-
Ron Kar-Wai (@ronkar_wai) reportedI just commissioned some art, but theyre Brazilian. I sent half the money, & their PayPal shut down, had to get a refund, then I used a stripe payment, two cards get declined for fraud… but I still sent the money. Now they haven’t replied to my email. Surely I didn’t get scammed

-
The Few Bets That Matter (@WealthyReadings) reported@zebaloobie My problem remains the same, those are math. The market isn't about math. If no one has a reason to buy PayPal, those math don't matter at all... On the paper, I'd agree with you, In pratice, no
-
7VEN Rocky (@RockyNumber7) reportedHey @PayPal, your refund system is definitely broken. How is it legal that you issue me a refund credit, then ask me for the info regarding my refund credit, and then you automatically deny my refund after you just received the very information you asked me for? Make this make sense, because this isn't right!

Beats By Klassified (@iamklassified) reported@Tipcy_Jaej @BeatStars No issue. The only solution was to create a foreign PayPal account and I no really get the energy for all the madness
