    @AskPayPal @PayPal VERY TERRIBLE customer service and still MY MONEY IS IN A LIMITED ACCOUNT THAT TECHNICALLY you guys closed 180 days ago , so how is it that my money in this CLOSED account still there ?

  • mshikaji4 mshikaji (@mshikaji4) reported

    @beryl_verah @treslat Also I think PayPal also have an internal rating system so the older and more consistent your account transactions, the less likely it is to run into problems unless you receive an extremely unusal credit. Like a huge credit. And I mean huge.

  • BARBBBBBBZZZZZZ DO WE HAVE A PROBLEM ⁉️ (@BARBBBBBBZZZZZZ) reported

    @onikasmiami has set up a bunch of emails and accounts. However their cashapp got shut down and do not have a PayPal. You can send them a gift card to their email however. They are looking for a 12$ gift card to buy 9 copies of #DoWeHaveAProblem

  • donmarubee ThisIsMarube (@donmarubee) reported

    @PayPal Since last year I cannot login to my PayPal not a guess. But your customer care are ****.

  • raindegrey Rain DeGrey (@raindegrey) reported

    @JackFair02 So far it's all been locked down accounts that have thousands of followers (looks like bought followers to me) that will randomly reach out and insist on sending something to my PayPal. They are really insistent and pushy about it. It feels off but I can't see how the scam works

  • Gray_Plume GrayPlume/MillyEdits (@Gray_Plume) reported

    @JackieLauBooks It's legit but make sure to login directly via PayPal to do the confirmations. I had to do this for our TRW accounts and my own as well. And yeah if you don't, they'll block you from sending/receiving money. It has to do with anti-money laundering regulations from what I remember

  • producedbynef Nef (@producedbynef) reported

    @djpain1 I def had a few ******** act like great clients to buy beats. Asked for my PayPal email to send the bread and then they tried to sign in with my info and the forgot password. Then told me to send them the code PayPal texted. Wack!!!!

  • Nekotaririn_EX ねこた💸 (@Nekotaririn_EX) reported

    FYI: due to the Paypal situation in my country. It means I can't use Ko-fi, Skeb, FANBOX, or any other platform that only accepts PayPal payments. Cryptocurrencies also have a problem in my country too. I'm sorry for any inconvenience but I hope you'll continue to support me 🥲

  • faux_rex ɈѲҢṊ (@faux_rex) reported

    So @GooglePay is a terrible service to use. Someone scammed me out of $1000 yesterday and their response was "ask them to refund you" They scammed me. I noted I did and they refused. I put it in the dispute. **** like this is why I use @PayPal and other, friendlier services.

  • mashcomZW The Last Code Bender (@mashcomZW) reported

    @freemanchari you can always get Payoneer Mastercard you can send and receive payments.Solvee the PayPal issue for me when I was working online

  • loretype Loretype (@loretype) reported

    Anyone else been having problems with using @AskPayPal to pay on stores powered by @ShopifySupport? Couldn't do it on Monday, thought it was a weird one-off, but I'm having the same issue today. Was going to try and buy some @TeccoToys models to print but I guess not :/

  • cour13r5 kit ennis yetts (@cour13r5) reported

    @RickScottFlynn frankly wish paypal wasn't the main system for so many things. they are absolutely terrible and DGAF about it.

  • JackieLauBooks Jackie Lau (@JackieLauBooks) reported

    PayPal wants me to upload some things to confirm my identity. Are they going to prevent my from my usual sending/receiving funds if I don't do this? (never had a problem before) I really don't want to send them my driver's license and bank statements...

  • isaanDOTcom Sebastian @kryptologyk (@isaanDOTcom) reported

    @Route2FI Would you do this on PAYPAL? Because it's trending down... so the benefits would be better?

  • PersonalGenius 𝔻𝕒𝕟𝕪𝕖𝕝𝕝 𝕋𝕙𝕚𝕝𝕝𝕖𝕥 ❄️ (@PersonalGenius) reported

    @AllyCare It would be nice if you could just release a public statement about why Ally no longer allows connection with PayPal, since it’s obviously a known issue.

  • faild3rp Failderp🐙 (@faild3rp) reported

    @PayPal please drop Hyperwallet. Their coding is weak at best and has terrible security. On top of that, they don't train Customer Support on how their product works, so the best you get is, "So sorry that happened to you. Let me make our programmers deal with it" and then 👻🤡.

  • LuigiGeorge2 Luigi George (@LuigiGeorge2) reported

    @AskPayPal hi! My account was hacked and payments were made off my credit cards.. then the account was closed...so I can't fix it.. I have cancelled both my CC and will get one back in the morning.. but the other one will have to be mailed to me

  • jacquik_19 JaxLong (@jacquik_19) reported

    @IcelandFoods is your payment system down on your online shopping trying to amend an order and its not working says my card details are wrong tried 2 cards and PayPal?

  • cupcakesryummy3 It'sMelanie🤷🏻‍♀️ (@cupcakesryummy3) reported

    @Rikki_Girl @Chime Chime was the one I was using to have my unemployment deposited into when I was getting that, I was having issues with CashApp and getting hacked. I didn't know at that time that I could use PayPal for that, so I opened a Chime account. I really liked it but my job doesnt do DD😫

  • PlantBasedBre Breanna Danielle #PlantBasedPath (@PlantBasedBre) reported

    @AskPayPal what is the point of a resolution center if that center is unable to process the issue…

  • raindegrey Rain DeGrey (@raindegrey) reported

    Anyone else having a big influx of locked down accounts on IG reaching out and like... STRONGLY insisting on sending something to your PayPal? People you have never talked to before really insisting on getting your PayPal? I am getting a bunch lately... 1/2

  • IntLewd Interlewd (@IntLewd) reported

    @teru39_teru Thanks teru bud, take your time and tell me if you want to or not. I'll even paypal you the money for shipping, no problem

  • IrishVhure i (@IrishVhure) reported

    @Amanyatsu @Joetastic_ I've heard really good things about Wise but personally haven't used it myself, so I can form a firm opinion on it, but I've had a plethora of issues with my time using services like PayPal and Venmo.

  • Chronicles077 Chronicles (@Chronicles077) reported

    If the winner can't claim, it will be rerolled... You should have PayPal,or you can get Google play gift card of india or i can login to your game and buy it for you... GOOD LUCK 🤞👍

  • StripDZN TT9 Strip (@StripDZN) reported

    @alfhovey MY PAYPAL IS LOCKED (keyword; locked (aka not working, not able to receive payments)

  • Peter_S325 Peter✨ (@Peter_S325) reported

    Trying to create a paypal and this ***** is like there have been some issues... Give me all ur info

  • Amanyatsu Amanatsu「甘夏」 @ Cube Community (@Amanyatsu) reported

    @IrishVhure @Joetastic_ Fair enough. I have never experienced an issue that wasn't almost immediately resolved with PayPal, but I get people have different experiences. At any rate, I think these changes shouldn't really affect anyone that wasn't already being irresponsible with their business on PayPal

  • The_Macula Macula (@The_Macula) reported

    @MegaMekaLesbian It’s the whole closed front, sealed boxes that are going to be the problem. I feel that explaining bg why would be enabling theft and fraud. So if you want to know, send £5 to via PayPal for a full pdf guide..

  • edcookdotorg Ed Cook (TI-5335) (@edcookdotorg) reported

    @AskPayPal When I click “add cash at a store”, the app crashes. Others are having this issue as well. Any plans for a fix?

  • ameyaw112 Ameyaw Debrah (@ameyaw112) reported

    it is supposed to be a month of love but February hasn't shown me much of that. in fact i went for 5 days without receiving any money via PayPal. And revenue from other channels have been low and slow
