    @PayPal I need a customer agent in the executive offices to reach out to me in regards to a unresolved issue on a debit card fraud issue and replacement card! Your international customer service is a joke and I’ve wasted 8 hours dm me a phone number to the executive offices in US

    @ashypilots For anyone sceptic, I requested a partial refund because I wasn’t comfortable going through with the rest of my commission. I reached out to Ash instead of PayPal since the rest of the commission was done without issue (and fairly quickly) so I didn’t want to do a full charge-

    @AskPayPal Hello, I have a problem with my PayPal account. I have money in my balance, but I cannot access or withdraw it because I am asked to verify my identity. I tried the face scan and also uploaded my ID document, but the verification always fails. Can you please help me

    @Jade_Artz232 Use Boosty, money goes directly into your card; the only "problem" is that the value is in Rubles (it auto-converts when it arrives in your account). And people can pay with paypal.

    @MANKYOX_ @KoudaTune also if the commission is NSFW related you will get trouble if client report it as it was a nsfw commission. stripe and paypal are banning nsfw services , so getting another payment option if you do sell nsfw stuff avoid paypal and stripe i guess

    I've been thinking but idk if it's too risky. to open comms rn, but since im having difficulty opening a paypal acc, was thinking if i should start taking comms NOW that i have time, then client pays once my paypal problem is troubleshooted. I'll finish the pieces but i wont send

    $PYPL $AAPL PayPal shares drop as CEO Enrique Lores issues weak Q2 guidance despite Q1 beat

  • UncleInvest
    Uncle Investor (@UncleInvest) reported

    I am getting bullish on $PYPL. I am down big on this one. I bought this position before I went on twitter. It's down 50% for me. But as you have come to know, I don't sell my losers either. Why am I bullish? PYPL is now open to spinning off Venmo. PayPal (the app) and Venmo are the #1 and #2 payment apps on smartphones. Payments are big business and there are a lot of competitors. PayPal has share but is getting beat by Apple and Google. But Venmo has a niche in payments. Small payments, group payments, very small business. It's social and users send money to people versus just businesses. It would be a good fit for somebody. I think that somebody is $CRCL or $COIN.

    @RandianCapital Ride down to 3 or 2 probably 1 and split . Time will tell with this useless management team . Fate today will be same as PayPal yesterday even they beat the earning the guidance will be poor.

    @ariaradnia Same with PayPal. They don’t deserve to be down 10%, they will be the default payment of agentic commerce. There ads business will be huge, the data that they have is unique

    @terriblelovebrd Yeah!! It's always the first thing I fill out when placing my glitch orders I wanted to know if there's a specific email I can use to track my payment/order, because for some reason PayPal didn't register it and that worries me ;;;I've never had problems processing payment..

    @PayPal will always close down African accounts just for receiving 50 dollars for a service you have worked for and earned it.

    @EnriqueJLores @PayPal PayPal has become inefficient and difficult to use in my opinion. I have had issues for 2 months now that despite hours trying to resolve, remain unresolved. At scale, no wonder PayPal needs a turn around. Good luck

    @BBCWorld My concern is justice, This BBC investigation is heartbreaking. If dogs are being abused to raise fake donations, we should not look at this as just poverty” or hustle, it is animal cruelty and fraud. Uganda has laws to prosecute this. Authorities, GoFundMe/PayPal and social platforms must follow the money and shut it down.

    @Web3flux im not sure why paypal blocks some accounts because ive been recieving payments ever since i opened my account back in 2012. Ive recieved as high as $900 without any problems..Till today my account is in good standing with paypal. Mine is a business account. Its free to convert your account to business one.

  • techedgedaily
    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.

    @LeveragedFun @SiliconSalvage But this is how they fix the core business, is divesting Venmo and possibly brain tree and being laser focused on PayPal wallet + branded checkout. Selling a business that makes no money for $20B is not selling low.

    IronWolf1765 (@IronWolf1470) reported

    I'm having a similar issue. I got a new debit card, but PayPal gave me this notification. They did it because they found it suspicious. They ask me to confirm my card, but it's my old debit card that's blocked. I wanna remove the old card, but PayPal won't let me do it.

    @PayPal Must be nice. Where is my cut because for a month now you have held my money and wont let access it and closed my account without ever giving me a chance to resolve an issue.. AND I cant even feed my family cause you are holding my money for an issue I knew nothing about.

    @aye_pete @teddi_speaks “Why is it always Nigerians banned from every useful service? PayPal? banned. Stripe" Yet Nigerians living in the West use these same platforms without any issues. Did they suddenly stop being Nigerians?

    @AskPayPal nobody responds, I've been trying to contact you guys for a month now, the closest I got to getting support was talking to a bot. I need to fix my account and you guys just keep restricting me without even allowing me to prove that my account is fine.

    @Venmo Your app is not allowing me to put in my deposits to verify my bank account, not allowing me to add a new debit card! Customer service is poor and could not help at all! Terrible! @paypal @venmo

    @randomperson357 @JustEatUK Yeah, shows how many people complain about them that so many bots jump on any mention of them! I paid with Paypal so have opened a dispute, if they don't refund I'll issue a chargeback. No chance this company doesn't go bust, so many bad reviews! Hope you get your money back!
