  • fish_tar Uncle Krunk, aka Joe (@fish_tar) reported

    @Elynnbarstar FYI: I've tried donating using PayPal multiple times and it seems to be having a processing error and won't go through. I'll try again after rebooting the computer. If it fails again, I'll let you know.

  • plennt “The Player” Taylor Plenn (@plennt) reported

    Maybe hundreds of times i’ve used @PayPal… now this 7 year @WellsFargo customer has had his account overdrawn to the tune of $100s bc “PayPal transactions take 1-3 days to post to my account”(never been an issue, always instantly they show up and are reflected in my balance).

  • ika_himee 🌈 Ika Hime 🌈 - COMMISSIONS OPEN (@ika_himee) reported

    I contacted the seller telling them that they addressed it incorrectly and that was why it didnt arrive to me even though they were given the correct address through my paypal and they were like "oh then are you able to get it and fix this??" " oh, The mess that YOU made? Maybe"

  • Transbot9 Glade Riven - Sometimes 🔞 (@Transbot9) reported

    @TofferTeam @KupaaNetworks Paypal is not a bank. Never leave funds raised in a Paypal account. I've seen a LOT of projects (some not even Adult or Anime or any violation of rules) die because Paypal locked the funds for Reasons (often nebulous). Banks have their own issues but they also have protections.

  • ArartsbgBj bj abrams (@ArartsbgBj) reported

    @bamidele_oye @ShieldVoC @AskPayPal That's why I have not used that company in over a decade, was always a problem getting access to funds.

  • nacquatella Neil Acquatella (@nacquatella) reported

  • P1nP0n_pinpon P1np0n_pinpon (@P1nP0n_pinpon) reported

    @PayPal @AskPayPal working on a way to pay you back sense that glitch on coinbase. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. 🙁

  • joethepopulist TX is Ready for Change NOW (@joethepopulist) reported

    Uh oh. I just got an email that says my PayPal account has been suspended. I need to click on the link to sign in to fix it. What should I do? 😝🙄

  • Nightbreakeryt 🏳️‍🌈TēnFold🏳️‍🌈 (@Nightbreakeryt) reported

    from Cashapp to Paypal, they were robbed of every cent. I feel a little slow now looking back on it because I accidentally marked the shoe size as 13 when it was, in fact, size 12, I told her this and she said she still wanted it anyway. Needless to say, I issued a refund...

  • CandiceRenee Candice's Insect Reflection (@CandiceRenee) reported

    Uh, is Paypal down?

  • wolfforce58205 wolfforce58205 (@wolfforce58205) reported

    @DvC_Ciara I would look at how it affects you personally: do you tend to get issues with buyers backing out/filing charge-backs/etc.? How many purchases pay through PayPal versus other means? Will it remove a lot of customers by taking away the option? Do what's best for your business.

  • bangmilkers Iuna (@bangmilkers) reported

    nvm my paypal is broken i forgot

  • TheCynicalVixen Allie No Longer Cares 🏳️‍⚧️🦊 (@TheCynicalVixen) reported

    @MeloDotty "I don't like you, person-with-a-Sasuke-avatar, I demand Paypal, VISA, MasterCard, and your bank shut you down!"

  • h31214703 Barrie Hughes (@h31214703) reported

    @AskPayPal @GrahamTeessider PayPal closed my account with no reason given...London headquarters denied legal responsibility passing the buck to Luxembourg. Quite insulting there is no one to discuss the problem with. I even sent them passport details when requested to prove my identity.

  • latexcomplex Goaty🔞 (@latexcomplex) reported

    i wish paypal didn't try so hard to get me to deal with automated crap that doesn't work every time i have a problem. yes, i get it, there's wait time—you can't help me with my issue unless i talk to a person. i will wait. if i get sick of waiting, i will hang up.
