    @AskPayPal I'm having problems logging on to the mobile app (android). I've got the 2 step security but when I get a security code sent the screen to enter it disappears and I have to go through the login process again but the same thing happens each time so can't log in.

    @RainbowYlang Thank u!I've thought about it already such as put it on eBay or PayPal which could get it easily…but the problem here is how much should I order it. Quite difficult to decide it so I'm still stuck about this…

  • Hel_TCW Helz (@Hel_TCW) reported

    @thetraincars if you can get one, but obviously having a job so you can pay it off afterwards. Most cons from what I can see use cc when buying the ticket/ ops/ extras. This gives you more protection than some of the other methods (I know of ppl who had problems getting money back from paypal

  • ageswun USED TO - OUT NOW! (@ageswun) reported

    @paypal what the ***** the point in having a resolution centre if when I try and open a case/report a transaction, it says “there was a problem on our end” EVERY TIME. You are the worlds leading payment platform, do better.

  • RichardVigorel1 Richard Vigorelli (@RichardVigorel1) reported

    @EricDJuly PayPal asked if I was having a problem with the service. I let them have it. I told them to release what is owed.

  • jachy Jach (@jachy) reported

    Anyway, a few hours ago, Secretlab sent a "$30 off" coupon on my "first purchase". I think the issue is that my paypal email address is different from the email I gave Secretlab direct, these spams have been sent to the paypal email only. I guess they can't do entity resolution.

  • snootyoffensive Katherine Harkness (@snootyoffensive) reported

    @goustocooking is your payment service down? I can't make a payment using my card and if I switch to paypal the button greys out.

  • NupeFiasco 😶💭 (@NupeFiasco) reported

    @0xdf_ @PayPal Just use the app. I can’t stress myself trying to decipher if an email is valid. If it’s valid any transaction will show through the app or if you login to the site yourself

  • ABrightRedStar Red✨🪐 (@ABrightRedStar) reported

    @maiklton22 Haha yup, it helps that all my money is stored in my boyfriend's paypal so I can't do compulsive purchases. Tho sometimes when I'm feeling down or something I'd love to do retail therapy without consequences 😩

    What age are we living in? 75 days? PayPal sucks! I will NEVER use them again and if this is reported to the credit companies, I will make a formal complaint. Fix this and fix it now. It was handled with my friends bank the 1st day you emailed me about the problem! Get a clue PP!

  • stickontwit Ko Wairau toku awa (@stickontwit) reported

    @2covet I’ve had endless problems with PayPal. I’ve never had an account, but someone used my email to open one. For months I was getting emails demanding I log into an account I know nothing about. There was no way to communicate with them unless I logged in!

  • mkayontour --noop (@mkayontour) reported

    @jpmens @PayPal Never had an issue, Adblocker or something like that maybe?
