Sarth (@sarth_patidar) reported@kumaru_sin @AskPayPal Hey I am going through similar issue as well my account was already linked to paypal and somehow got disconnected and now I cannot link it back. Did you find any solution?
-
Emmrys ⭐️⭐️ (@stonerchels0) reportedImagine getting shot at by some small small boys because of $500 PayPal issue that has nothing to do with me at all. Cultism has eaten deep into the society today, small boys carrying beretta.
-
A R O O J M A L I C K 🙌 (@yourbrowngurl) reportedCreators were clearly promised PayPal payouts, but the sudden switch to GIMI has created massive problems — verification failures, rejected submissions, and unpaid earnings. This is unacceptable. #YapperScam

Uncleclaysorchard (@Clays26) reported@enogrowth software is dead no big money is buying! all software will trade like paypal did until anthropic goes public and people see how much money they are losing, pltr and now down to the right for years
-
Ace 3 boogie (@Ace3boog) reported@AskPayPal have called 10 times , provided proof the crypto went to the wallet the issue is still unresolved. Which is why I’m on x unfortunately
-
Elena A (@ElenaA94798020) reported@AskPayPal Hi, I no longer have access to the phone number linked to my PayPal account, so I cannot receive the SMS verification code. I still have access to my email and know my password. Could you help me remove the old number or update my login verification method?
-
Julio Pérez フリオ・ペレズ 🇺🇦 (@TheTrueAsgard) reported@MipoMetal I don't know, Mipo-san, but at some point all BASE shops stopped working for me, even those accepting PayPal. They yield a strange error after trying to pay – always the same one. 😓
-
MeeseeksInDeFi (@Meeseeks_inDeFi) reported@Morpho @SentoraHQ @merkl_xyz 8/ Let's break down what's actually happening here. PayPal wants to expand PYUSD's footprint in DeFi. So they set aside a budget and distribute PYUSD to anyone who deposits into this vault. Sentora gets higher TVL. Users get extra yield. PayPal gets PYUSD circulation and visibility. Everyone wins until the campaign ends.

⸆⸉ Juliana⁷ (@juliana_whit) reported@chyoosu Mine kept giving me errors also for like 10 mins using PayPal I was tweaking
-
Purdy Investor (@PurdyInvestor) reported@ColesTrades It’s close to game over status. I really hope it not going to be broken for years like PayPal and others
-
Lemon れもん (@lexiton69) reported@LilSpoot @DOMDOOET I would say to do a chargeback and not message them because there’s no point after you got ghosted but since you passed 180 day mark and if you did use PayPal, that’s really not much option at this point. Either they passed away or IRL issues.
-
JustAWuWaGuy (@JustAGuy1610) reported@_Aemeath_ Or at least fix it like AKE fixed their paypal issue.... Just delete it.
-
ZahterBiyagil (@MagnumOpusSP) reported@AskPayPal You never seem to understand how frustrating and time consuming this is. There is no account access issues tab , and resolution center asks for mobile code, which I do not have access to. Can you really be of any help? I have been reaching on X with a weak hope that you can solve this fraudulent suspicious thing.
-
Lee ♿️ (@mrleeleencfc) reported@MeganKayleigh @JustEatUK Yep, they're thieving scumbags. I ordered food, something didn't arrive & had a video of my partner opening a SEALED McDonald's bag & they refused to refund despite showing them the video. Paid with Paypal and they refunded. Issue chargeback if you paid by card & delete account.
-

-
ෆAshleyyyෆ 艾希莉 | VArtist 🎀 Art | Vgen ✨(3/7) (@Annu_Artss) reported@Haalove1981 This error usually happens due to a compliance or security flag on the transaction. You can wait a few hours and try again (sometimes it’s a temporary security block) then check if your PayPal account has any verification or limits pending, if nothing works then log in again
-
SP (@SpinningPl8tes) reported@TheRealFbloke I have Now TV Sport for £24pm and reshare access (£) so get £20 PayPal back every month. Of course that scheme will be up if Sly ever lock the 3 streams down to the same IP address.
-
Priya Pareek (@iampriyapareek) reportedBanks would charge me crazy fees for international transfers, and the transfer times were unbearably long. PayPal had its own set of issues, like high exchange rates and complicated verification processes. living abroad.

Tarique Sha (@tariquesha1) reportedA London payments startup just raised $100 million. Primer was started in 2020 by 2 former PayPal executives who saw a messy problem hiding in plain sight: big online businesses were stitching together 5, 10, sometimes more payment systems and none of them talked to each other properly. So Primer built one layer that sits on top of all of them. now they process billions of transactions a year, capturing over 400 data points per transaction and their average client runs more than 95% of their payment volume through Primer. The $100M they just raised is going partly toward making Companion fully autonomous and partly toward cracking the US market,where they currently make about 20% of their revenue but want to reach 33% by 2028. London continues to dominate European fintech. UK startups pulled in $3.6 billion last year,about 41% of all European fintech investment. One city,41 percent of a continent. Primer is a good example of why.
