    PayPal was taking out a good $6-9 outta that $400. They not ****** with you. You run a legit business, you have to register for a business account. THEY WILL GET THEIR MONEY. My cash app & etc. ain’t shut down cause the IRS has my social security #. I’m threw either way.

  • renegade_roo Renegade Kangaroo (@renegade_roo) reported

    Already filed the claim with PayPal and reached out to my bank.. This has never happened to me before and it put my account about $100 in the red. It's hard not to take it personally... I hope PayPal will fix it soon...

  • parapism Elfred 🎅☃️🌲 (@parapism) reported

    @HeldinEU Either a scam. Or just the actual PayPal being a scam which both could be true. Avoid PayPal at all costs. Such a terrible company IMHO.

    @chevypepper How exactly is PayPal occasionally a thorn in your side? I never run into any issue using it. Also, I have never used Square as I was never able to find the correct one. Do you have a link by chance?

    @AskPayPal Hey, this message is for any PayPal user who is facing the same issue of funds withdrawal that I have been facing for more than 10 days. I made a funds withdrawal from PayPal to my own personal bank account on April 4th, and disappointedly, they are still not in my bank account.

    Phishing accounted for 36% of all attacks in 2022, while paypal was the near-exclusive focus of phishers in the electronic payment systems category. Despite some recent problems in the cryptocurrency market, many people still view it as a w

    @AskPayPal I've received an email from Paypal requesting me to change the password. However, I've still had my old phone number associated with it, and when I try to use the PS2D2 authentication by using the app, the app doesn't let me login because the password needs to be reset

    @mynameis_evi PayPal​ ​should definitely refund you. If you haven't received goods you've paid for then I can't see an issue. PayPal will just deduct it from the seller. Good luck!

  • Bnshah1501 BHUPENCHANDRA SHAH (@Bnshah1501) reported

    @PayPal @PayPalUK @AskPayPal absolute harassment, adamancy for over 1 hour by Ms Ryan, Mr Max, Mr John & Ms Tony for a disputed transaction and to log a complaint. Requesting to listen to the phone call as all 4 were waste of space in the company. Terrible. Stop using paypal now.

  • LordTacocat420 Garth (@LordTacocat420) reported

    @illumixis @bh_cofounder @HashBastardsNFT Let's look at crypto and credit cards for example. The biggest issue most had with crypto was that it was "fake money" that you couldn't actually use. Then companies like paypal and visa come out with ways to spend crypto on irl purchases, drove adoption massively.

    @PayPal @AskPayPal is actually the most frustrating website ever to try and resolve an issue when you can't login. I've been stuck unable to login for the past 3 days, and to try and even email them, you need to login 🙃

    @rrabrot @webflow Other payment/payout providers aside of Stripe and PayPal, since the latter is not good (too expensive, many other issues) whilst the first one is available only in 45+ countries — many folks just cannot use it.

    @HeldinEU If you have PayPal login to your account, not via any email link, and check. Likely this is a scam.
