    @JKsGirlWithLuv I tried for Jimin’s hoodie, but PayPal was way too slow. A friend was able to get it for me, though. I honestly wasn’t gonna try for JK’s until I watched the making log. When he said, “you might think it’s tacky,” I said, “No, baby, I love it & will buy it!” Lol

    @AskPayPal How much time am I supposed to wait for my issue to be resolved ? I need my purchase today..

  • light_war Light War (@light_war) reported

    @Etsy hey there, I received a message from a buyer saying they are unable to purchase, 'All payment methods for this shop are temporarily unavailable'. I tried adding PayPal to my payment account options. It would not accept my email. How do I resolve this issue? Many thx 🙏

  • AnthonyKaneEva1 Anthony Kane Evans (@AnthonyKaneEva1) reported

    @LeoMcKayJr I had that exact same problem with Paypal. They wanted proof that I was a business. I called them, told them that I wasn't a business and couldn't they switch me over to a personal account. No, they couldn't. Then what should I do? The answer was set up a new account.

  • Mercy56020064 Mercy (@Mercy56020064) reported

    @AskPayPal Calling PayPal or messaging them is just a problem over a problem help me in other ways because I would need to access my account

  • Kenaya121 Kenaya12 (@Kenaya121) reported

    @Shopkick Why can’t I redeem my kicks to my PayPal? I then changed the reward and it’s saying an error has occurred @Shopkick

    @dualiesart I dont have a paypal ,that's the problem,the only solution i could find is discord nitro

  • Sillydile Loryn (@Sillydile) reported

    @DocDespair Yeah, I gotta re-read the law. It mostly affects business accounts. The problem is accepting donations through Paypal, they take a fee because they auto process through goods and services when it's supposed to be a donation/gift. I gotta re-do my Ko-fi tip jar for streaming.

  • lhmoney Lydia Haisma (@lhmoney) reported

    @pulte No cash app outside USA. I do have PayPal and Skrill. Been stuck in Nigeria for 4 years now, broke and broken. Could use it to start a business and move on.

  • NOONNIAGARA5 Hugo Stiglitz 🇨🇦 (67 days.. maybe) (@NOONNIAGARA5) reported

    Hey everyone, I just learned about the PayPal g&s and ff. I'm really sorry if my payments today came as g&s. I had no idea about the options. I'm new to this and a seller just gave me a quick education about it. I won't make that error when buying again in the future. #thehobby

  • oriahb Oriah Ben-Gal (@oriahb) reported from Miami Beach, Florida

    @aditishekar @defeomike @NikMilanovic The brand is hugely trusted. I personally know that if I have an issue, PayPal has my back.

  • Exobass 📝Exobass📝 Commissions Open (@Exobass) reported

    @RainBowFl4sh @PayPal I had issues with currencys and amount in the past so I choose to use invoices, when it comes to comms. Also not everybody wants to use friends and family which I personally dont mind (Im after all a rando from the internet to some peops)
