    Disgusting customer service from @hmunitedkingdom today, QR code on my receipt not working so couldn't proce refund. Said it was my fault for paying via Paypal! Manager told me there was no one more senior than her I could speak to, who knew the owner of H&M worked in Romford!

    @arianna48374176 @Adriano78208480 @snapchatsupport What I would do. 1. Turn your device off and back on. 2. See if that card will work 3. If it does, cool. If not, create a free PayPal account and use tha for iTunes. I had a similar issue years ago where it wouldn’t accept my card but it accepted paypal no problem

  • Akriloth Akriloth (@Akriloth) reported

    @JPSWITCHMANIA @PMurphy1978 Nope can't stand to look at it sorry. Had issue with bank and not even week after with an alt PayPal option they dropped me and wouldn't respond back even though the bank issue finally resolved. So I say NAY!

    @thekingoftimbs **** if she survive I’ll PayPal her 50 bucks for the trouble 🙏

  • safeabzi abzi (@safeabzi) reported

    @Htuomrutuhs no u can't claim the same through a bank transfer. if I give u £5 and go to the bank, they'll say that's ur problem. but PayPal u can genuinely get ur money back and screw ppl over. a friend to friend bank transfer u can't screw that person over after you've paid

  • DieNoMight9 DieNoMight (@DieNoMight9) reported

    @LimitedRunGames I was able to secure a standard Vita copy using PayPal. Site was running slow, but once at PayPal everything went smooth. Good luck for anyone going for the afternoon batch!

  • blondegrace_x goddess grace (@blondegrace_x) reported

    Anyone else having problems with PayPal?

  • AnonymousWedger AnonymousWedger🏆 (@AnonymousWedger) reported

    @ephemeraljoy Paid through link on in website using PayPal. Livenow have zero of my banking details thankfully after reading your problems today. I always use PayPal as the middleman where possible. Dunno if its any more secure, but it makes me feel more comfortable buying online.

  • patrick_lorio Patrick Lorio (@patrick_lorio) reported

    Wow, both @PayPal and @stripe now keep the processing fee when you issue a refund. Anyone know a payment processor that doesn't do this crap?

  • 7ahmir jaden 🧧 (@7ahmir) reported

    My PayPal is currently down, so from right now, if you plan on getting a custom done please use cashapp or Apple Pay. I’ll walk you through the steps

  • MrTurnip_Head Shane (@MrTurnip_Head) reported

    @PayPal It's funny that Paypal lists "#bitcoin cash" but not deCRED; nobody cares about bitcoin forks. This is why bitcoin has a major problem. they fight until they chainsplit.. segmenting confidence & community & overall faith. And one day it will be attacked #deCRED is the answer

  • AeonArcadia Aeon Arcadia 🌊 {EN VTuber} (@AeonArcadia) reported

    @AskPayPal Has decided to just reiterate what they told me on the website. They are shutting me down without giving me a reason. I started streaming a week ago. And without reason they have shut down my account. They have killed my dream. #ENVtuber #VTuber

  • insectopisado Insecto Aplastado (@insectopisado) reported

    @harishkgarg @gumroad It’s PayPal giving trouble again...

  • CorrineHR Corrine Rowe (@CorrineHR) reported

  • Foil_Island mike ズーテッド 🧙🏽‍♂️🦦 (@Foil_Island) reported

    @rcktcollectible I’m just a normal buyer whose billing/shipping are different will I have issues trying to purchase an item via PayPal tonight?

  • Ruggstickles Ruggstickles (@Ruggstickles) reported

    Hi @cdkeyscom_en your website is really broken. Constantly asks me to log in - really difficult to purchase anything other than as a guest or via PayPal. I've sent a support ticket, but as an Affiliate it worries me others may be having the same negative user experience.

  • Spac21_ GyMmysGames (@Spac21_) reported

    @AlexaBoostup My credit card and transaction works for other sites, but you, this Is the error I get from paypal while transaction "Sorry, we can’t complete your purchase at this time To comply with international regulations, this transaction has been declined." fix It please ASAP.

  • Gareth937 Gareth McGimpsey (@Gareth937) reported

    @OTT_wrestling Is the issue with having to buy through PayPal now fixed?

  • grozumi Kutao Izumi (@grozumi) reported

    @Kinoshita_Crazy It doesn't work like that for Pixiv requests tho, it automatically doesn't allow you to accept r18 requests once you set up Paypal to receive payment. So you still have to do it the old way. Not a huge issue, just annoying.

  • TessTessellates Tess Tessellates (@TessTessellates) reported

    @angel_klea Maybe if you take down your Paypal link and your 'She/her' in the bio and talk to guys with the express intent on meeting them, then they'd be more inclined to be with you.

  • insectopisado Insecto Aplastado (@insectopisado) reported

    @crisssssspy @ayushtweetshere @gumroad I emailed them and they answered that it was PayPal’s fault again... every week there seems to be an issue with PayPal...

  • donna_sur Donna Sue (@donna_sur) reported

    @Hopperae1 @katepalmer49 I don’t know. I can’t even sign in to my PayPal for some reason. Wish he had Venmo

  • KenWhistance Ken Whistance (@KenWhistance) reported

    @Tia44415489 I'm not sure what the problem is with PayPal. Every time I try to use it, it says its protecting me and I must reset my password.

  • leakwhyess lea • انتهت ليا لك ☁️ (@leakwhyess) reported

    The BTS Army are the watered-down musical equivalent of a grassroot movement: the overseas fans are collectively wiring money to the US fans under the disguise of hosting Paypal fundraisers…and from there the US fans are mass-purchasing the song through their online retailers…

  • RtisticWriter Sam (@RtisticWriter) reported

    Finally, this weird explanation brings me to the PayPal issue. I didn't know how the process of connecting a bank worked because I forgot to look into that. The first method, immediate connection, kept failing on me and the second method, "2 mock deposits", just... was stupid.

    SEC Investigates PayPal Swipe Fees Paid to Bank Behind Debit Cards, PYPL Stock down 6%

  • GtoTheNextLevel GtoTheNextLevel @ Classic Game Fest (7/24!) 💖💛💙 (@GtoTheNextLevel) reported

    @ABeerAndAGame @MaddasaHater Yeah I stopped using PayPal as my payment method after the DariusBurst glitch that happened to me.

  • CompaniesHouse Companies House (@CompaniesHouse) reported

    We’re currently experiencing issues with payments made via PayPal. Please pay using an alternative method such as debit or credit card. We're sorry for any inconvenience caused.

  • capital_sb Beez (@capital_sb) reported

    @jasminexETH @BD_Mogul @PayPal Not my money daily payouts 🙃🙃🙃. I've never had issues since day 1

  • safeabzi abzi (@safeabzi) reported

    @Htuomrutuhs but yeah. that's the issue with buying expensive things on Facebook. they wanna protect their product and u wanna protect ur money. there's no reason for them to agree to PayPal just like u don't wanna agree to bank transfer cos its risky for you
