  Ngl, it is genuinely a problem that PayPal can do that. I get they have their rules and stuff, but no service should be able to hold people's money hostage/steal it. Sure, Ban or close accounts, but return the money!

  21-year-old student living with her mum, single for 6+ months, openly admits she dates for money and will cheat if he doesn’t pay up Babe, you’re not looking for a boyfriend, you’re running a side hustle with terrible ROI. Loyalty isn’t a PayPal invoice, and the streets already have better rates. Men, this is your sign to stay single and invest in yourself instead. Peak 2026 dating logic " Short, savage, factual, and gets laughs while dragging the entitlement. Post at your own risk — it’ll probably cook. Want it spicier or milder?

  @Officeworks YOUR ONLINE SERVICES ABSOLUTLEY SUCK! & the fact that your in store staff cannot (they tried) assist with online orders stuck due to a KNOWN issue with Paypal being used to purchase Software is just BS. Why accept paypal for software if YOU KNOW IT NEEDS MANUAL push

  @vansh22b PayPal disabled my account and never told why. No contact point to contact them. I just cant access my account nor use forgot password. Only way was to contact them via twitter and even their provided steps failed. Glitch is cant contact them without login

  @echoalexander_ No literally—I'm having my own issue with PayPal right now (not for the same reasons) and they're withholding about 2.3k from me that they froze my account over 🥲 Working on seeing if I can get it resolved, but it just feels ridiculous that they can (apparently) just do that.

  @PramilaJayapal PayPal, I have owned guns for 60 years. They have never harmed one person. So, where is the problem?

  Stop leaving your cash inside PayPal. A brand I work with had 147,000 dollars sitting in their PayPal balance. Not swept to the bank. Just sitting there. That is not a buffer. That is a risk. Payment processors freeze balances without warning, especially when volume spikes during a sale. The money you cannot move is not working capital. It is exposure. Set up a daily automatic transfer to your operating account. Your cash should sit where you control it, not where a platform does. A frozen balance during your biggest sales week is a problem you can prevent today.

  @yabaguu @CuppyCakiee So they removed stripe awhile back. People got upset about it. Then they added stripe back recently. I think it had something to do with tos and conflicts. Throne allowing NSFW items and funding probably didn't go well during the payment processor freak out if I had to guess. also a note on paypal. It can effect taxes at the end of the year to have throne and twitch go there. Its not hard to fix if your tax person knows but you risk being taxed twitch for that income. Purely speaking as a united state's living individual.

  I had it since Oct last year(the ban, the account was from like 2020) and I can't even close it to try to make a new one since even most platforms will use PayPal too. And that ban thing has been a problem for artists for years. Thank God I didn't keep money in there.(2/3)

  @CashSupport PR response, long story short. I was given no reason for permanent account closure. They have doubled down on this in their DMs. If you’re a SW, don’t bother with cashapp. Just like PayPal, they discriminate and will lock money.

  @CashApp What does it do? I can't order one because you guys shut me down for transactions you allowed to FanDuel without giving me any warning whatsoever and you won't give me a second chance. Millions of dollars worth of transactions since 2014. You lost a huge customer to PayPal now.

  @Maxx6a Yes, we ship internationally. DHL is our shipping partner, so delivery is fast and reliable worldwide. The main thing to be aware of is that your country may charge customs duties or import fees when the package arrives. These fees are determined by your local customs authority and are the responsibility of the recipient. Other than that, there should be no issues. We offer secure payment through both credit cards and PayPal, making it easy to place orders from anywhere in the world

  @alissashogun Dispute it directly through PayPal!! They’ll issue a proper refund that way if you show the damages as well as screenshots of the email thread :)

  My Money20/20 🇳🇱 Takeaways: - Stablecoins are eating the room. Tokenized cash is the first real blockchain use case - and every major payments player (Stripe, PayPal, Checkout, Visa, Mastercard, Worldline, Worldpay) knows it. - A lot of crypto startups are about to get crushed - not by competition, but by irrelevance. The payments giants are building the same features. Problem is, crypto founders are still pitching at crypto conferences while the actual deals are happening at venues like this one. The ROI gap is real. Crypto conferences are loud and busy. Money20/20 is where the business actually gets done. If you're a crypto player, you need to prove you add value to a system that already works - or get out of the way. The shine is fading. Fewer attendees than previous years, two halls closed, and nearly everyone I spoke to said it's gotten too expensive - almost $5K for a ticket is a hard sell when ROI is already under pressure.

  @BNBuzz #BarnesandNoble Have to say that your switch over to the new website is kind of terrible. Not intuitive. Hard to find things. You don’t take #PayPal @PayPal anymore. No clue why you messed with it and respectively request that you fix it. @booksamillion looking good.

  4/ October 21, 2016. The order is given. 300,000 devices flood Dyn — the DNS provider routing traffic for half the internet. 1.2 Tbps of traffic. The biggest DDoS attack in history at that time. Twitter: down. Netflix: down. Reddit, CNN, PayPal: down. For hours.

  @AskPayPal I deleted my previous account as i needed to change the country. Now when I try to sign up, it says the account with the email id exists. Neither password works nor Forgot Password. Something went wrong pops up. I can even ask the Assistant since I need to login.

  @EtrnlYth130613 @OneInAnARMY I had the same issue! If you aren’t a UK resident, don’t pay in pounds if you’re using a cc - I did mine in USD. The requirement of paying in pounds is only if you want to use PayPal as the payment option, i believe!
