    @NintendoUK Why are we unable to reach someone in the UK to help with error codes that are coming up with Switch Family Online? We've been sent to the US and Europe and they've only said they can't help, or go to PayPal, who have confirmed it is an error with Nintendo, not them.

  • damnfinelad David Bickerstaff 🤖👽👾 (@damnfinelad) reported

    @fantomfilms I seem to have PayPal issues with Tom Baker invoice. Is anyone else having trouble?

  • feeling_risque S - 2.0💋 (@feeling_risque) reported

    I really don't want to delete but paypal screwed me over and now circles are broken and I'm just so unmotivated

  • thatpaulmoffett Just Paul @thatpaul@toot.community (@thatpaulmoffett) reported

    I could make my customer do this, but I want to solve the problem for her because that's customer service. I'm not going to make her have to jump through a hundred hoops for the privilege of paying me. But Squarespace and Paypal don't give ME that same level of support.

  • GatorDave_ GatorDave (@GatorDave_) reported

    @Creality3dprint I purchased a 3D printer over the weekend during your anniversary sale, but I have received no email confirmation from you about the purchase (besides my PayPal purchase confirmation). Is that a known issue?

  • blue_moon_020 Blue ✨ (@blue_moon_020) reported

    @Tallas It's just weird bc I've never had this problem before. I've had Americans pay me to my PayPal before and it's always gone through fine. I'll have to wait until tomorrow before I go through the chat function bc it's the UK customer service and it's night time there rn

    How do you create an investment-worthy idea? Look for a problem and create a practical solution for it Elon Musk created PayPal for a purpose and later monetized it. Flutterwave and Paystack were created to solve an existing problem. Fix a problem and monetize the solution

  • FlashBlades Grey Wolf Austerity is a lie Austerity kills #GTTO (@FlashBlades) reported

    @sainsburys @Vidardogsmum Maybe Sainsbury's you could add paypal to your list of payback mechanisms. I've got the same checkout issue. Your customer service lines hang up on me when I call due to high demand apparently 😔. That's a very bad business model you're using tbf.....

  • egyptianruin DumplinHead (@egyptianruin) reported

    So @DollarTree didn't call me back like they said they would so I just filed a PayPal dispute and won right away. Money back. @DollarTree has terrible customer service.

    @PayPal I want to know why I have been trying -- for months, to have PayPal rectify a simple issue with linking my bank card (already in my wallet) to my @AskSynchrony payment options? Customer service on PayPal's side is obnoxiously incapable and non responsive. Any help?

    @Tallas I think there will be an issue with calling because my PayPal is still a British account but I'm in the states. All my information is confirmed so idk why this is happening

  • kid_earper VZZV@KID (@kid_earper) reported

    @DanaBoreen3 1/2 Not a problem! Here’s what you need to do: 1. Make the payment to my PayPal & select Friends&Family option. US$12 (1 pin) + US$7 (for Zone 2) = US$19. If you don’t have F&F option, you need to add another US$2 for PayPal fees so total will be US$21.

  • mollywidstrom antifa of cleves (the real anne of cleves) (@mollywidstrom) reported

    @bindlecore right?! paypal has a habit of just randomly shutting down accounts and simply KEEPING the balances, too, and you have to go through months and months and months of hell to get it back, and even then you might not. it's a transit system, not a bank!
