  • JasonJiants Jason Garson (@JasonJiants) reported from Kendall, Florida

    @AskSynchrony I’m having an issue logging into my @PayPal extras MC account for the last several months, I call support and they say that it will be fixed next month and it still hasn’t, called today and they said I have to contact @PayPal they tell me to contact you please help!

  • paymentsexpert Todd Ablowitz (@paymentsexpert) reported from Centennial, Colorado

    @HarryStebbings The TAM issue is real. In the payments world there’s room for huge myopia. Square turned a saturated US market into greenfield. Stripe turned distribution on its ear Vertical software companies are gonna do it again, just watch. TAM is bigger than 10x SQ, Stripe & Paypal combined

  • kpryai1 OMAR (@kpryai1) reported from Al Kharj, Minţaqat ar Riyāḑ

    @AskPayPal @craZ4apple I have a problem with PayPal

  • JasonJiants Jason Garson (@JasonJiants) reported from Hallandale Beach, Florida

    @AskPayPal I’ve had to call PayPal extras MasterCard customer service the last few months because I get a login not permitted message, every month they say it will take a few days but we will fix it, every month they don’t, please help!

  • Sheepinsocks2 ross 💚 (@Sheepinsocks2) reported from Wallasey, England

    @AskPayPal I hope its quicker than it has been, it's a shocking catalogue of errors

  • EymeXY EYME XY (@EymeXY) reported from Brooklyn, New York

    @AskPayPal No. You guys are unprofessional and I plan on making sure I escalate my issue to court if I have to.

  • yasssqueeen L E I G H 👻 (@yasssqueeen) reported from Gilbert, Arizona

    @reqinaswan I have legit been using PayPal for like 10 years now. Never once have I caused an overdraft or not had the funds or had ANY problem. There is quite literally no reason for them to hold money. For any reason. For 10 years, I’ve had the damn money. It’s so@frustrating

  • AmyAspie AMY ASPIE (@AmyAspie) reported from Lambeth, England

    @savoy__truffle @TktTxt @Red_Imp_Comedy @PayPal Youve made a technical error. Totally understand, happens to every company. But we should not have to pay the price for that, just because we used a payment method which we were under terms and conditions allowed to use

  • tl_weedman TL Weedman (@tl_weedman) reported from North Washington, Colorado

    @BeatzGary @KaCeTheProducer @BeatStars Hmmmmm @AskPayPal has a rule that they will almost always side with the customer. I actually had to shut down a business because of PayPal and the allowing so many people to rip me off.

  • MoonchildLulu_ 🌙Terra Lu 🌑 (@MoonchildLulu_) reported from The Woodlands, Texas

    Maybe. Technically it was only your saved address. however I've had it happen to me with Amazon whenever I use PayPal to pay but Amazon hadn't saved my address correctly. They shipped it to the wrong place, so this is just me trying to fix that for y'all.

  • Capikorn70 Alex 🏁🇺🇸🏁 (@Capikorn70) reported from Lake Elsinore, California

    @Uber You dont make it easy to join. Trying to link my bank and PayPal and you come up with error. I guess I'll try @lyft

  • TeddyWynton A Wah Is A Drum (Teddy Wynton @EF25) (@TeddyWynton) reported from Parkville, Maryland

    Most of my debt came from dropping out of 1 semester of community college ($6k but down to $5600 after paying off interest) and having a friend lend me money to buy my first pro kit ($2k) and then using paypal credit to expand my recording rig. One day I’ll be debt free... ;3;

  • docmosho Dr. Maurice Sholas (@docmosho) reported from New Orleans, Louisiana

    Today is irritating. @PayPal and their instant transfer function is not working right. Instant does NOT mean tomorrow... do better @AskPayPal ! This is trash. #badservice

  • LivvMyLife le fruit interdit🍎 (@LivvMyLife) reported from Harvey, Louisiana

    AND preferably uses Venmo , Apple Pay , cash app or PayPal because then asking for my bank acct login / info issa dub

  • l3zozx عبدالعزيز (@l3zozx) reported from Dammam, Al Minţaqah ash Sharqīyah

    @mhablg + paypal issue 😂

  • CreateGreg Create Greg (@CreateGreg) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    I don't complain in public, but @PayPal you have the worst financial/customer service in this part of the universe. From blocking my account to not accepting documents from my bank to charging for everything what’s possible and waisting 1hr to solve issue, eventually done in 2min

  • LLC00lSlay LLC00lSlay (@LLC00lSlay) reported from Lubbock, Texas

    @Deej_Destron I had the same issue. They used PayPal to pay close to $400 for their PlayStation network account.

  • alexk2 Alex (@alexk2) reported from Hertfordshire, England

    And the award for the worst customer service of 2019 goes to @PayPalUK. Two weeks and counting to sort out a problem they caused. 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 They don’t reply to messages and tell me the problem is their own system but still won’t sort it out. Bravo. @AskPayPal

  • NatashaBowey Natasha Bowey (@NatashaBowey) reported from Hatfield, England

    Case number #5208145758 please help me more than what you have. I had an e mail saying that I can issue the refund once I receive the item...however; the money has already come out of my PayPal account.

  • andygmatt Andy Matthews (@andygmatt) reported from Solihull, England

    @shewolf1877 Yes no problem . You can pay via PayPal on the Just Giving page

  • scottlay Scott Lay (@scottlay) reported from Sacramento, California

    @sdlipton @TradeMoreMobile @AskPayPal I definitely wouldn't have tweeted about it if they actually had the support they claimed on their website. First problem after many years of heavy PayPal use and I'm not pointing at PayPal for the blame. It's on TradeMore, which I guess is like Gazelle.

  • MoonchildLulu_ 🌙Terra Lu 🌑 (@MoonchildLulu_) reported from The Woodlands, Texas

    People keep saying I'm causing unnecessary panic and providing false information. I'm not. I am, however, sharing the information via screenshot and my own experiences with PayPal giving me issues after a similar circumstance on Amazon. I'm trying to help others NOT have issues.

  • pwingert1966 Patrick Wingert (@pwingert1966) reported from Toronto, Ontario

    Someone hacked my eBay and tried to sell a high end microwave. eBay caught it and locked the account and PayPal down and out. Thanks eBay 🤪

  • ladybugsnsports Leanne Guerrero (@ladybugsnsports) reported from Plano, Texas

    We are down to the last 24 hrs to get your squares and Kylie is now 6 away from her goal!! If you would like to purchase one please let me know ASAP. Your 1 time donation and all Winnings can be sent by PayPal, Venmo or Zelle!

  • SphamandlaLive Sphamandla Gumede (@SphamandlaLive) reported from Westonaria, Gauteng

    @Ndamase_Siya Oh you should open an Global account since PayPal is a problem in South Africa. I only use PayPal to shop online

  • SaraC_x // sara // (@SaraC_x) reported from Garrane, Munster

    Might have my Apple Watch sold but I can’t remember my paypal login and can’t create a new one cause my IBAN is connected to an account already 🙂🙂🙂

  • bilbaggins26 David Watson (@bilbaggins26) reported from Cañon City, Colorado
