  @EASPORTSFC I tried so many times to order for Playstation and it always fails. No error given. Tried multiple devices and multiple cards/PayPal. Sony is a hot mess.

  @maruya8008135 The problem is that you can only pay in ko-fi though PayPal

  @Adiofreak I understand your situation but some of the paypal hate is so forced. Like my coworker had issues because he didn't pay the whole bill and after some time (like 2 years idk) they closed his account and this clown is still crying about it today. Like bruh you made the mistake

  @HydrogenIsOne If you can do Venmo I am down, you should be able to send it through Paypal to Venmo if you have done that before

  @gmille24 @yElff_ @BookitWithTrent "Helpful" as in its easier to deposit into accounts, my bank gives me issues with doing it directly and have to occasionally do thru Venmo/PayPal. Much much easier

  My PayPal account has been receiving penny donations every day 20 times a day for over a year now from random accounts that I assume had their accounts stolen. I contacted PayPal multiple times to which they told me “we are aware, just do nothing” They then locked my account, I had to prove it was me not stealing money by providing info I shouldn’t have had to provide. I got that resolved. Today my account was permanently disabled due to the fraud that I reported numerous times to which they say I can’t appeal. TLDR: I report issue to PayPal, they fix nothing, they ban my account. What a dogshit company. Absolute scum of the earth.

  @High_Impact_67 It wasn’t a misdirected payment, it was an exchange rate correction. I originally sent someone in Norway $100. The PayPal exchange rate for the Norwegian Kroner was messed up that day. They charged my account $5,000 instead of $100. They corrected it 3 weeks later crediting my account and making me whole. Then two months later they corrected it again in error giving me $5,000 that wasn’t mine.

  Update: After my tweet, and after he tried to convince whoever commented on his post to side with him, I sent him a message. He replied with this, then stopped responding altogether. Today, he filed three more claims with @PayPal . I still can't use my account normally because of this situation, and he has simply gone silent. Honestly, I’m fed up; it’s exhausting, especially since I shouldn't even have to be wasting my time posting this or dealing with this issue in the first place

  @Safaricom_Care Hi , The M-PESA app threw a 'not working currently ' error during PayPal top-up. The money left my account, but I never got the Thunes confirmation text. The transaction code is UHROP40V3C. Kindly assist.

  @MarrieyJefyc No I don't. I'm sorry it's giving you an issue. I had someone give a small donation just fine via PayPal.

  @RMMoonchild101 I need the PayPal information. I emailed the OP but haven’t gotten a response. I’m in the US so I’m not sure if that’s the issue. 🥺

  @petalvenue hii ⭐ if you can't find a ga and you'd be interested in an upper bowl let me know! I have PayPal and I'd be down for a video call for proof :)

  @AndrewPerpetua Yeah, if you ever get an e-mail like this for an online account, or your bank or something (I get them for PayPal all the time, despite not even having a PayPal account), ALWAYS log into the actual service to check if there is actually an issue. Never use links in e-mails.

  i finally figured out the stupid issue with paypal! they have 2 different address sections. your address on your account is not the same as your addresses on the express checkout page when you're buying something. i finally deleted the "preferred" address with my name backwards..

  @SuzunaTsukimi Yeah, there have been multiple issues with this, I’m not sure if it’s a Kofi thing or PayPal. It’s always been there on my end but others were unable to see the option for PayPal, it only showed credit/debit card option. It most likely will only show that now.

  @Novanoodle5165 @CashApp Glad it got resolved and sounds like just an error at least. Given my PayPal experience I'd still be sceptical personally

  the asian sounding woman with kids screaming in the background says she can't fix my issue with my name and that it's the merchant's settings that cause the problem. does anyone else get stuff addressed like "surname, lastname" when checking out with paypal?

  @rays_in_bahrain Yeah I have gotten tickets from people on this app before and haven’t had any issues yet luckily!! paypal goods and services is the only way to go for this tho. It backs you up and will protect your money if you don’t get tickets. Anyone who doesn’t want to use it is 100% a scammer

  @wehsturn I think you can issue a refund if u paid through PayPal on ko-fi. I hope you can get it back because this is soooo messed up
