    @drrollergator Tell us something he DOESN'T know. Like your Paypal sign in.

  • PaulRadomskij Paul Radomskij (@PaulRadomskij) reported

    @thefallguyUK @acpivr I would love to join as an associate member but can you use any of the old fashioned techniques like cheques or bank transfer? I have had so many issues with PayPal and do not have an account.

  • Bonnettii David Gomez (@Bonnettii) reported

    @Nyambur88354326 @PayPal Sorry about that, I had similar issues but it was resolved through the help of lenoz_bank on Instagram

  • Pepper875 Pepper87 (@Pepper875) reported

    $pypl PayPal was down long before the announce buy of $pins. I just don’t know why when they will kill it with fees from Bitcoin $BTC transactions. So attractive right now.

  • Kani197 Kani@19 (@Kani197) reported

    @AskPayPal your customer service is really bad. Its bern hours since I posted my issue but it hasnt been resolved yet. Extremely dossapointed.

  • IamAndreSousa André Sousa (@IamAndreSousa) reported

    If @PayPal wants to get into e-commerce, they should by @Etsy, not @Pinterest. Half the price and a positive EBITDA. Problem sorted.

  • gregslim Memphis Bleek Truther (@gregslim) reported

    @morbuxx Paypal is terrible g, get your money out of there asap and never look back lbs

  • thespinzone Lauren Joffe (@thespinzone) reported

    Ok. I’m willing to Venmo/PayPal $100 to ANYONE who can put me in touch with a real live @twittersupport @twitter person there to help me with an issue that SHOULDN’T BE THAT MAJOR. $100. Yours. Anyone?

  • glassbottommeg Megan Fox (🛹🐦 OUT NOW) (@glassbottommeg) reported

    I think I'm gonna strangle every single person who ever recommended QuickBooks to me. It appears to have added my two PayPal accounts as entirely different types of accounts. The add-account flow just, changed, after the first one. And I can't fix the first one. Uh.

  • bernardgolden Bernard Golden (@bernardgolden) reported

    @PayPal your 'let's confirm who you are' functionality doesn't send a text to my phone and won't accept keypad input when it calls. This sucks. Please fix asap.

  • Bonnettii David Gomez (@Bonnettii) reported

    @angremlin @PayPal Sorry about that, I had similar issues but it was resolved through the help of lenoz_bank on Instagram

  • WaxPackBacks B-Stro (@WaxPackBacks) reported

    @ClockworkedCard @CardPurchaser PayPal. Easy, reliable, have not had a problem so far.

  • kshahi Hunting4MoreBioBags (@kshahi) reported

    @skaushi May still go down if PayPal revalues it’s commitment

  • vmimbff (@vmimbff) reported

    @Jeongieki @jurriimy i used paypal f&f😭 ive bought soo many bts tickets throughout the years with no issue using f&f until today😬 i still filed a claim with paypal and my bank though !

  • MarxmenMilton Marcus Møller Thrane 🏴🇳🇴 (@MarxmenMilton) reported

    @markabrego113 Scooped up some Snapchat on this earnings down 25 percent and will bounce to 62 ez. Bought some PayPal end of day down 20 percent past three months off news.

  • Kythra2 Kythra (@Kythra2) reported

    PayPal decided to cooperate with the Dcma. Bitcoin literally cannot. No one owns it or controls the protocols and no one can shut a transaction down which means that if I want to donate to a pirate enabling website that doesn’t respect the rightsholders then noone can censor that

  • rubbinizracin Let The Cards Fly!!! (@rubbinizracin) reported

    @ClockworkedCard @CardPurchaser Who lost their PayPal account also use cash app. Generally, my recommendation is to accept multiple payment sources to appeal to broadest audience. Also, because PayPal likes to shut down hobbyists you’ll need multiple.

  • samcd84 Sam McDonnell (@samcd84) reported

    @TRiCKETTengland I’ve been done over by PayPal tonight. Put me down for the re-up #gutted

  • e85f44580e0846f GANGADHAR V (@e85f44580e0846f) reported

    @PayPalUK there is no way to login and reach out paypal customer care if mobile number is changed. and to reach out to customer care there is no option to use other country mobile. How should people reach you who moved out of UK to India?

  • StreetPsych_ Jesse (@StreetPsych_) reported

    Don’t usually doing this but entering a swing trade with PayPal ( $PYPL ) Previously owned the stock and exited at $277.08 for $SQ I think the stock is unfairly beaten down Worst case scenario I just go back to owning a stock I already liked and don’t mind holding long term

  • TYevin23 theRealYevin23 (@TYevin23) reported

    @Jake_Randall_YT Jake, when you choose to use PayPal at Target, does it make you sign into your PayPal? The last 3 drops it's made me put in my CVV code for my card and it would error out. Trying a different approach here with PayPal. I know seconds count, so not sure how PayPal works.

  • mholt6 🧗‍♂️ Matt Holt (@mholt6) reported

    @mdhardeman @bowdie This can be a problem on, say, payment processors like @AskPayPal, where 2FA blocks you out of receiving payments intended for you. Someone can steal your money that way. 😬

  • scrulb Selena Thompson (@scrulb) reported

    @CherylLCreative Well, I prefer to do split Payments if my client's are having financial issues or they are uncomfortable, However, There are some who put dispute on my PayPal even after getting final files. And after I lost my account, people stopped commissioning me. :(

  • Hungerlust1 Pops *ᵗʰᵉʸ'ᵗʰᵉᵐ* 𝓴𝓰 𝓮𝓻𝓪 (@Hungerlust1) reported

    shook pretty bad whenever I hear it or see it written down. Also I don't remember if this was the issue with PayPal, but I don't want to to that face thing or that picture of an ID thing to identify myself.

  • whereisourtent 👻 zach watson 🎃 (@whereisourtent) reported

    @kalinapierga to be fair I just saw a Tik Tok from a Northwestern student whose PayPal account got shut down because they ordered hundreds of dollars of DoorDash a week so I guess the expectation is we can all afford this

    @garyblack00 PayPal just loves to acquire companies now. Not a shareholder for a while but I agree this deal is a terrible acquisition if true.

    I took down the PayPal link I was already getting hate, people screaming and upset had to block one person and I want you to know if you donated I will send it back to you, just DM me let me know which one name it is and I'll toss it back. like I said this was a test
