    @PayPal how can I change my number without logging in. My old number is inactive and security sms won’t go through to it so I can’t login to change my number.

  • Juliejw52 Julie Wilkes (@Juliejw52) reported

    @AskPayPal Hi, I can’t log in because you say you have sent an SMS and you haven’t. This was working till today. There is no SMS filter on my phone. Please fix this!

    PLEASE @PayPal @AskPayPal could you reply publicly indicating clearly whether the lack of SMS messages required for two factor authentication, currently preventing people from logging on, is a known issue or not.

  • thequacksoflife Pete Duxon (@thequacksoflife) reported

    @AskPayPal sent you a DM ..... Two factor authentication not working.....

  • ChrisJB1989 Christopher James #UseMyVoice X_X (@ChrisJB1989) reported

    I messaged him numerous times and received excuse after excuse. My eligibility to cancel with PayPal expired and now the artist refuses to respond back to me. What a terrible experience.

  • hillyc67 Hilary Candler (@hillyc67) reported

    Trying to place an order with @FatherSons_ and nothing but problems, now need @AskPayPal to help so I can order before the sales end

  • belarus_20 Andrew Slavin ✌🏼✊🏼❤️ (@belarus_20) reported

    @elfcosmetics 2 days I’m trying to place an order and still no luck! What’s going on? I tried all credit cards and PayPal and Apple Pay. Still there is an “error”. Seriously? There is so many other brands to buy. This is so frustrating

  • CaptainOctavia  Octavia  (@CaptainOctavia) reported

    @piratepeteshow @IGN @eBay eBay is very much a buyers market. If your buyer has even the slightest issue, like not reading a description properly they will just take the money out of your PayPal account without even giving you a chance to explain. You could buy a PS5 and take a picture a brick in the box

  • pix82692587 pix (@pix82692587) reported

    @AskPayPal please check dm and address my issue.

  • PuraVidaCrypto PuroV (@PuraVidaCrypto) reported

    @PeterSchiff A delusional old man. Can you not see the supply issue? There are 900 btc mined daily (about $17m value at current price). Paypal alone sucks this up in hours leaving nothing for anybody else, let alone Funds wanting to buy. Prices are going up on this factor alone

  • Scyllaya ♠ Éva (@Scyllaya) reported

    I cannot describe the frustration when PayPal just randomly decides that nah sms verification just won't work right now and you cannot get on touch with anyone to fix their ****. It was working 4 days ago, sort your crappy sms system out @AskPayPal.

  • Richard56516231 Richard Parker (@Richard56516231) reported

    @PayPal @AskPayPal @PayPalUK Is anyone going to respond to this or my DM? Btw also 2-step verification not working i.e. no code being sent to my phone so I can't log in.

  • shaycharles Shay Awogbile (@shaycharles) reported

    @PayPal Please respond to my DM as soon as possible. This is unbelievably terrible service. I can't send a message to you and I can't get anyone on the phone. I have to come to twitter to send you DMs. This is not cool.

  • Ruby_Louu Ruby Lou ✨ Bday 3rd Dec 🎂🥳 (@Ruby_Louu) reported

    Anyone else paypal 2 factor log in not working?

  • TayLucciano Sir Tay Mac (@TayLucciano) reported

    @FinishLine Checked out 15 times and kept getting error. PayPal kept getting notification of Payment. I got no confirm This some BS

  • streetcakemag streetcake magazine (@streetcakemag) reported

  • HimakoSano Hime (@HimakoSano) reported
