    Anyone know why my PayPal g&s transaction is on hold?? I sold my tickets through that but haven’t received my money in my account yet. Has anyone else experienced this issue?? #hslottickets #HarryStyles #hslot

  • __notnA AOC stan account (@__notnA) reported

    @Phboy01 @includenull @CoinersTakingLs Because Paypal and your Bank control the process, and take a premium for the service. The selling point of NFTs (and crypto in general) is immutability. Nothing can be erased by the companies themselves, no server crash will delete data, etc. etc.

    @_DeepDarkAbyss_ yea i think im going to cancel it. i'm sure it'll seem scammy to dude who wanted item but hard pass on giving out ACH. FB has no problem using paypal for donations - should allow it for small transfers at least.

    @KihuBlue Lmao I’m having issues with my PayPal so I had to ask my non furry roommate to use his his so I could get the paw socks.

  • memesonly4m3 ... (@memesonly4m3) reported

    @pro_survivors An anti sent a bomb threat to someone, someone reported a zine as NSFW to paypal to shut it down, and someone showed a lolicon CSEM and didn’t think it was bad since he was “baiting” pedos with it

    @PayPalNews @PayPal I could be blind. Why is it 5% down after all the good news lol

  • murrlogic Murrlogic (@murrlogic) reported

    @Hoozuki012 This has been a problem for me since Friday Night. You wouldn't happen to be able to give me some advice on this would you Im looking into convincing other artists if they have Patreon if I can pay for their assignments that way since I guess that doesnt need Paypal.

  • TheCryptoMeeps ChefSteezy.eth (@TheCryptoMeeps) reported

    @KanaKemo @MrMooglyTV @veve_official All good. I’ll see how Pixar goes. The fact their app shits the bed is enough for actual AAA companies like AMEX or PayPal to have zero issue doing a chargeback with literal video/screenshots of the app ******* off or crashing. Worst case scenario I’ll be Force refunding.

    @symaticlol @RainzFTW_ did u fix ur paypal?

  • permanentnaps maddi (@permanentnaps) reported

    I've been trying to fix my @PayPal account limitation for weeks and customer service is awful.

  • bulbabenz フシギダーニャ (@bulbabenz) reported

    @Wise Thank you for information. So my problem still persist due to the need of wire payments...means a transaction lower than 7.5$ become useless. My core problem stem from my Paypal that will unable to hold balance or link to US bank account anymore.

    @unsettledSky @jedimarkus77 I rode PayPal into earnings with a large position like an idiot, drove my car through mountain, as soon as I got the internet back I was down 10 gs. I have put as insurance but it has to close the week below 222 forms to collect insurance. 😒

  • IvanTheK Ivan the K™ (@IvanTheK) reported

    Was Paypal trying to announce a Pinterest deal to cover-up organic growth issues? Second prize: Amazon deal.

  • moooofyy ・゚✧moofy ̖́- (@moooofyy) reported

    @nuttinonice Did PayPal specify what the freeze or lockout on the funds is due to, a violation of their terms or is it because a rise in account activity (ie excessive funds coming into the account) with no fulfillment being documented? Because the latter is somewhat easier to fix

  • babe_whiskey WhiskeyBabe (@babe_whiskey) reported

    I was asked for an update on my situation. Things have calmed down. I'll be returning home hopefully later today, depending on if I find gas money. I've had one person support me by sending what they could for help via PayPal and checking in and its been huge for me.♥︎

  • brad0war Brad0war (commissions open) (@brad0war) reported

    I just had a thought, my paypal has my real name on it. Do I have to change it to a business account to hide my name? And is that going to cause problems if I do NSFW commissions?

    @SpookieLee_ I eventually got everything back. I now protect myself with two way authentication on EVERYTHING ...every single login attempt must be approved. Everything is secured with my fingerprint rather than a PIN...I only use PayPal checkout on sites

    @9uada1upe @kidbarrio @safemoon What problem are you having? Is it purchasing BNB and you can't use your credit cards? What I've read somewhere is use PayPal that is linked to your account.

    @Malwarebytes disgusting! I turned off my auto renewal last year and turned you off in PayPal and on your site, yet here you are, charging me again. And when I log in to turn off auto renewal, which has mysteriously been turned back on, your site errors EVERY TIME. Pure thievery
