  • ibuildinternet Vic J. (@ibuildinternet) reported

    Hey @ThreeUK are you blocking @PayPalUK text messages by any chance? I don't seem to get my 2fa messages anymore? @PayPal are the 2fa issues still hanging? #paypal

  • ibuildinternet Vic J. (@ibuildinternet) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport I just get @PayPal 2fa issues.

  • squeekymouse89 squeekymouse89 (@squeekymouse89) reported

    @AskPayPal Hi both my wife and I have tried to login today on separate accounts and it seems your not sending out 2fa text messages to either account.

  • driftygal 🦀 magical icelandic crab 🦀 (@driftygal) reported

    Example: I sent money to a friend and either though user error or my browser refreshing (or something), I got charged a fee since it was marked G&S. I immediately called PayPal with the error, but the rep on the phone (very nice!) said she couldn't help.

  • peterlasagna Peter Lozano (@peterlasagna) reported

    @AskPayPal @PayPal Forced to reset my password but after numerous attempts (10+) continue to get the same error msg (something went wrong on our end, pls try again). Please advise.

  • SheenxSheen Sheena Rose (@SheenxSheen) reported

    @lvl80waifu Good luck! I had a PayPal for years too and they shut me down in 2014 and took $800 from me. And then 5 years later I opened up a new one and within months it was deleted again. Smh they hate us lol

  • MrBourner Mr Bourner (@MrBourner) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport @ibuildinternet Wierd that it's only three customers @ThreeUKSupport sounds more like a 3 problem than a PayPal problem. Maybe you could actually look into it for us...like give us some support?

  • naniplugin NANI Plugin by WXAudio (@naniplugin) reported

    UPDATES: 1) Our PayPal payment method is currently unavailable but card payment is still available. 2)There should be a bug fix update coming this week as well new plugin formats (32bit, vst)

  • ZeemexCustoms Zeemex Customs (@ZeemexCustoms) reported

    @AskPayPal Any word on when SMS 2FA will be fixed? Been unable to login for 2 days now and have things to pay for...

  • gwzcomps 🐮🐮🐮HappyCow Computing🐮🐮🐮 (@gwzcomps) reported

    @AskeBay They are always closed or having technical issues when I need help. Even during the height of the pandemic I was able to call PayPal's number because they valued me as a customer. I will try to get in contact, but I don't feel very confident I will get the support I need.

  • J_Brady93 James Brady (@J_Brady93) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport @MrBourner @ThreeUKSupport I am also having this exact same issue, locked out of my paypal account as my 3 phone number seems incapable of receiving paypal texts

  • Luiz0x29A Real AI (@Luiz0x29A) reported

    @mcclure111 accepting paypal is terrible, their tax are too high, then then the next second you see the same bullshit from traditional credit card companies. which is even worse, we don't want proof of work from them, we already believe in them by stake.

  • Succubits 🌸Bitty @ nothin but SK8🧠🐛 (@Succubits) reported

    Hey @PayPal is there some issues right now processing payments through bigcartel? cause it won't allow me to return to the merchant to finish and keeps saying generic error

  • ThreeUKSupport ThreeUKSupport (@ThreeUKSupport) reported

    @ibuildinternet If you're only having issues with PayPal, and any other 2FA texts are coming through then we'd recommend speaking to PayPal directly and they should be able to help. If it's only their texts, it sounds like an issues specific to them -Kim

  • LFCRulesOK Hiding for a while (@LFCRulesOK) reported

    @ArgosHelpers Hi, I have an issue with a PayPal payment via your app which failed but is still showing on my PayPal/CC as authorisation in progress. I retried the purchase via the website & credit card, and it worked. How can I get the PayPal pending payment cancelled please?

  • queenveej Fund My Business @TheQueendomBBTX (@queenveej) reported

    @Pearlofwisdommm I’ve never had a problem out of PayPal

  • DefiDiogenesYFI DefiDiogenes (@DefiDiogenesYFI) reported

    @HardCoreAds @1stCrassCitizen @zerohedge The fee issue wont last long imo and there are people who don't think that the fees are that bad especially those who have been in finance for years before Robhinhood and PayPal made services super cheap of near zero just to boost their network growth.

  • F1uffyMatt Matt Stephens (@F1uffyMatt) reported

    @PayPalUK @AskPayPal SMS 2fa has been broken all day and all you give is canned messages. Why aren't the messages arriving?

  • JohnnyPraize Johnny Praize (@JohnnyPraize) reported

    @MrBourner Hey Mr Bourner, we're not aware of any issues on our end and no other company has been impacted. We're asking customer to speak to PayPal as it looks to be a problem with only texts coming from them just now -Kim

  • pkgarvin Pam Garvin (@pkgarvin) reported
