  • RalphLloyd12 Ralph Lloyd (@RalphLloyd12) reported

    @MissGlamzon @AmericanExpress I have a serve account and since their new app came out I cannot login. I can login online but still cannot do anything. So I switched my direct deposit to PayPal as they are allot easier to deal with and have better service

  • DanielleDwyerTV Danielle Dwyer (@DanielleDwyerTV) reported

    @AskPayPal The wait time isn’t the problem. It’s the call without a rep on the other end that is the problem

    @SamPrimmO_O @Little_Splashy sign in on your paypal, click the settings gear, click payments, click manage payments, remove playstation, wont auto renew but itll still be linked but i think they would have to enter password again to use the auto renew feature, especially if you change the password also

    @USARMYFUNDS Unfortunately paypal is not working in my country. But I wanna contribute so bad😞 I like stationhead’s tip option. If you ever decide to have a streaming party, people in my situation can send tips there and you can use them.🥲

  • wildgirlyonder Kimberly Nish (@wildgirlyonder) reported

    So I bought a Rug called Havana Outdoors from @Ruggable and used @PayPal to pay. @PayPal has FROZEN my account for SELLING items from Cuba. The fact that they can’t tell if money is coming in or going out is a problem.

  • Gingerdolly Jane (@Gingerdolly) reported

    @JamesHunt Meanwhile I'm £700 down and without a settee or delivery date. I'm praying PayPal refund or I'm screwed.

  • RightHandZero Insomniac GM (@RightHandZero) reported

    @IHeartFargo @rolimllucas @chiquitafajita_ It was a paypal processing error. But it's only a couple of bucks.

  • DanielleDwyerTV Danielle Dwyer (@DanielleDwyerTV) reported

    So is @PayPal having customer service issues. Got a suspicious email about my account, which I haven’t used in years. Didn’t click anything. Called customer service, did the “we’ll call you back option” every call says “this page doesn’t exist”. Waited for a rep, the call drop

  • Anthorn_Kewl Anthony 🇬🇧 🔥 🇬🇧 Buy British 🇬🇧 (@Anthorn_Kewl) reported

    Just installed @MozillaVpn on my Windows 10 laptop. So far so good. No problems. Around half the cost of my current VPN at $4.99 per month which translates to £3.69 per month with Paypal. Log in with a Firefox account or register for a Firefox account.

  • thorble Thorble (@thorble) reported

    @jimcramer The heavy shorting of HMBL stock.....I believe Humbl's largest competitors (Paypal, SQ, etc) are trying to hold the digital wallet company down. Your Paypal interview in Feb discussed a 5 yr timeline that HUMBL CEO Brian Foote is already bringing to fruition.
