🐺 Athena 🐺 HATSUKOI nov 14/15 mesa 102! 🐾 (@HungryAthena) reported@mylifeisan3Rr0r Some people that have had this problem have tried on another device and it usually solves it! I would try making Paypal account if that doesn't work
-
🇵🇪 Andino Skb 🎉 COMMS OPEN (3/10) 🎊 (@Andino_SKB) reported@fsonic3 In addition to legal issues, PayPal doesn't assist its users, yet supposedly demands compliance. The blocking is actually due to "traffic," or rather, bank transactions that the AI flags as false positives for fraud, leading to account blocks
-
Erasmus "Phase Shift" Belial (@ErasmusBelial) reported@horseshoecraben @goatcel or use it to offset the purchases you need to make, like gas, amazon bs etc. its either that or dabble in crypto. you gotta handle taxes how you see fit with any route you take, but yeah, keeping any significant amount of money in paypal is a terrible idea.
-
Colt (@FluffyBlitzy) reported@goatcel Yeah you can with gcash but you're still gonna end up with the same problem cause it's also like PayPal. They should've just put the money in a physical bank or at the very least an online one
-
horseguy (@dekuscrubmike) reportedThe other issue is some places requirw a business permit for the business account which costs money & physical addresses. I think it typically can be solved via doing invoices.. But that is also a hassle because you also need to be extra specific or Paypal gets angry too.

NOMINALO (@NOMINALOEQUITY) reportedTelegram has 950M users and zero public reputation system. X has a fraction of that and something Telegram can't build: a feed where trust is visible. Here's the part most people miss about X Money. It's not a wallet feature bolted onto a social app. It's the final piece of a 3-step funnel X has been building for years: attention, then reputation, then now, money. A bank meets you at step 3. You've already decided. You're already holding your card. The bank just processes it. X wants step 1. The post. The reply that made you nod. The 18 months of someone posting trade calls in public, right and wrong, before you ever send them a dollar. That's a different business than PayPal. PayPal moves money between strangers. X wants to move money between people who've already built trust, in public, for free, over time. Every bank in the world solved the wrong problem. They made moving money easy. Nobody sends money to a stranger because it's easy. They send it to someone they've watched for a year.

Unclejonbridomous (@mrmrmoneyman) reported@Viggie_Smalls93 When I’m doing the online Christmas shopping. I’ve done the intrest free payments through PayPal. I thought there was an angle because there was 0 interest, just equal payments broken up over time. I still think it’s a scam? I guess they make their money if you miss payments?
-
Luther Vandraws (@FaisonctArt) reportedOh this had been an issue for years, and it’s not just for the lack of business permit. I think I’ve only seen one case where the person was able to get access back to their money. Also stop using PayPal as a temporary bank.
-
🌟🌌Yushy Norev🌌🌟 (@YushyNorev) reportedI’m not sure whether this is a PayPal system error or whether someone is trying to buy something from me but can’t.
-
Koshin Jabarti 🇵🇸 (@DirieKoshin) reported@BlindWaveCrew hey i have trouble paying beyond with paypal
-
SunlightSeeker(comms open again) (@SeekingSolar) reported@explosiveorenji Dang. I use PayPal, I can only hope they dont shut me down, but at least I only really use it as a go-between
-
aegon (@aegonfurball) reported@kodi_lion After waiting years and being out hundreds of dollars from an artist, I've explicitly told commed only will pay via protected platforms (like PayPal), and if I don't get progress / responses around the 6 month mark I'll do a chargeback (chargeback window). No more issues.
-
P3 🇵🇷 (@p3ashooter025_) reported@Frosty_Neo1 Apparently paypal is taking down art accounts for no reason, it was the same issue a few months back
-
B U N N Y (@bunnyghost9) reported@glubo11 Yeah that's my biggest problem with posts like that, they looove complain but don't offer any kind of help or alternative for artists who rely on paypal "DON'T USE PAYPAL!!!" ok ***** then show me an alternative that's available in Venezuela
-
Lara Jenn 🐦⬛ (@_LaraJenn) reportedI'm not defending PayPal because I hate it with all my might and I'm forced to use it, but if you have a business account without a permit and you earn above the roof, it's kind of "duh" that your account is going to get down. Anyway, I'm so sorry for you loss :(
-
pinkplasticfangs (@pnkplasticfangs) reported@SolariaWrites if you're referring to the unlicensed thing, fair. i only cite it bc its applicable specifically to how paypal treats things. normally i don't care, but a ban is a lifetime ban using ur ssn/equivalent, shutting down ur international trade options. this is just preventative info
-
Yukari 🍞🏳️⚧️ (@yukari_bun) reported@Lucyferia_ @AskPayPal How did this problem get solved?
-
BananaHater (@BananaShagnus) reportedI have been using paypal for almost 10 years and not once did I have these issues. Inform yourself on your country's laws and the TOS
-
Cliff Ogega (@HacksawX0) reported@AskPayPal Why do you think I'm reaching out via X. I hate social media but this is what push comes to shove means. I have already provided details for many days and yet the issue remains unresolved
-
yekkusu.bsky.social (@yekkusu) reportedUnderstandable? Sure. However: wishing your governemnt would do anything to control PayPal when PayPal itself as being a huge issue with anything NSFW recently even ******* the whole itchio site for example? Right now you're being held hostage and your choice is accept or move.
-
Maidoo (@NotAMinuteMaid) reportedLmao. Have same problem but after payment for an asset 👌👌 thanks God I not use PayPal as Bank.
-
Ermagire 🌺🔪 (@Ermagire) reportedI have a business permit and I have no issues with PayPal so far 🤔 Also, artists need to have business permits to not get in trouble legally
-
Natsurado (@Natsurado) reporteddo i think that the PayPal has a concerning growing problem of the censorship of enshittification?
-
Mike (@MikeTu4k) reported@NamesakeGeodite So the issue is with the business account itself? I am so confused right now. Paypal will block you if you conduct BUSINESS through a personal account. But if your business doesn't align with their Terms - you are banned?
-
LicoMeow (@LicoMeow) reported@Zmeinir Their update is tedious sometimes, but so far i have had 0 problem with paypal. They do email me at one point before IF im selling a product - please make the account business. Which is did. Idk why you dont want to do so? You can create business invoice, and allow tips etc.
-
F-Sonic (@fsonic3) reported@Andino_SKB I meant keeping it in there like it's a bank account, if you use PayPal it's common Knowledge that you move what's in there into your bank asap because of these issues.
-
Rubyfabstore🆑 (@beauty_rubby) reported@Onlgig If you don't have PayPal How can I get a paypal account I have tried but is not working
-
chives 🖤🥟 (@chvtf143) reportedgood morning 🥺 anyone here knows what app is suitable to replacing paypal. i have been seeing so much issue about the app and also the fee is crazy.....🥲🥲
-
Kamz | COMMISSIONS OPEN 🇨🇴🏳️🌈 (@PeppermintKamz) reportedThe only other issue I’ve ever had was validating my address, but that was an easy fix too. Just remember PayPal only accepts pictures of physicsl documents.
-
Dylan Burnette (@DylanBurnette) reported@NamesakeGeodite Are you accepting it as friends and family? I’ve had PayPal for like 9 years did hundred of thousands of dollars in transactions and have had zero issues. Maybe a few limitations where I call and it gets fixed.
