    Hey @Google. I bought a new #Pixel6. Since that day my Wallet status was switched to closed. @Paypal can't help. The phone lost connection all the time and i sent it back (DOA). You support sends me tipps like reboot the phone and clear the cache. German support is down. Help!

  • Claret_perth Clare Thompson ☀️☀️ (@Claret_perth) reported from Westfield, State of Western Australia

    @NC_Robinson @NeilMcMahon I’ve been cleaning out husband’s who mainly used PayPal. Trouble I’m having is working out what’s what, ie, what are they for.

  • Papa_Scion ysr_scion (@Papa_Scion) reported

    @PayPal You did not address my issue. Kindly @PayPal

  • community_fsub FDomCommunityPig (@community_fsub) reported

    @xGoddessxAlex ******* are you okay ? I knew there was a reason I gave you a wide birth when we first chatted. I told you I had problems with my PayPal - now you’ve gone and created a **** storm for what reason !

  • HannahRAWRRRR Hannah⁷ (@HannahRAWRRRR) reported

    @AoiCutieshy I don’t think it can hurt to try and message them. Worse comes to worse you go nuclear and file a case with PayPal. Overall the OT7 fofo manufacturing was botched badly. I’ve heard of so many people having issues. Crossed fingers for Taetae!

  • _kara_c_ Kara Chapman (@_kara_c_) reported

    @snowphieee @PayPal I'm trying to calm down and will then call my bank again. They'd already issued a stop payment on all PayPal purchases (which is a MASSIVE pain because every subscription we have goes through PP). The fact that PP still pulled money despite the stop payment is atrocious

  • Bilious_Dirge Bilious Dirge (@Bilious_Dirge) reported

    I started getting a ton of SMS e-mails (ie, messages received as texts but sent through/by an e-mail server) about my Apple, PayPal, & Amazon accounts. I've never used any of these services. Correlation isn't causation, but this again times up with my having to go to court again.

  • TylerSchapley Tyler Schapley (@TylerSchapley) reported

    @PayPal has perhaps the worst customer service I’ve ever dealt with. I’ve been at it for two days now.I’ve been promised calls back I’ve never received, it takes hours just to get a hold of someone, and when you do, they don’t actually solve the problem. Sad!

  • SunnyGlynn Sunny Crockett (@SunnyGlynn) reported

    Yooooooo Anyone else having issues with @PayPal today. Cause like, I can't change my password, and I need to, and the app keeps telling me they can't send any email....

  • Daniell32860053 Danielle S. (@Daniell32860053) reported

    Do not use @PayPal for anything. These companies will take your money and deny you access to it. Days of issues. Account closed forever. Never again

  • pyurhan FREAK *ೃ (@pyurhan) reported

    @satyromI3 my phone is also broken and idk how id transfer paypal funds directly to my card. i also dont like it cuz of my deadname

  • yakkunaoislave Alldat Terryiaki (@yakkunaoislave) reported

    @Rama_el_ligre I don't even need to close my eyes to not see such. Not using a PayPal Business account is asking for trouble and privacy concerns.

  • DyreOwed Milo - Sonoza Enjoyer (@DyreOwed) reported

    also when i tried to translate it it auto pulled up a redit thread from like 5 years ago saying they had nearly the exact same canceled order problem i had and that their paypal system is busted so this is just. an issue

  • tiredmothgoth . (@tiredmothgoth) reported

    Only fans is giving me so many issues aaaah I use PayPal in the meanwhile:-)) #nsfwtwt

  • JoseeHMillette Josee H. Millette (@JoseeHMillette) reported

    @bohn_chauvi @SW_Celebration I also had the error with the system not accepting PayPal 🙃 So I had to cancel my order and restart using a credit card 😠

  • ChristyParks420 New year, same 💩. Still need help on #ODSPoverty (@ChristyParks420) reported

    @SirDecka And this is y for certain reasons I'm happy Cashapp is US only, and stick with PayPal. Never had an issue with PayPal at all for anything. 😜

  • Stea1thyPick1e Stea1thyPick1e (@Stea1thyPick1e) reported

    @9NewsAUS We're still missing $1000 after fiances PayPal got hacked and bought $1000 of stuff on ebay. PayPal says its a bank issue, bank says its an eBay issue and eBay says it's a PayPal issue. Fought for months and never got any back. Its obviously not 18 mill but 1k is a lot for us.

  • travisknoll Travis Knoll (@travisknoll) reported

    @meijer why is there an error when i use my PayPal Prepaid Debit Mastercard as a payment method for delivery? I have enough funds to cover my purchases.

  • ItsBklynJones Brooklyn Jones (@ItsBklynJones) reported

    Hey @eBay I’m having trouble with my account and y’all are messing with my money. I’ve never had this much trouble getting paid! You should have just left this to paypal!!!!🤭

  • degen13688746 Malcolm (@degen13688746) reported

    @BligheDerek Derek, I think your PayPal link is broken

  • not__your_waifu プリス ✌ (@not__your_waifu) reported

    @Dillards you canceled my online order Because it was not an American card, even though I made the purchase via PayPal. Still haven't got any of my money back. I'm never shopping at dillards again, not in a store, and not ever online. Terrible.

  • SoCaliBro William Stanton (@SoCaliBro) reported

    @giftlovej it would be great if you did, I think both of mine are broken. @realwillstanton is my paypal and $stantoncreators is my cashapp

  • TylerSchapley Tyler Schapley (@TylerSchapley) reported

    @PayPal has perhaps the WORST #CustomerService I’ve ever had! It takes over an hour to get a hold of someone. When you finally talk to someone, they don’t resolve the issue. Then they promise they’ll call you back and just don’t. An absolutely terrible #customerexperience!

  • Vinny_K321 Vinny (@Vinny_K321) reported

    @AskPayPal I am appalled at your customer service team. Someone created a fake PayPal account with my email and is sending fake invoices yet @PayPal is doing NOTHING to shut the account down. They said the “back office” deals with this but they can’t provide a phone # to call!

  • ariellovesbread Ariel (@ariellovesbread) reported

    Maybe my case is different but Every time I called PayPal, it usually resolved the issue at hand None of the emailing or online chat bs Holds, restricted account, etc

  • 1080stunts 1080stunts (@1080stunts) reported

    @PayPal credit . Why are ALL of your internet transactions failing? I don’t have time to be on hold with someone. Wake up your devs and fix your site
