    @RebelNewsOnline @Memyselfandvan Had the same problem with Code of Vets. PayPal put my transaction on home for two days " for security issues". Then honored it.

  • bibneyy bibney (@bibneyy) reported

    paypal is a broken ******* mess.

  • listenertoyou bdt (@listenertoyou) reported

    Now they have delivery problems etc . I wasn't that shocked when I read about SolarWinds or the Microsoft vulnerability. Except for a PayPal phishing attempt this is the first time I'm taking a hack personally. Give me back my Açai!

  • chetmanily Chetmanily (@chetmanily) reported

    @PayPalNews @PayPal PayPal is a terrible company. They ban me from my account while I'm away on military orders and now they won't delete my PII from your servers. FORCING me to be a victim of your constant data breaches. #PayPal sucks #deletepaypal

  • RevsJr Jon Revs / sally Revs (@RevsJr) reported

    Just a follow up this tweet I’ve had to bend over backwards to get the PayPal account open again and it’s down to people leaving messages in the comments apparently we are breaking every rule in the book it’s down to you are not purchasing a item thanks for understanding

  • creativeesc Emily ♻️✨ (@creativeesc) reported

    I just wanna order some ******! Trying to checkout on Aerie and between items I’ve selected suddenly selling out & some PayPal error, I can’t checkout. I just wanted to order something nice for myself.

  • fields Adam Fields (@fields) reported

    @brentsimmons I don’t know why they’re not focusing on that the system you describe was terrible from the user side. People hate filling in fussy forms with the same info over and over again. It’s why Amazon and PayPal are also popular. Replacing that with one button press _is_ transformative.

  • acezkdlin kc 开 (@acezkdlin) reported

    why is my paypal not working i need to vote for amnesia

  • thecorner201 thecorner201 (@thecorner201) reported

    @AskPayPal I recently did a transfer of 2x 50 euro's over to my paypal account. My bank account say's it's been transferred but it hasn't arrived on my paypal wallet yet ? And it usualy is instant. Are the servers having trouble or is my money just gone ?

  • willemwigman willem wigman (@willemwigman) reported

    TIL my disliking towards @PayPal is mutual. Signed up yesterday. Then it took a whopping 6 hours until they froze the first transaction for @hyva_io and 12 hours to give notice they will shut the whole account down. Reason? None given.

  • pkaprv 🌿💜 (@pkaprv) reported

    anyway. aside from losing my entire bank account to moving costs and paypal scammery ive been doing well and life is settling down so i can finally get back to art!!!!!!!!! i miss andreil 😞

  • NerdyMochaDoc Symone Stan Acct (@NerdyMochaDoc) reported

    Paypal credit will really get you into trouble if you're not paying attention. At least my balance is half way down🥴

  • KayworxX Kaylee Claire 🌈 Art Raffle!! (@KayworxX) reported

    And the jist of both these issues is people having their private information sent to people it shouldn't be sent to, and you being liable to have your account (Twitter or PayPal) being suspended for no fault of your own. Both issues are completely unacceptable @TwitterSupport

  • tnpatl TNP ATL ♉ ✊🏾🖤✊🏾🖤🏀🏈 (@tnpatl) reported

    I don't use cashapp, or PayPal. If I can't Zelle funds to the person I'm transacting with? Oh well. I've had no issues using Zelle at all. I have had issues with PayPal!!

  • lomlninibear kaye🧡🐻 | ia (@lomlninibear) reported

    After several tries of attempting to pay for my ride or die votess. I gave up. WHY IS PAYPAL NOT WORKING FOR MEEEE

  • primpraem 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘮 ꪔ̤̮ (@primpraem) reported

    attention due to lack of interest and issues with paypal i can’t be arsed to fix i’m closing my barely 24 hours of open commissions lmao everyone go back to ignoring me

  • ASRomaEN AS Roma English (@ASRomaEN) reported

    For those who have experienced issues purchasing via Paypal: the payment authorisations will all be cancelled within the next few hours and you will not be charged any fees. Payments made via credit card should go through without problems. We apologise for the inconvenience.

  • DaveTubes David Tube (@DaveTubes) reported

    Hi @WestMidRailway I've tried to book tickets on your website and after filling in my payment info and clicking "buy" it just reloads the payment details page. No confirmation message or error message. Have tried with card and paypal. Same result.

  • ruthmills Ruth Mills #FBPE (@ruthmills) reported

    @StarlingBank FYI - the PayPal integration directly from my phone looks broken too. PayPal complains of an error, and I also get an error in the Starling app when I try and delete the PayPal integration on the marketplace tab (I was going to delete it and try again).

  • Coupl3sParadis3 Couple's Paradise (@Coupl3sParadis3) reported

    We are currently experiencing issues accepting PayPal payments, therefore please select Credit Card Payment or Cash on Delivery when checking out.

  • ekmokaya Erick Mokaya (@ekmokaya) reported

    "....when was the last time [Visa] had an outage? Twitter has their Fail Whale and PayPal goes down and eBay goes down and Amazon goes down and then Netflix goes down, but Visa and MasterCard do not go down. It's pretty remarkable that they've been able to pull that off"

  • MolloyLaurence Laurence Molloy (@MolloyLaurence) reported

    @tanurai @TheArduinoGuy @EwinRacing Sadly it was Paypal via debit card. Paypal rejected my claim as it was a "warranty issue" RBS (card issuer) were willing to consider my case and came to the same conclusion.

    another example of my own inventive problem: > i have no money to buy kiara's membership > i now have money in my paypal acc another problem: > you cannot use paypal for google pay in malaysia bcuz malaysia > i need to have a debit card > suffer > malaysia

  • marymoiraowen maryowen (@marymoiraowen) reported

    @byoblu Impossible to watch, join the byoblu login page - I made a donation, promised a subscription with paypal, then it keeps telling me my name, my password etc is wrong... wtf?

  • gunssupreme Sneakers_Apparel_and_More (@gunssupreme) reported

    @bigwerms I don’t see a problem with this. Seller has to deal with everything with PayPal come tax time. Could be trying to avoid that

  • pocs80 Jutta Streicher (@pocs80) reported

    @QuirkyCat3 @kabali_brian Yes, everyone can donate, but I am currently having problems registering with XOOM / PayPal, because for technical reasons I do not receive the authentication code, and without it I have no further access to the Xoom / PayPal account. Will be checked.

  • awwwnchal Aanchal Agrawal (@awwwnchal) reported

    @varunduggi I set up paypal but it’s not letting people send money, some technical glitch may be.

  • lil_brown_bat myotis myotis (@lil_brown_bat) reported

    @CompletelyNobo1 @TheWigglyPlant I believe there are time limits on payment disputes, so keep that in mind. Perhaps reach out to PayPal support to find out the details of how to resolve issues.
