    @ColourPopCo I am about to pay with PayPal but there is always an error message saying my phone number is not valid ! I have a french number, what am I supposed to do ?

  • Lord_Sealy Garbahey's Simp 🦭 (@Lord_Sealy) reported

    @garbahey I needed to fix my PayPal for other reasons tho so it's also a fat L but still.

  • narrowistheeway Narrow Is The Way (@narrowistheeway) reported

    @chelsaywhaaaat @Vigilant_ That happened to me on Walmart. PayPal checkout is just too slow.

  • DailyVentiPics daily Venti // giveaway pinned (@DailyVentiPics) reported

    @standiluc i can either send money through venmo/paypal or log in. if people choose the login option I can screen record or do a call so you can see I'm not doing anything weird and I log directly out

  • Gilastrud01 Jennifer Michel (@Gilastrud01) reported

    @AskeBay Ebay’s new payout method is the worst, 5+ days to receive payment?! I can care less about PayPal, but not allowing sellers to add debit cards for direct payment; like MERCARI and others it’s just terrible business.

  • alchevi1 haru | rosé solo enthusiast (@alchevi1) reported

    @___0xaca im talking to my dad when he comes home, but for now i'm gonna talk w him on making a paypal account so i can either buy a new phone or fix it

  • KellyMartin_UK Kelly Martin Speaks (same on GAB & MeWe) (@KellyMartin_UK) reported

    Looking at the Home Office spend sheet. The amount they spend on ergonomic office chairs etc... Most people can't afford the really good ergonomic equipment, but no problem tax payers can fund them. And saw a racing amount on paypal?!

  • tkafitz09 42OG~Fitz🎮💨 (@tkafitz09) reported

    @xXJoseph2014Xx What’s your PayPal? let me fix that for you!

  • swtangie05 Angie Pedroza (@swtangie05) reported

    @JOSHIZABEAST3 @mattswider @techradar You see, people keep saying that and its true thats your best bet because I had it in my cart and got to the payment section on PayPal. But no one tells you what to do once it says "no location near you has any" .. what do you do then? Because thats my issue 😑

  • RadRedhead222 Stacy Lynn Bennett (@RadRedhead222) reported

    9 days later and @PayPal and @AskPayPal still haven’t given my money back, even tho they know the money went to a PayPal cash card, which I don’t have, and they know the last 4 digits. It’s now a @sheetz problem. I think my cash is just GONE. I can’t take this kind of loss 🥺

  • dochimochi_13 🍀lucky mochi⁷🍀|🍀pickaw🍀|picknava🍀😊 (@dochimochi_13) reported

    I have now trust wallet and PayPal, but the problem is no money

  • swtangie05 Angie Pedroza (@swtangie05) reported

    @sadhourglass @mattswider @techradar I have the same issue! I had one in my cart and got to the check out section on PayPal and ofcourse no location near me had any available. I'm so sick of this. I get so close every time and its always the same result.

  • ShinobiHaruka Shinobis wear their masks (@ShinobiHaruka) reported

    @AskPayPal I’m having issues where I can’t chose which account I pay recurring subscriptions with. It is not going to my preferred payment method. When I try to change, it says it cannot be done at this time. Help?

  • Cecalli_Helper The Ghost of Dr Carl Jensen (@Cecalli_Helper) reported

    So, @Netflix - yr service representatives said 1. Yes we stopped using itunes payment system 2. You can use PayPal, but, no thst isn't correct, either 3. The issue is with my bank, so, thanks for your time & @iTunes - never mind For all banks - Why can't you let us choose?

  • baroquemonster ⚜ ɟI ssᴉW ⚜ Irene (@baroquemonster) reported

    10 years later but hlj managed to fix the issue with PayPal and now my hunter and princess Zelda are safe and on their way. I can't wait to have them with meeee.

  • natashaxfindom ༺𝑵𝒂𝒕𝒂𝒔𝒉𝒂༻ (@natashaxfindom) reported

    how can you dominate someone without using a safe word? If a sub wants to give you their PayPal login info and they tell you the budget why ******** do you take more?? This is not financial **********. You can refuse them if they can’t send as much as you’d want them to send.

  • myboxerluvmac1 Julie🐾 (@myboxerluvmac1) reported

    @dogbus999 @Pawsitivebeings Their PayPal link can be found on their account in a 3 days ago post. Click it + option comes up 2 report this account. You have 2 scroll down 4 a bit 2 locate as not in bio.

  • GregatonBomb 𝙂𝙧𝙚𝙜☢️💣 (@GregatonBomb) reported

    Missed out on ANOTHER limited Sekiro vinyl on @Laced_Records. Sage idea: give people time to process payment when it's in their basket. The ten seconds it took to go to the PayPal sign in and it's been picked out my basket isn't cool.

  • kaguyin 🌈lunate elf🌈 (@kaguyin) reported

    @FizzyGutz I just lie and pray to god paypal doesn’t shut down my account

  • Starblast14_ 🌅☀️KiriBlaze☀️🌅 (@Starblast14_) reported

    @BlazeQuills Yeah that is a issue with PayPal, which is why I normally don't commission people unless I know or follow them for awhile cause of it. :' ) If you can you can try Ko-Fi and see if that works out for you!

  • Kerfuffle99 Nix (@Kerfuffle99) reported

    @malgorzatab83 Not doable, is it? I reckon it must be a courier issue. It's just too coincidental that our two parcels go AWOL, effectively together. Did you use PayPal to pay?

  • lynnguyenx Lynne 🔮 (comms 1/4) (@lynnguyenx) reported

    ig my comms isnt looking too appealing so im taking it down this april 1st, i'll get back the opt w rbux along w paypal then

  • ent18 Jordi (@ent18) reported

    @capeclasp hi, i made an order 20 days ago… and it hasnt been sent yet. This is normal?? I’ll cancel and claim refund it from paypal if this problem is not solved in a few days. Thx

  • Rebecca48553547 Rebecca Baker (@Rebecca48553547) reported

    @SeabunCrafts @AskPayPal Was having the same issue, I got my account back with the help of __hack__hub on Instagram, this guys are very good and reliable. I think you should also try to contact them

  • THE_ProfChaos Scott Macfarlane (@THE_ProfChaos) reported

    @TeamKnowhowUK I tried using my Your Plan account first and when I sign in it comes up with "an error occured" then tried both PayPal and card payments but as soon as I click either button it says "can't process your order".

  • Lalouparisse Laloup 🌌・🚨 (@Lalouparisse) reported

    And I'm still not able to fix the issue with my paypal account which is really annoying

  • Gilastrud01 Jennifer Michel (@Gilastrud01) reported

    @AskeBay Ebays’s new payout method is the worst, 5+ days to receive payment?! I can care less about PayPal, but not allowing sellers to add debit cards for direct payment; like MERCARI and others it’s just terrible business.

  • otbfme Kirakira Kimi 🍙 (@otbfme) reported

    @GirlsWhoCode hey there, I'm trying to buy some merch from your store and the paypal connection seems to be broken

  • SeabunCrafts ᴮᴱKristin⁷ 🧨 💜 (@SeabunCrafts) reported

    @Rebecca48553547 @AskPayPal It would be more helpful if you actually provided useful information rather than this bot acct copy/pasting the same typo-riddled tweet to every person with an account issue.

  • soon_come_sound Soon Come (@soon_come_sound) reported

    @BoomdrawOfFizix But I know even old *** PayPal is a problem for some folks there, so maybe it’s a pipe dream
