    I heard about the PayPal situation yesterday but decided to do a little more homework on it. Plus they backtracked on it this morning. But that is some wild **** they tried to pull. Just shut down the account. Fining $2,500 from someone because of what they said is crazy.

  • JonathanSZuk1 Jonathan S Zuk (@JonathanSZuk1) reported

    @davidmarcus @PayPal Most abusive card processor out there. They take your money at will. And shut down thier customer service line

  • N3oshi Ne-O-shi (q,q) 🩸🩸🩸 (@N3oshi) reported

    If you still own @paypal app after today, you are literally (not kidding about this) part of the problem.

  • nomadicboutique Nomad (@nomadicboutique) reported

    @TweetyDumpster @OriginalSin33 @TimKennedyMMA n 2020, Paypal merchants who sold products associated with the eight-legged micro-animals called tardigrades or “moss piglets” had issues with the payment processor because the name tardigrade was used by a Balkan arms dealer.

  • Little_Twitty83 twitty (@Little_Twitty83) reported

    @danheld i use paypal for a long time. Never had any problems. I just never keep big amounts of money in wallets that i dont fully control, and so they are probably not very interested in freezing a 5 dollar account.

  • MarksTechSpace Mark (@MarksTechSpace) reported

    PayPal… Another company that’s “gone down the drain”, so to speak. I’m about to delete my account after having it for years and years. I never use it anyway, anymore.

  • DianeTroy7 Diane Troy (@DianeTroy7) reported

    @bennyjohnson @fltcharleyride1 PayPal just lost 4 1/2M accounts, their stock went down 4% and now they're apologizing that it's a mistake they wrote it into their policy that people would be find $25,000 for mis information if they found it on their social media!

  • highschoolSH Here For Her Podcast (@highschoolSH) reported

    @PayPal PayPal is shady as ****. I’m trying to close my account and I keep getting errors. Weird. You guys are ******* awful.

  • 1967mustangman 1967mustangman (@1967mustangman) reported

    Hey @Paypal instead of “it went out in error” try a really apology. “We need to the wrong people and got led down the wrong path. Sorry” would be a good start.

  • JeffreyAWillia4 Jeffrey A. Williams (@JeffreyAWillia4) reported

    @WatcherGuru Kinda late now for @PayPal to attempt to clear up this communication error. It demonstrates just how poorly they are managed! Short and dump their stock!

  • Trustno1fxm OutlanderinLV🇺🇸 (@Trustno1fxm) reported

    @disclosetv It wasn’t an error. People started canceling their accounts left and right. PayPal has shown their true colors.

  • danV75996618 dan V (@danV75996618) reported

    @lilyhnewman People better wake up and understand that Paypal is just the tip of the esg future being driven down our throats.

  • wowbitcoinrocks Bitcoin rocks! (@wowbitcoinrocks) reported

    @BTC_Archive It’s not an error, it’s now their future plan. Don’t forget to close your PayPal account!

  • CK_CHIEF CHIEF  (@CK_CHIEF) reported

    @MyDogSpIotchy @usmcmary @PayPal Errors happen every day, but they corrected it quickly imo

  • Mikewitte6 Mike witte (@Mikewitte6) reported

    @RealCandaceO PayPal stock down 50% ytd

  • seamusharper221 Seamus "1st Amendment is Law" Harper (@seamusharper221) reported

    @RealKeriSmith @PayPal The error was you weren't supposed to notice. F them ,this was no mistake.

  • PresidentePs5 PS5 Grinch (@PresidentePs5) reported

    @KEEMSTAR Don't forget to delete Venmo as well. They are owned by PayPal. Don't just delete. You have to close the accounts down. I closed both of mine today.

  • WeeklnCrypto WeekInCrypto.eth (@WeeklnCrypto) reported

    PayPal denies it will be fining customers $2,500 for “misinformation” and claims it was included in new policy in error. 💩

  • twifan_nana DFC (@twifan_nana) reported

    @bennyjohnson Doesn't @PayPal have 'people' to read that kind of stuff over? Run it pass lawyers to make sure everything's kosher? I'll believe that 'error' claim after I read who lost their jobs over it or PayPal has gotten themselves new lawyers.

  • RoofTopDad Roof Top Dad (@RoofTopDad) reported

    @htltimor @PeterMcCormack @PayPal You are good at pretending what is, isn't. So I have no doubt you work in legal. The problem is I know how to read. 😜

  • TheMobOtter Otter gaming (@TheMobOtter) reported

    @crabcrawler1 My conspiracy theory is @EricDJuly pissed someone off enough to unilaterally try and change policy to have wrong think punished officially lol… PayPal is a terrible, and censorious service.

  • 1967mustangman 1967mustangman (@1967mustangman) reported

    Hey @Paypal instead of “it went out in error” try a really apology. “We listened to the wrong people and got led down the wrong path. Sorry” would be a good start.

  • iChristianNews_ iChristian News™ 📰 (@iChristianNews_) reported

    BREAKING PAYPAL NEWS 🚨 #PayPal caves to $2.5K backlash! "An AUP notice recently went out in error that included incorrect info. PayPal is not fining people for misinfo & this language was never intended to be inserted in our policy. We’re sorry for the confusion this caused."

  • daniel_houck Daniel Houck (@daniel_houck) reported

    @kfarrellauthor In March 2020, it was “misinformation” that everyone should wear masks. Then it became “misinformation” to say people shouldnʼt wear masks. Iʼm not saying mask policy is arbitrary or anything; there are real health issues. But I donʼt trust Paypal to know them.

  • WitterMorrie Morrie Witter (@WitterMorrie) reported

    @0xKeaman @davidmarcus @PayPal They took it down

  • th3rsty 🇺🇸 Th3rsty™ 🇺🇸 (@th3rsty) reported

    @JennStano @RealCandaceO @PayPal Highly likely. I remember when GoFundMe had their scandal a few months back. I couldn't log on for days. Kept getting a message like "We are having service issues. Please try back later."

  • gotchbetsy2 Betsy Gotch (@gotchbetsy2) reported

    @stillgray I will be shutting down my PayPal account. Might be a good time to invest in Venmo and cash app!

  • elhjewels EH-Lawhorn✝️🇺🇸 (@elhjewels) reported

    @PamelaHensley22 BREAKING REPORT: PayPal does 180 and Reverses Course, Says a 'notice recently went out in error' – COMPANY WILL NOT CONFISCATE MONEY for Promoting ‘Misinformation’...

  • Dumasfun3 links91 (@Dumasfun3) reported

    @TimKennedyMMA @PayPal This is terrible, unfortunately I will be closing my account after 15 years.

  • JennStano Jenn Stano (@JennStano) reported

    @th3rsty @RealCandaceO @PayPal I deleted mine with no issues this morning - I wonder if they are putting up roadblocks now to try to stop the bleeding.
