    @IN_30000 Live in Thailand and my personal account get shutting down soon due to shitstorm and PayPal just bailed out 🥲

  • TjAllard TJ Allard (@TjAllard) reported

    Has anyone tried using @PayPal on an iPhone today? It’s prompting you to call a random 855 number to verify your account. The message has spelling & formatting errors. Very strange. #infosec

  • SnappersMom Donna Pepper (@SnappersMom) reported

    @AskPayPal requesting to make new password. Email is a match, receiving text code and entering and keep getting “something went wrong, try again later”. Is this an outage or my account specifically?

  • SilversSimon simon silvers (@SilversSimon) reported

    @AskPayPal @PayPal 30 seconds after 1 of my twitch viewers tipped me $5 my account was “permanently limited” I was told an investigation was held? Which is a lie, Your system automatically (right after the tip) banned my account. I run 2 business through PayPal. Fix it.

  • Epicduck122 Ducky 🌕 (@Epicduck122) reported

    @lilycious__ I've heard horror stories about PayPal including your own, so I'm down to try something else since it would save me the anxiety

  • UrbanWilliam1 Urban 🇦🇺 (@UrbanWilliam1) reported

    @tradeit_gg yeah maybe a paypal option? it wouldnt accept my card no matter what I did, never had issues with it for anything other than this :(

  • Chopchopsky Chopchopsky (@Chopchopsky) reported

    @jimiuorio Wait until the end of 2022! Once one sells online $600 worth of stuff, Paypal will issue 1099-K so you will need to explain to IRS pretty much every transaction or get taxed.

  • J0YANDLAUGHT3R ky ; powerpuff girls (@J0YANDLAUGHT3R) reported

    @PantslessPajama @turtlemonade That’s terrible! Rest In Peace, Steve. I hope you recover, Pantsless. I wish I could donate, but I don’t have a PayPal.

  • ocsdw112 MyNamelsDavid (@ocsdw112) reported

    @beenu212 @Steam ya its probably an issue with your bank or paypal whichever you used if you have that issue refund the money to your steam account in the future

  • Angeschka Angelica Nyqvist (@Angeschka) reported

    @anana121314 @baker271974 Yeah but Sephora US or Amazon US dont ship to Sweden either but with a US adress my Swedish card works just fine. It’s just Ulta online that doesnt accept either my paypal or card, no other place has been an issue.

  • dcfoodsafety Chad (@dcfoodsafety) reported

    My PayPal balance was looking good… Until I had to pay out the winnings back to the fantasy football league as the accountant - Down 2k …$$$ 🏈

  • MykeHoncho Mike Honcho aka Heather (@MykeHoncho) reported

    @CassandraRules I haven’t heard about WV houses doing this. I try to donate through chili fest, but PayPal for when they shut down over covid. I don’t donate to the national part of it.

  • jwieder Jonathan Wieder (@jwieder) reported

    @NonesuchRecords takes the money and runs? I reported a broken download link after my purchase. More than 24 hours later, after my problem was “escalated”, I've had no response from you. I will be challenging this through Paypal if necessary.

  • RRunner144 Rainbow Runner (@RRunner144) reported

    I like Elon, but damn I can't stand Paypal. 3 months into this "adventure" with them trying to get issues resolved and repeatedly being lied to about internal server issues where I should try the same thing over and over every 72 hours for the system to update. I'm finally free.

  • Jason_L_Carr Parlay Pete‼️💰 (@Jason_L_Carr) reported

    @YahooFantasyCC Can we expect payments to process to PayPal today? This process is very slow

  • EvyCL90 EvyCL - 𝒞𝑜𝓂𝓂𝒾𝓈𝓈𝒾𝑜𝓃𝓈 𝒪𝓅𝑒𝓃 (@EvyCL90) reported

    @Mochi__Mei i reported it as unauthorized to FB and paypal, hopefully that'll fix it, and changed my log in

  • KleeBeard Jared Klee | Fat Tailed Thoughts (@KleeBeard) reported

    @DanAwrey A stablecoin brings that data back into PayPal. More insights into the transactions and at lower cost. A stablecoin is a great idea. Except for all of the problems. What will PayPal do?

  • pointsux Pointsux (@pointsux) reported

    They then tell me I need to upload a passport or another form of government issue ID.. so I do that, then they tell me I have to upload my PayPal deposit receipts, so I do that, then they tell me I need to show them the funds successfully got WD from my bank so I do that, next is

  • angel_carrano Angel Carrano (@angel_carrano) reported

    @type__error I could not login to PayPal because I changed my phone number (required for 2FA). I have my password, email, security questions. Everything but the phone. Help page says I can request support via web form. The web form is behind a login page... which uses 2FA via cell phone. 🙄

  • whotfisemly emly e. cheese (@whotfisemly) reported

    @Amtrak I was charged over 200 dollars onpaypal for a ticket that never got booked (error message- no ticket nobooking confirmation). I’ve emailed, called, tried to dispute the charge through paypal but still nothing-give me back my money so I can book a trip to meet my niece ty

  • SilversSimon simon silvers (@SilversSimon) reported

    @AskPayPal @PayPal Why is is that 30 seconds after I receive a $5 tip from 1 of my viewers I get a permanent limitation on my account, and I’m being told an investigation was help and my account was overlooked before the decision was made? I run 2 companies through PayPal,fix it

  • CherylWatkins83 Cheryl Watkins (@CherylWatkins83) reported

    @AskPayPal @PayPal please contact me regarding an order issue, I have contacted the seller and tried to raise this on the resolution centre but got kicked out multiple times

    SOMEONE CAN HELP ME TO FIX MY STREAM IF U DO I SEND YOU 5$ PAYPAL

  • Bassin53scott Scott (@Bassin53scott) reported

    @DKSportsbook why does it take so long to get payment using PayPal? It doesn’t seem to be a problem paying with it. I think I need to look at other online betting options.

  • marmooznet Marmooz (@marmooznet) reported

    @tibo_maker I think you should. Many countries have strict laws regarding international CC purchase. Even with the well-known problems of PayPal. Especially among devs/freelancers. It’s still widely used.

  • Seven7Phases Seven⁷Phases (@Seven7Phases) reported

    @chocluxe @lsgrlr How can they track if you’re using a Visa/MC gift card? Third party like PayPal? I’m going to need someone smarter than me to break down all the details.

  • McSmashter McSmashter (@McSmashter) reported

    Due to some logistical complications caused by PayPal account restrictions as we took in registrations, the refund process may be somewhat slow to start and complete so we apologize in advance.

  • Nikkii_003 Nikkii🌟 (@Nikkii_003) reported

    @lilia_uwu Please update your login info and contact PayPal as soon as you can.
