Paypal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • tony_pearson Tony Pearson (@tony_pearson) reported from St Albans, England

    @AskPayPal limitations on account?.. customer chat is terrible not helpful at all... 3.5 hours on telephone come on PayPal sort your selfs out!

  • EmilSkandul Emil (@EmilSkandul) reported

    Digital currencies have, as of this year, solved the user experience problem. You can buy it on Paypal (a derivative technically) or Cash app. It's the equivalent of AOL or Netscape opening up the internet to everyone in the late 90s.

  • supercape24 supercape24 (@supercape24) reported

    @AskPayPal why is paypals mobile site so trash? The link to the paypal credit page is has been broken for like a month.. I had to pay my payment via the phone system and it hasn't posted in two days? Are yall alright? Or does quarantine have you lazy

  • BagotHarry Harry Bagot (@BagotHarry) reported

    @Uber_Support It's no help. Simply cannot store payment, via card, PayPal or others. It seems to be an app problem.

  • liIihive b (@liIihive) reported

    @sarialuna3 @AskPayPal Hi I’m having the same problem with them... did you ever get your money back? I got charged once with the real payment and one with the pending authorization. Let me know please!! It’s so hard to get real help from them.

  • wawa15193 Joshua Lin (@wawa15193) reported

    @AskPayPal Why isn't PayPal letting me send money? I keep getting "Unavailable to make payment at this time, please try again later". I've already tried again for 10 times at least, and am getting really frustrated. How can I fix this problem?

  • VladLoghos ChantillyBlazs (@VladLoghos) reported

    @The_Negsus I did that, my paypal is a bussiness account since the moment I started foingt commission. You can easily add your home address without a problem. The problem is, they take taxes for every single payment...

  • sees_nobody #IGotVaccinated (@sees_nobody) reported

    @Jaquix1X @honoramongthie @Shadow1_hunters I have reported them and I am now going to take down my Paypal pool. I wont ask for help ever again

  • BorghtKoen Koen Van der Borght 𐃏 (@BorghtKoen) reported

    @AskPayPal I have corrupted the 2FA for my account when I tried to move it to 1password. Now I can’t login anymore. How can I re-enable this 2FA?

  • hannyzilla_ Hanny🥧🌭 (@hannyzilla_) reported

  • sees_nobody #IGotVaccinated (@sees_nobody) reported

    @knightlore000 Th paypal pool has been taken down and I will never ask for help again.

  • AskeBay Ask eBay (@AskeBay) reported

    @DrewKriner Have you had a chance to resolve the issues with PayPal that cause the payment hold? ~Dasha

  • ebkcleo cleo (@ebkcleo) reported

    i’m thinking about just stopping using paypal and switch over to crypto to send money i continuously have multiple problems with it would that be a better option?

  • sees_nobody #IGotVaccinated (@sees_nobody) reported

    @knightlore000 I will take down my paypal pool @TXTransplant45 this person is calling me a scammer

  • ericgoldie EG (@ericgoldie) reported

    @AskPayPal my account was hacked. Someone changed all the login info and now I can’t get in. I also can’t get through to anyone at your help center. This is URGENT

  • pndungu_chege Ndungu Peter (@pndungu_chege) reported

    Hi @AskPayPal why should I keep tweeting for my issue to be resolved. Just give me my money or refund my friend the full amount he sent me. My PayPal-mpesa is having issues that seems you're not Willing to solve @PayPal

  • xfiretx xfiretx (@xfiretx) reported

    @ItIsHotInHere Like just, "hey, paypal me", nope. I'm not down with gofundme's too much either. I understand that people are going through hard times, me and my family struggle every month with no end in sight but I've never solicited for funds, and won't.

  • pauls988 Jameskrause1 (@pauls988) reported

    @hqhelps please fix the issue of Cashouts regarding,no money entered in paypal after 24 hours has gone, what's problem sir?

  • Dougdesautels Doug Des Autels (@Dougdesautels) reported

    @MediocreG92 But I've had issues with paypal too

  • AliceEmmaViole1 Alice Emma Violet (@AliceEmmaViole1) reported

    @CadburyUK Argh! Same issue as everyone else - purchased an egg, unable to hide it. I paid via PayPal - if this isn’t rectified then I may just open a dispute as ‘not as advertised’?

  • jaemarking nana 👻 PIX DAY!!! (@jaemarking) reported

    @vioIentgrace would u be ok w giving me ur login tho i think that’s the cheapest route or would u prefer paypal which is totally fine w me

  • maxwells_d3mon high tech. low life. 🏴🏴 (@maxwells_d3mon) reported

    Musk made a lot of money in Paypal and proceeded to use all the money to create Tesla, Starlink, Boring, NeuralLink. None of those companies have huge labor issues and are monopolies. They're literally gambles on new technologies that are yet to be profitable.

  • yahyahmango Yozuru 🔞 (@yahyahmango) reported

    @LamboXiao @hbeatsart Hope it all works out, honestly if they don't get back to you then the best method to grab their attention is the PayPal dispute. (Never had an issue with an artist getting back to me after that) I would just get the money back and use it for a commisson somewhere else.

  • Rapax14 Rapax, 希狐? (@Rapax14) reported

    @WuskyJacob You would currently have to use Taobao or a Taobao agent service. If you are too young to do online shopping or use PayPal, you will probably need to ask your parents for help. The language barrier is not a problem with a Taobao agent service.

  • busFootKCMO busFoot (@busFootKCMO) reported

    @thebirdiehansen I have PayPal, but I'm having trouble finding you. Maybe send a link to my DM?

  • SirLoin33 Sir_Loin (@SirLoin33) reported

    @denizthebig110 @ecomi_ Same problem. For now I used PayPal but I hope my google play credit could still be used in the future

  • SicairosDavid Just-David (@SicairosDavid) reported

    @X__Anderson @deaxrp Just sent some $btc with @PayPal looks like they take care of the fees now [as owners of btc no big deal, they just pay the minors, they are the network now] *just guessing here. Easier than ACH or #fiat transfers that's for sure. only cuz im having trouble in the #US with #XRP

  • emiryz_sei Em (@emiryz_sei) reported

    M Y MICROPHONE IS BROKEN I DIDNT KNOW AAAAAAAAAAAAAA i need to open paypal comms soon and get better things cuz skjfkejejfffc aaaaa my laptop is also starting to lag alot

  • signalsafi signal of logic (@signalsafi) reported

    @Pradaldi @vor_bokor Here is the thing, here paypal requires a verified bank. They also shut down accounts here for no reason, i had my account shut down because i received a large payment for art, said its suspicious .

  • pauls988 Jameskrause1 (@pauls988) reported
