    is anyone else having major issues buying stuff in Genshin Impact on desktop? anytime i try with paypal it just goes to a blank white screen

  • Ecompapi Michael 👨🏽‍💻💰 (@Ecompapi) reported

    Dropshipping is a *****. PayPal/Shopify holds, customer service, chargebacks, disabled ad accounts the list goes on. This business model isn't for everyone. You have to have a "never giving up" mentality coming into this & know how to problem solve. But it's 100% worth it.

  • danada0109 DanaERTurton (@danada0109) reported

    @QuinceMountain @yotamhaber I’m not sure either, but I know I’ve had trouble getting PayPal to send sometimes. It could be user error entirely though.🙃 Venmo should be fine maybe w/ DM if you don’t want to put it out there. Let me know - project sounds amazing! 🎶

  • k4eyagf riz 👾 (@k4eyagf) reported

    @lvchilde since logging in someone's account is an issue can't u do paypal, mihoyo top up or codashop?

  • explainingpros TNG Explaining Pros (@explainingpros) reported

    @Jur3ky Jur3ky is surprised that he is now getting login attempts on his paypal account from places like nigeria, this is due to the fact that he has exposed that he has a whole 100k in his paypal sitting there for someone to hack him (dont do this)

  • Aspereilla It's ASPY. (@Aspereilla) reported

    @Sharr_Starr Good idea I’ll just have to make a PayPal I don’t think I have one . Or maybe I do but I never use it so no telling what the login is

  • Stu_Palmer Mr Karma #StopTheStink (@Stu_Palmer) reported

    @liverpooltoonz @elsieelse Oh no mate. I just couldn't believe someone tried to bs their way into getting money on your post. I've thankfully never had an issue with PayPal but mainly because I don't use it like you do. It's horrible to rely on something like this for them not to perform like you expect

  • FallonTerry10 Fallon Terry (@FallonTerry10) reported

    @AskPayPal I’ve already been on the phone with your customer service team 8 times over 2 1/2 months trying to resolve the issue. All I get is finger pointing and ineptitude

    @calebsmores I’d love to buy one, but your site seems to be having trouble connecting to paypal. D:

  • bl4kers Blake Gearin 😷 (@bl4kers) reported

    @Fab20 @CNBCnow Sure, but games can be more expensive and for subscriptions it adds up real quick If the app has a payment website that's dodgy or has malware, why even buy an app from them? That's asking for trouble. Most will use out-of-the-box solutions like Stripe or PayPal anyway

    @JustinM45 @CardPurchaser Where they say hello in the headliner of the email they were not say your email address, they would say your name. The server with the email comes from would be from PayPal not a third-party vendor
