Spectre🐺🔥 (@HuntressSpectre) reported9 HOURS LEFT TO PLEDGE!!! I know a couple people have had an issue with PayPal, please let me know if you have the same issue!!!
-
BabyofAfrica® (@BabyofAfrica) reported@PayPal, I am extremely dissatisfied with your service. I have forgotten my password, and the response I received is unacceptable. Your support is not available late, nor do you provide a chat assistant for account-related issues. 🙄 Now, I have to wait until tomorrow to complete a transfer. This is absurd.

London ♡ (@lonnerdd) reported@KryptixSR ye i’ll down. i’m at work til 12:30 tonight so i’ll dm you. i cant take paypal tho
-
Jason Tan Liwag (@jaseybel) reportedMy PayPal account got permanently deactivated after I submitted my remaining documents to claim some funds that just came in? Is there any way to fix this?
-
John Schafer 🇺🇸 (@CreationByJohn1) reported@codeofvets I have a problem using PayPal. Sent you a DM about it.
-
Will Kramer (@willkramer) reported@rohanpaul_ai I get that PayPal is bloated but who would ever broadcast layoffs over the next 2-3 years? Every decent employee will start job searching. What an unforced error.
-
Code and Football (@FoodNSnellville) reportedSo I ordered $18 of items on @AliExpress . The address was wrong and the delivery agent had disposed of my package before I even was aware of the issue. How to deal with this, who to contact? I paid with Paypal but they want us to deal with AliExpress first. How? So confusing.

Dr. Sserunjogi Emma (@DrSerunjogiEmma) reportedI have been using PayPal in Uganda for now 6+ years and have had no issues. So I'm speaking with a lot of experience. Yesterday I even withdrew 1.7m ugx from my PayPal to Stanbic and in 30 seconds it had reached my bank account. I can do the same with Equity, DFCU and even UBA. Instant withdrawal from PayPal business to my bank account. Just don't try to circumvent the system, pay their transaction fees, you will enjoy PayPal.
-
HaveBlue77 (@HaveBlue77) reportedPayPal is probably wondering why people are not using their platform anymore. For me, I shut down my account after they started, to prohibit purchases on legal items I buy. I never any company tell me what I can and can’t buy. Stupid business model.
-
Jan | Profitbay.io (@justjasiu) reported@Amank1412 I dropped paypal years ago for this issue, Not only they ban u for no reason they keep the funds for 6 months after the ban ******* nightmare of a company
-
unconed 🛸💫👻 (@unconed) reported@msimoni Eeeh there is plenty of precedent of complexity: - Lookalike collisions and fakes ("paypal" with cyrillic letters) - Unicode normalization forms C vs D - Whitespace characters that are or aren't spaces themselves (like vertical tab but way worse) - Composite characters and emoji with zero-width joiners - Search and collation being locale dependent If you have e.g. string interpolation in a language you also need to handle that "properly" inline. Doing it well means being well versed in the Unicode spec. I think what most prefer to do instead is segregate all non-ascii characters from the syntax. That's a solution but it can cause issues in certain locales.

Tall Seller (@TallSeller) reported@mukund Ick! 11% for $PYPL is like -99% compared to ai winners. Lores delivered lame 1-2% CAGR shareholder returns while at $HPQ, and he was integral in PayPal’s terrible decision-making, being their chairman for years; many reasons PayPal should see much lower lows.
-
Tony Franklin (@GamblingHurts) reported@EnriqueJLores @PayPal PayPal has become inefficient and difficult to use in my opinion. I have had issues for 2 months now that despite hours trying to resolve, remain unresolved. At scale, no wonder PayPal needs a turn around. Good luck
-
Joe Kerick (@JoeKerick) reported@AskPayPal would be great for someone to reach outvand explain to me how this is fair and legal. Holding my tzx return for negative account i was unaware of or had any knowledge of but someone how was linked to my current account with no issues.need answers need to speak to any1
-
IronWolf1765 (@IronWolf1470) reportedI'm having a similar issue. I got a new debit card, but PayPal gave me this notification. They did it because they found it suspicious. They ask me to confirm my card, but it's my old debit card that's blocked. I wanna remove the old card, but PayPal won't let me do it.

Byul (@byul_finance) reported$PYPL $AAPL PayPal shares drop as CEO Enrique Lores issues weak Q2 guidance despite Q1 beat
-
@dwjorgeb (@dwjorgeb) reported@levelsio @loaibassam @blockbee_io it's mostly a UX problem imo, and we've tried hard to make it as a smooth experience as we can (emulating the Stripe/PayPal flow), unfortunately due to the inherent technicalities of crypto, it is very hard to beat PayPal or Apple Pay 1-click UX
-
LostAmericanDream (@LostAmericanDRM) reported@eleliayub I had an issue with them about 25 years ago and still can't ever get a PayPal account working. They want to call a number to verify my account I had on file in 2002.
-
Flo (@Floyohou2) reportedI've been thinking but idk if it's too risky. to open comms rn, but since im having difficulty opening a paypal acc, was thinking if i should start taking comms NOW that i have time, then client pays once my paypal problem is troubleshooted. I'll finish the pieces but i wont send

FinWitness (@FinWitness) reported$PYPL (PayPal) Q1 2026 earnings had a tiny profit bump, but the CEO completely dodged questions about selling Venmo and fixing their broken tech. Empty buzzwords don't pay the bills. #FinWitness

Hummingbird (@politicalblond) reportedHoly ****!! The PayPal mafia in action…and apparently in control. How are we ever going to bring them down?
-
HimenoArts 2D Animator (@HimenoSensei) reported@MANKYOX_ @KoudaTune also if the commission is NSFW related you will get trouble if client report it as it was a nsfw commission. stripe and paypal are banning nsfw services , so getting another payment option if you do sell nsfw stuff avoid paypal and stripe i guess
-
Pagan (@Pagan_GMR) reported@Pirat_Nation Banks have zero ******* business telling us what games should cost. Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal already try to censor what we’re allowed to play, now they want to help push $80 as the new standard? Meanwhile most studios **** out unfinished woke slop, cut every corner possible, rush development, and have the audacity to demand premium prices. If the game is actually good and worth it? Sure, charge more. But asking $80 for mediocre trash and broken launches? Get absolutely ******. Gamers aren’t stupid. We’ll just wait for the inevitable sale… or skip your garbage entirely. Stop punishing your customers for your greed and low-quality woke slop.

poofey one 🇺🇦🌊🕊️☮️💙🌈 (@poofeyone) reported@AskPayPal Why are there so many problems trying to access my PayPal cash back Mastercard? I spent 20 minutes on the phone with a representative filing a dispute today and yet I haven't received an email about it and can't find any information documenting that I filed this dispute! This has become a horrible, horrible experience!

Plane biker (@urbanavgeek) reported@BennyFrank1783 @unusual_whales I guess since "good businesses" are moving out, bad businesses move in. Like JP Morgan (3-4 billion office building). Amex 10,000 jobs announced in Feb. Google, Amazon, PayPal, OpenAI. All terrible companies that are expanding in NYC. Blatantly apparent you know fuckall.
