    @immivoice There is a glitch in the paypal payment. Once all cc info is entered and clicked, it is going to blank page. I tried couple times and gave up. Plz let us know once the glitch is removed.

    So @eBay total fee for selling a card is now 16,5%??? this includes final value fee, shipping fee and paypal fee. CRAZY!!! especially when you know that if there's any problem they'll side with the buyer EVERY TIME. @AskeBay @SoccerCardsUTD

    @WesternUnion Its ok I use @AskPayPal now. They did not ever lower my limits or have issues. I choose not to reopen a horrible experience that happened years ago. I should have contacted you sooner but didn't. Its all good now.

  • bigbuttvero Vero 🖤🔮 ☾ 🦇 (@bigbuttvero) reported

    @AskPayPal So you guys reply here but not on your actual link???? I tried doing that pay in 4 and it kept telling me “error” but MY CARD still got charged even though it says on your site it wouldn’t be until it was confirmed. It is not confirmed I called merchant. They have no orders in

  • ev_wilt Evan Wilt (@ev_wilt) reported

    @citrus3000psi There was a weird issue where going directly to Paypal would log me out and remove the PS1Digital from my cart. Clicking the "Proceed to Checkout" button then choosing Paypal at checkout did seem to work thankfully.

  • itsvau 肏你妈 🥰 (@itsvau) reported

    @itsyamper yeah, like the anne rice fanfic problem back then. But in that case no writer was earning any money. If they surpass certain quantity monthly for example its easy to check through paypal/bank and the artist has all the rights to sue lol

  • OGMrsGB Gem (@OGMrsGB) reported

  • RobboSWA Rob (@RobboSWA) reported

    Skybet are jokes. I’ve got a monthly limit of £25 on the account and went to deposit it all, accidentally put in £20 and went to PayPal (wanted my password) so ignored it and went back to Sky... deposit limit down to £5...... absolutely shocking.

  • NzAtomik V8 Brody xX (@NzAtomik) reported

  • claire_goodman Claire Goodman (@claire_goodman) reported

    @Alistair_Binney @PayPal Hi! Sorry to jump on your tweet - did you ever resolve this? I have the same issue and I am going around in issues with no apparent customer service available to help on any of their platforms!

  • AlePorto94 Diogo Teixeira (@AlePorto94) reported

    @AskPayPal @SeanGoodchild1 I am still waiting for feedback for my problem. You are contacting people that twited you after me. Please reply to my text. Thank you

  • meikeejanssen meike ♡ (@meikeejanssen) reported from Gemeente Overbetuwe, Provincie Gelderland

    lmao next problem i don’t have a credit card or paypal 😭

  • NickAeiou Nick Allen (@NickAeiou) reported

    @LaurenCawte1706 @Ultimate_Steps Go to "My Account" on the Superstore. I used PayPal so I could login through PayPal. Then there was a dashboard button for "My Downloads." You'll need to use a PC / Laptop, unless you have an Android and set it to "download from third party / unknown sources."

  • BaillieBlount Baillie_LFC (@BaillieBlount) reported

    @S_huggies @shoptonet I have a confirmation from PayPal but not shopto, anyone else have this problem?

  • _Layerr Clare (@_Layerr) reported

    @AskPayPal @chloemcnally Hi PayPal I have this same issue, I just sent you a DM with the case ID.

  • SuzHolder01 🎄Spirited🥃Susan (@SuzHolder01) reported

    @BondBourbon Sent an email but guessing some issues arose with pre-orders and PayPal as many orders were canceled automatically for some reason after 30 days. What should we do? Thanks!

  • jeffqchen Jeff Chen (@jeffqchen) reported

    @citrus3000psi PayPal is utterly broken and I had to retreat back to credit card. It got me the last time as well.

  • bigbuttvero Vero 🖤🔮 ☾ 🦇 (@bigbuttvero) reported

    @AskPayPal It says online my debit card won’t be charged until it’s confirmed and processed. It is still “pending” and I got charged twice, even though it had said error try again.

  • gidster3000 Gideon Summerfield (@gidster3000) reported

    @HalifaxBank Thanks for the quick response. Yes, I have check this setting is on several times. Just did it again and it was still on. I can't be sure it's ever worked on this device (not used it on any other) but I don't have a problem, with Barclays, PayPal etc

  • DaisyBrennanxo Daisy Brennan (@DaisyBrennanxo) reported

    @PayPal @PayPalUK @AskPayPal Trying to login in however I’ve changed my number and can’t verify it can you help please thanks

  • bigbuttvero Vero 🖤🔮 ☾ 🦇 (@bigbuttvero) reported

    The fact that you have to blow up @AskPayPal on Twitter to get any sort of response back is beyond me. I tried to do that pay in 4 & it said “error” twice but I still got charged TWICE??? And the merchant doesn’t even have my order.

  • AlePorto94 Diogo Teixeira (@AlePorto94) reported

    @AskPayPal @SeanGoodchild1 I am still waiting for feedback for my problem. You are contacting people that twisted you after me

  • stellacreasy stellacreasy (@stellacreasy) reported

    government says knows Buy Now Pay Later industry is causing consumers problems but refusing to act to regulate them and protect consumers this Christmas - the young people being targeted by likes of Klarna, Clearpay, laybuy & PayPal etc deserve better! @MartinSLewis
