Paypal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • The_Epic_Mike Epic Mike (@The_Epic_Mike) reported

    Paypal says their new terms of service was sent out in error. Aka we tried to morally high horse our customers and now the backlash is way too big. Never come between a man and his money.

  • BostonBasedHQ Boston Based (@BostonBasedHQ) reported

    @RealCandaceO @AskPayPal Yeah I'm having the same issue! I'm also having issues with deleting my Venmo account! Just evil...

  • timgkelly tim kelly (@timgkelly) reported

    @chriswtburke @PayPal This is just the capitalist utopia we have all been asking for. Corporations, unfettered and unregulated are just doing what they do best...take your money and knock everyone down a few pegs.

  • moee_redrebel sky_moe (@moee_redrebel) reported

    @AskPayPal Help me please i have and issue i have sent dm to you

  • UrbasJulie Running Jewel (@UrbasJulie) reported

    @GenovesesDeli @TimKennedyMMA October 8, 2022 6:00 PM PayPal has backtracked on a published policy that would have fined users $2,500 for spreading “misinformation,” claiming the update had gone out in error

  • FreedomStandup #TrudeauMustGo (@FreedomStandup) reported

    Closing PayPal accounts got them running circles trying to save face, clearly there were enough accounts being deleted that the company went on a complete 180. Now imagine if everyone would shut down their bank accounts, governments would be at their knees!

  • DFarrington1981 Negotiator (@DFarrington1981) reported

    @RealCandaceO @PayPal @AskPayPal Candace are you Pro-#Bitcoin? IMO you are doing great work and we need more positive people like you but the public must know your stance. Fix the money, fix the world!

  • 6feetPanda NorPanda (@6feetPanda) reported

    @RealCandaceO @AskPayPal Sounds to me like PayPal is having some server issues, high loads usually cause feedback loops.

  • CarlUnit70 UNIT 🇺🇸🤟🤙 (ONLY like minded people can follow) (@CarlUnit70) reported

    @kimKBaltimore So basically the comments are saying people who are mad are the ones on the right, who spread it. PayPal just announced it wasn’t true and done in error. Guess who were ok with that misinformation?? People on the left! LET THAT SINK IN!!

  • Mendax48989587 Mendax (@Mendax48989587) reported

    @RealCandaceO @PayPal @AskPayPal They demand an old mobile number I have long moved on from as a way to access my account. I don't use them but wish to delete anyway. My intent was to delete but they will not let me sign in

  • ThierryMARCEL13 Thierry MARCEL (@ThierryMARCEL13) reported

    @PeterSweden7 I don't never use Paypal. So it's not a problem for me.

  • Colette88342032 Colette Price (@Colette88342032) reported

    @NO_WeaponFormd @MondarySharyn I use Zelle for immediate transfers. Have credit cards for other purchases. Can do quite well without PayPal. No problem.

  • LindaKnudson7 Liberty State 🇺🇸🇺🇸💙💚🧡💓💘 (@LindaKnudson7) reported

    I haven't used PayPal or Veno, but they've used my account. The bank determined it was fraud. In the mean time it caused a lot of trouble.

  • adam_spock Mr. Spock (@adam_spock) reported

    @NextDecadeLife @TomFitton @PayPal I could be wrong but isn't this what the right fought for, free market? For a company to do what they want to, per se. Why is it a problem now, I wonder.

  • Terrafluxus1 Terrafluxus (@Terrafluxus1) reported

    @AisARagnar Used PayPal periodically for buying used goods on forums when the counterparty wouldn't accept btc at a premium for their trouble. No more.

  • nerd_foundry Nerd Foundry Gaming (@nerd_foundry) reported

    How clever of @paypal to classify their own AUP about fining misinformation as "misinformation" because it went out "in error."

  • PascalJoanne joanne pascal (@PascalJoanne) reported

    @RealCandaceO @PayPal @AskPayPal I was having trouble deleting it. I’ll check again tomorrow

  • Philosopher254 Philosopher (@Philosopher254) reported

    @ACTBrigitte PayPal is the most discriminatory company ever. They suspend accounts of recipients in Africa, take ages to resolve the issue. It's like they plan to get free $$ without interest. I know a victim.

  • CarlUnit70 UNIT 🇺🇸🤟🤙 (ONLY like minded people can follow) (@CarlUnit70) reported

    @kimKBaltimore PayPal just announced it’s not going to fine people, and that it was an error. So basically PayPal just misinformed people! How ironic!!

  • ShawnStudentDC Shawn-#SaveDemocracy🌻 (@ShawnStudentDC) reported

    @NRO So I called Customer Support and they tell me my account is locked and limited because of so issues with how I do business? WTF. I've have ZERO transactions on my account. Looks like I'm in a suspended animation state. How do I close my account @paypal?

  • JohnBiermann The Bierboy (@JohnBiermann) reported

    @RealCandaceO @AskPayPal I had no issues with the process

  • TwoTimeFluke Blackpillius Maximus (@TwoTimeFluke) reported

    @RealCandaceO @AskPayPal I went through hell closing my account because their website/UI sucks. It's also slow af, too. Had to contact customer service and spoke to "John" who was actually helpful.

  • jaylinnyc yaj (@jaylinnyc) reported

    @danheld Used to run a business using PayPal for years. When we shuts down, they froze our funds for months without releasing it. Absolutely no reason, other than claiming for security. Took months to get the month back. They have too much authorities at their discretion

  • Dmac_115 Dylan (@Dmac_115) reported

    @RealCandaceO @PayPal @AskPayPal No problem deleting mine.

  • Evamkir Jason on the left coast (@Evamkir) reported

    @RealCandaceO @AskPayPal Yep, had that issue yesterday.

  • RealCandaceO Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) reported

    Anybody else having trouble with the “delete data” option on @PayPal. For the record— when you delete accounts you should always make sure they also delete your data. A lot of companies you will find intentionally bug this process because your data is lucrative. @AskPayPal

  • SAlibaster Questioning Criminal Activity Is Not A Crime (@SAlibaster) reported

    @RealCandaceO @PayPal @AskPayPal Yep. Keeps telling us there's an issue. Click "show issue" it says "no issues."

  • tom_calahan Tom Calahan (@tom_calahan) reported

    @RealCandaceO @AskPayPal Same issue for me.

  • CarlUnit70 UNIT 🇺🇸🤟🤙 (ONLY like minded people can follow) (@CarlUnit70) reported

    @crystalsloth @kimKBaltimore What’s even funnier, is PayPal just announced it’s not true and it was an error!! Basically it was misinformation, and who was ok with that misinformation?? People on the left!!! LET THAT SINK IN!!

  • AJ_Cats_ Andrea Catsimatidis (@AJ_Cats_) reported from Manhattan, New York

    PayPal is down over 50% YTD. How much lower do you think the stock will go with so many angry users closing their accounts and pulling their cash?
