    @AskPayPal Paypal told me three weeks ago that my hard earned #money would be released today July 19, 2021. 21 days later still holding my money. I am sending direct message to you. If I don't get response and action to redress issue I am going to my state attorney gen's office.

    @FlexMundo Hi! Can you try again with an alternate payment method, such as Paypal or with a card? It might be an issue with Apple Pay

  • GaussianScient1 Gaussian Scientific (@GaussianScient1) reported

    @askpaypal I am desperately looking for helps from PayPal since there is almost no other way. I cannot login to my account no matter what. If I tried to click forgot password it displays "Sorry, something went wrong on our side." Please advise. Thanks.

    @troydogvurb I’m down if Har Dog is. I just need him to DM me his Cash App or PayPal so I can throw him a bone every week

  • sbalatan Blue Collar Trade (@sbalatan) reported

    @shashikiranbv @elonmusk @Tesla Yeah, it’s crazy that the founder of PayPal has trouble just wiring you back your money instantly. Maybe it’s because they are a shady company $TSLA

  • itsjackmush It's Jack Mush (@itsjackmush) reported

    I'm having trouble finding sources that China's digital RMB is blockchain based. In which case, how does it differ from a PayPal account?

  • JoeyRibs32 Ribs (@JoeyRibs32) reported from Mentor, Ohio

    @eBay @PayPal / my experience with you over my dispute has been a horrible one. Your communication is terrible. You tell me one thing, and another happens. You don’t protect your customers. You make it impossible for them to avoid fraud.

  • MMoninski Marc Moninski (@MMoninski) reported

    @LonelyGeekess Not men, kids. You didn't wait for the second half of my comment to arrive before typing this. The twitter character count problem. Men are responsible for their actions, kids are impressionable and these days have access to parents credit card or paypal.

  • RedsLizzie “I’m gonna make you famous, Lizzy” (@RedsLizzie) reported

    Has anyone had an issue with Paypal Pay in 3 where they've taken all 3 payments but they're all showing as pending!! I only wanted to pay once, will they cancel the other 2 pending ones? @AskPayPal #Paypal

  • Dangerpylons Lyn X (@Dangerpylons) reported

    @LuxFoxxie @nrr tbh this would be the problem of "is my integrated service really more convenient than paypal + whatever messenger + email which the potential customers are already using"

  • Teikki_ Teikki (@Teikki_) reported

    To be honest my mood is pretty down, after running issues with my bank, I got a new gucci buisness paypal, which I got banned from paypal for using same card on both of my accs. I did explain them my situation but a ban is a ban. I really dont know what to do

  • sn35out 🔞 snout v4 (@sn35out) reported

    i watched the NF/T thing go down with my hands crossed behind my head like must be nice when you dont have to worry about paypal deciding to kill you on any given day. but its okay. this is the only art i care about and it's all that matters intellectually.

  • lostwithoutlwt mercedes ᴴ (@lostwithoutlwt) reported

    @SoobinSeIca wait that’s so weird, i’d try contacting paypal too bc it might be just paypal giving you that issue!! did the buyers manually confirm via paypal?

  • jacklhasa Jack Lhasa 👊🏼 (@jacklhasa) reported

    @ACoupleOkooks @MesMitch @PayPal The problem with Apple Pay seems to be that you can’t just openly request money without sharing your phone number.

  • MaybeKuro_ Kuro (@MaybeKuro_) reported

    @TheOG_Moo i saw youre having trouble with your paypal, and i wanted to tell you that you can add a debit or credit card to your paypal and pay with that, but if u want to keep money directly in paypal without including the card you have to use paypal cash, and you gotta be +

    @SaltyCabage_ My rent money went down the drain PayPal fee was more then the deal itself

  • diemendesign Diemen Design (@diemendesign) reported

    @andrewpprice This is why I now implement Stripe for Web Clients, PayPal is getting worse, and looking in their sub on Reddit, is constant people complaining about issues. It's getting worse.

  • GAMESweetG ©GSG aka 𝒫𝑒𝓉𝑒𝓇 🛸Hope To Leave Earth (@GAMESweetG) reported

    So hopefully the problem gets fixed ASAP because I can't buy any new entertainment on iTunes. The message that I constantly get when trying to make an online purchase. I always get "Authorisation Failure". And my card details are correct as well since I've got it saved in PayPal

  • PillowTalkLau PillowTalk W/ LauLei (@PillowTalkLau) reported

    @Torrid Hi! My order hasn’t been going through for the last 19 minutes help I’m paying with PayPal and it keep saying server issues and that nothing is in my cart and circling back to the cart!!! I’ve already spent $1900 dollars and am trying to use my last $100 of torrid cash 💵

  • crytinyte 🥲 (@crytinyte) reported

    @AdoreAmanda_ I’ve been trying to check out via PayPal and it’s not working

  • juliayne_ The Iron Jules✨ (@juliayne_) reported

    @_primarina I’m still in shock. I use to buy the digital top up cards with no issue until one day it mysteriously stopped allowing me to buy them. Then I switched to PayPal, had no issues, I even used it to buy Cyberpunk last year, now it’s kicked out my PayPal and won’t let me sign in

  • JohnyMohawk Dad.Dad.Daddio (@JohnyMohawk) reported

    @TJCardCollector I have $45.30 to my PayPal name. That's it. Would really like to not get in trouble for buying cards. 😬 #footballcards #hobby

  • badtakesbad Rule of Privacy (@badtakesbad) reported

    @Mary_Cathryn610 @ofarrelltalent @flybry55 I had to pay to bring the answer down. No idea why that wasn't already picked up. I need to find 10 people to PayPal me a dime each.

    @PaskeeWusky Problems have risen qwq I don’t have PayPal at least not yet

  • spectremvm spectre (@spectremvm) reported

    About a week ago, my email was hacked, my PayPal, work and all the edits and videos on my Youtube channel made over the hard work of 2 years is gone, I've had trouble recovering it too since the hacker changed the phone number of my email almost instantly. @TeamYouTube

    I want to do my invoices via this accounting app but seems like less room for error to stick with PayPal invoices 😩
