Paypal Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Artist in residence (@artyfarty75) reported@wariocolosseum Musk was born in 1971. He first appeared on the Forbes Billionaires List in 2012 (around age 41) with ~$2 billion net worth.  He made significant money earlier: ~$180 million from the PayPal sale in 2002 (age ~31), but it took further successes with Tesla and SpaceX for him to solidly reach billionaire status. The “40 years” rounds up from birth but overlooks that meaningful wealth accumulation accelerated in his 30s–40s through entrepreneurship, not a slow linear grind.  Now he is making $1 BILLION every 15 minutes from SpaceX stock moves alone.”Exaggerated but directionally illustrative of recent volatility. Musk’s net worth hit ~$1.3 trillion as of June 17, 2026. This is paper wealth tied to stock price fluctuations, not realized cash income. It can (and does) go down. This post reflects the polarised online discourse from people spreading misinformation or partial truths, exaggerated by the misinformed.

Vermilion | VGen (@QAVermilion) reported@Colour_awr @_VGen_ @PayPal Wa. (File a counter issue, show all proof of delivery and that they use the VGen service. If they still side with the scammer, do check the law in your country and basically threaten them, they should revert back the funds to you.)

carmilla (@balaclavados) reported@daddy_grace17 I’m not able to send DMs because an error keeps occurring. I use PayPal. Message me on Telegram: carmilla2026
-
Erik Vallart (@erikvallart) reportedIt’s the same default setup most people use for email, banking, PayPal, cloud accounts, and recovery codes. Phone number equals “prove it’s you.” That’s the problem.
-
Esco (@EscoJ27) reported@Saladinbraham Reminds me of PayPal. Growing business. Low pe/ forward pe. They are buying back shares. Cheapest multiple in years. Market just doesn’t care. Down/ sideways for years. Adobe can do the same.
-
silentsuite.io (@silentsuiteio) reported@TutaPrivacy Wise for international transfers, Revolut for everyday use. But the PayPal breach is a good reminder that the payment layer isn't the only thing worth auditing- most people lock down their payments before they think about what their calendar or contacts are leaking.
-
Lance L (@LanceL797753) reported@GretchenPSmith @PayPal Somali learing centers don’t have these problems. I wonder why? 🤔
-
MƈLιႦҽɾTҽα (@McLiberTea) reported.@PayPal needs to FIX THIS! 😠
-
G (@NewMusic) reported@Brownmoose Nope it can easily turn into PayPal or Adobe. If I had to buy anything that’s been beaten down it’ll be Microsoft.
-
Jade the Protogen (@AmodeusthePure) reportedUhh, so I have a problem…I tried to set up a PayPal account for Ko-Fi, but PayPal immediately flagged my account with suspicious activity as soon as I made it. I don't have an ID. What ******** do I do???
-
Schnurzpiepe 🛝🍉 (@Schnurzpiepe420) reported@Colour_awr @_VGen_ @PayPal Vgen literally tells you to issue a charge back via PayPal when you have any problems with your commission
-
📡 Thunder Schnitzel 🇺🇸 (@walktheline100X) reported@codeofvets @PayPal @PayPal this is very disappointing. Please fix this, so we won’t have to look for another pay app.
-
Itscurlyfriez (@itscurlyfriez) reported@MrsSteak Do you have any fart clips in this outfit? Down to pay if comfortable, I use Apple Pay and PayPal
-
Simple American News 🗞️ (@TSimpleAmerican) reportedPayPal is shutting down its decade-old corporate venture arm, PayPal Ventures, as part of a broader restructuring push
-
Neville Thumbcatch (@NThumbcatch) reportedSerious question... Has PayPal ALWAYS been this ******* ****? Locked out of my account for 24 hours. Rang the helpline - 'Sorry, there's nothing we can do, we're having issues with our system.' A score of 1.3 on Trustpilot seems generous.
