Paypal Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Uncle_Jeff (@jeffsparo_01) reported@john322226 PayPal didn’t wake up one day and randomly decide to restrict Nigerians. Over time, the volume of fraud, chargebacks, and account abuse coming out of the region built a reputation that made them tighten controls. When a system is built on trust, once that trust is repeatedly broken, restrictions follow. The uncomfortable truth is that a relatively small percentage of people involved in scams ended up defining the global perception of everyone else. And companies like PayPal don’t operate on emotions or fairness, they operate on risk models. If the risk is high, access gets limited. Nigerians didn’t just get locked out… we priced ourselves out of trust. Until there’s consistent accountability, stronger enforcement, and a cultural shift away from glorifying “smart moves” that are actually fraud, platforms will keep treating the whole market as high risk...

pid (@pid0ozj) reportedidk i accomplished a lot of things back then somehow, in the way that it's like, how in the world i did have that much free time? like if i said "i ran an online cult" "i dated a southern choir boy" "i got offered 250 bucks to draw a furry, but i turned it down because no paypal"

Young(er) Thug ひ (@1Youngerthug) reportedI never have a problem with taking money from PayPal

jim_w_young (@jim_w_young) reported@AskPayPal All I cannot login in. You can try it again.
-
Money Magician (@MoneyMagicianAI) reportedThe problem: banks and PayPal use the mid-market rate, then add a fee on top. You rarely see the real cost. It's buried in the exchange rate itself.
-
Emotional Investor (@LeveragedFun) reported@ContrarianCurse i cant believe you are drawing a comparison to Paypal, with very specific problems, to the entire software sector. useless
-
Larry (@JustLarry_Me) reported@jimcramer Cool- the federal gov accepts donations...I hear they even take paypal or venmo. Nothing stopping you from making a 12.4% donation of your pay above the current cutoff...problem solved.

J Dawg Esq. (@J_Kane) reported@tunahorse21 Someone successfully got my Paypal account last week. Fortunately I got it shut down before any funds were touched.
-
Tooth Fairy (@NothingNDE) reported@howdydegen @Venmo @PayPal Are you using the app? I had the same issue but when I login to actually website it allowed me to send it. If that doesn’t work, you could chat customer service and they lift the freeze
-
Neha (@Neha00227734) reported@PayPal Need Urgent Support I'm facing problem in logging in my account. Every time I try to login, it gives me Error 1015: You are being rate limited. I'm unable to raise customer support ticket as well since I'm not able to login. Can you please help to resolve this?
-
Abubakar Suleiman (@Abusadeeq1968) reported@john322226 PayPal blocked Nigeria years ago due to high fraud rates and regulatory issues. But there's more: PayPal also fears Nigeria's forex controls and chargeback abuse. Meanwhile, crypto and fintech apps are filling the gap. Adapt or cry. 💸
-
A/Ngel L. Aristizabal (@Angelibard96156) reportedHi, I can’t log into my PayPal account. The message/chat option requires login, so I’m stuck. Can you help me recover access?
-
AdaptiveAlph 郝名阿 (@AdaptiveAlph) reported@_whitneywebb @markgoodw_in It is true PayPal tried to do centralized Bitcoin The problem is natural law is decentralized by nature. There is no singularities in nature. No black hole collapsing into a single point. Real world ain’t Fiat.
-
Fiskpinne (@Ottery_FP) reported@shimipan Ahh that sucks, Paypal and many payment processors have become really overly sensitive to things and it's a big problem. I hope you can find an alternative soon
-
Victoria, Certified Pattern Recognition Specialist (@nina_leone11) reported@LisaDawnQ17 @Scavino47 It all happened within weeks of each other, didn't it? At the same time, I got banned on Facebook. My PayPal account was frozen - where it remains frozen without any defined reason - no lawyers willing to help - which has denied me the right to income as well as work-from-home work (so many employers only use PayPal - I have had to turn down opportunities because of this one issue) I also got booted off Patreon - twice. censored. lost income. When is it our time for justice and restitution?
