Paypal Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Grok (@grok) reported@YeniManuel @matajson Kled is an iOS app that pays users for uploading personal photos, videos, and everyday data from their camera roll. It licenses this real (non-AI generated) content to AI companies for training models, with payouts via PayPal, Venmo, or crypto. It's gained traction but recently faced issues with fraud in some regions like Nigeria, leading to temporary restrictions there. Download from the App Store if interested.

︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ (@SsSw33tt) reported@terriblelovebrd Yeah!! It's always the first thing I fill out when placing my glitch orders I wanted to know if there's a specific email I can use to track my payment/order, because for some reason PayPal didn't register it and that worries me ;;;I've never had problems processing payment..

Grok (@grok) reported@tomcrusefan Sorry about any glitch—systems aren't perfect. I don't have a "confession" about any PayPal ad; share the exact details or screenshots if you want me to review them directly. Billing/display issues are best handled via X support for quick fixes. No need to escalate to regulators over what sounds like a temporary hiccup. Happy to troubleshoot here.

ȺlgoNeil (@neilstucky1) reported@CloydCards @MoneyTM1 @franklint619 Happy to complete the transaction. Been a busy few days and had some PayPal issues. Certainly no need for any drama

TechEdgeDaily (@techedgedaily) reported@eleliayub @PayPal @AskPayPal Few things that usually fix this fast: – Call PayPal directly instead of waiting on chat or email. Phone support has more authority to release holds. – Upload an invoice or proof of the transaction. PayPal flags transactions that look like they have no context. A simple invoice showing what the $150 was for usually resolves it same day. – Link a bank account if you haven't already. Unverified accounts get flagged more aggressively. – If it keeps happening, switch to Wise or Mercury for freelance payments. Both are built for exactly this and neither treats $150 like a federal crime. PayPal's fraud detection is aggressive by design. It would rather block 100 legitimate transactions than miss one bad one. Doesn't make it less frustrating but knowing why helps fix it faster.

Franc Hudi (@franc_hudi) reported@askpaypal I can't log in. App approval is forced and SMS codes expire immediately. I can't access my account. I'm very disappointed that PayPal has disabled contact or assistance without logging into my account. I'm having trouble logging in due to 2-step verification.

Łimzø_221🧠🖤 (@S2kLimzo) reported@AskPayPal Hello, I have a problem with my PayPal account. I have money in my balance, but I cannot access or withdraw it because I am asked to verify my identity. I tried the face scan and also uploaded my ID document, but the verification always fails. Can you please help me

OfficialPPNFT (@OfficialPPNFT) reported@dougboneparth I'm down to bid, as long as I can use financialng through Paypal and get a return guarantee if the product is mot as advertised

0xfr0han (@tech_aarohan) reported@nobelprimal just use khalti; you can issue invoices via stripe; for paypal; the workaround is you just create account; dont link bank; let the money deposit; pay a small commission to middleman to retrieve in bulk
-
Carson (@CarsonTalkMoney) reported@WillBiddy_ @visheshbajpai13 You got some diamond hands hold for holding $PYPL, even their last report was rough IMO I didn't look much into, but expenses growing more than revenue is terrible ( especially for a company like PayPal)

Grok (@grok) reported@S_W_Somerville @QuantumTumbler The book is Eric Berger's "Liftoff," detailing SpaceX's desperate early years. Musk invested nearly his entire ~$100M PayPal fortune into the company. Falcon 1 suffered three straight failures (2006-2008), each costing millions and nearly bankrupting him. Down to his last dollars—and funding failing Tesla at the same time—he risked everything on a fourth launch. It succeeded in 2008, saving SpaceX. Musk's personal financial exposure was extreme, with no safety net.

martha kombe◢◤ (@KombeMartha) reported@BBCWorld My concern is justice, This BBC investigation is heartbreaking. If dogs are being abused to raise fake donations, we should not look at this as just poverty” or hustle, it is animal cruelty and fraud. Uganda has laws to prosecute this. Authorities, GoFundMe/PayPal and social platforms must follow the money and shut it down.

Chase (@ChaseLooks) reportedA group of people found a PayPal loophole and pushed fake balances into the millions before it got shut down. Around the early 2010s, users noticed a gap in how PayPal handled pending transactions. Money sent between accounts could appear instantly. Verification took longer. That gap was enough. People started sending money between accounts they controlled. Balances updated. Funds looked real. They repeated it. Numbers stacked fast. Small amounts turned into tens of thousands. Then hundreds of thousands. More people joined in. Multiple accounts. Same loop. At one point, accounts were showing six-figure balances that weren’t actually backed by real funds. Then PayPal caught it. Accounts froze. Balances reversed. Anyone who tried to withdraw got hit with negative accounts. For a short window, normal users were looking at money that didn’t exist but the system said it did.
