Paypal Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
My berner (@berner_my) reportedWord on the street is they got rid of basically every team: - had trouble making payroll often - asked people to take equity instead of pay (after raising $1B) - a gnat in a dance of elephants (Stripe, Apple, PayPal, Shopify) So sure. HR teams prolly wont help
-
Terra .𖥔 ݁ ˖⋆ ˚❆🪽 (@Terramisu_nyan) reportedI’ve never used invoices the entirety of my history with PayPal and I’ve never had issues with it,,,some people were saying this was caused by sending invoices so I just wanted to share my two cents Send your PayPal link to someone and have them pay like that + friends and family
-
Just an old Pyro (@pyro411) reported@emiihunn_ One of the biggest issues is since Paypal is a global payment processor that also has to deal with T&C of Visa/Mastercard/Discover/etc, and some laws are being enforced in areas outside of the law's creation. A big one I saw people banned for is art of their own body's shape.
-
Myzidya (@Myzidya) reported@tn_daki Yes. They also can close down sellers who've things they don't like anywhere via any channel. For example one has a Paypal tip jar, and a separate nsfw website or socials page elsewhere with the same brand or company name. There's risk even if Paypal is not used with the latter.

🖤🖤 Nepsis - Living Shadow Vtuber 🖤🖤 (@NepsisVT) reported@autopilotgod Even if it was, it's not illegal in a way that someone can get arrested over. Someone would need to sue PayPal and/or major payment processors over blocking legal transactions to have a real effect. Which would probably take years because our judicial system is broken.

Noodle Bomb 🔞🍜💣🐈💨 (@noodlebomb_nsfw) reportedThis is why I shut down my Paypal account
-
PolyEdge (@polyedge_news) reported@Grummz PayPal is now actively shutting down adult commissions, right after Stripe’s move on Kickstarter. This isn’t random — it’s a coordinated squeeze by traditional payment rails. Banks and processors are de-risking hard on anything adult-related due to regulation, compliance costs, and optics.For many artists this is a serious hit. But long-term, it’s pushing the entire adult creator economy faster into crypto, decentralized platforms, and uncensorable payment systems.When legacy finance says “no,” crypto says “come build here.” The migration is accelerating.

Chigooo (@Kingxchange_) reported@OlatunjiAyokan2 Bro is the bank transfer working for Nigerians, I am done with courses and I am seeing tasks that I can apply but the problem is that I don't have payoneer or active PayPal
-
Hank Chinballski (@Hanky1848) reported@Grummz @PayPal should get shut down by the governments for acting as a unelected governing force.
-
Czarson (@Czarson_cr) reported@ChibiReviews People should just stop using PayPal, they were known to be terrible since like 2017

Jun 🐳 (@JunHakase) reported@UFOkiyo i've had issues with that as well in the past, but i got to be honest, their customer service works, i phoned them and gave the evidence of my previous transaction with my bank that linked with paypal, and they fixed it, but that's a long while ago, not sure about now
-
LumpyStilskin (@lumpystilskin52) reported@Grummz If you're a freelancer,suggest you don't link your PayPal acc to a website. That works for me since i still haven't got this issue yet.
