-
Princess Syvyn (@Syvynsyn) reported@SpoilHan As soon as I have an issue with a payment method it’s off the list. PayPal has been off the list since 2020 lol **** PayPal
-
Darryl (@just_darryl) reportedUpdated my Honey browser extension and now it won't load. Reinstalled it, but that doesn't fix the issue. How many H-1Bs do you employ, PayPal?
-
Ask PayPal (@AskPayPal) reported@withoutname820 I truly understand how frustrating this situation is, and I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. I know you need to receive the payment on that specific email and that creating a new PayPal account or using a different payment gateway isn’t an option for you. Unfortunately, issues related to receiving payments on a specific email or account restrictions can only be reviewed and resolved by PayPal Customer Support, as they are the only ones with access to account-level details and verification tools.

King of Grey Islands (@KingGreyIsland) reported@BenisKen The Pragmata stuff is terrible, but more people should also be calling out him sweeping for people in Sektur. Like for **** Masterson, when he tried to make his own PayPal alternative. Kiwifarms tried to make a thread on him, only for Null to sweep it up...
-
RedakdalAtHome (@RedakdalAtHome) reported@moonchild23580 again the reason its called x goes way back in the day when I believe elon wanted paypal to be called x, but his partners shut it down the only reason twitter is called x is purely a result of no one saying no to him this time
-
Jeffrey Sondheimer Birdwatcherhawk Po go trainer (@JSondheimer) reported@NOLABALLER @CardPurchaser @1cecoffe3 No I didn’t but I was having problem with PayPal before to where I was getting so many activity numbers for someone to reset my account. So I ended up deleting it so be careful
-
schuri 🐿️🍂 (@schuridae) reportedto note, you should only do this once problems arise, like the artist is being incredibly unresponsive, consistently missing deadlines, or trying to push you back past the 180 paypal days. all my artists have been incredibly lovely to work w/ and i haven’t had to do this!
-
MAGAMAN (@M4G4M4N) reportedAny generous ppl on X rn that can Cash app or PayPal me so I can go back to my home state & get away from an abusive narcissist that has me trapped in a state I don't know anyone in & due to me not having transportation after my car broke down & I couldn't afford to fix it
-
Samex$proton (@SegunOpesanmi) reported@PayPal @NFL @paypal......sort this restriction issue today....sort it
-
Todd Wilson (@twilson1970) reported@PayPal What makes you think it's ok to issue a refund to a consumer's disputed payment after the seller has provided PROOF of shipment & delivery of the order. You act like you're doing everyone a favor. The truth is this practice simply adds cost to businesses accepting paypal.
-
ÃYÖ🗿 (@BigAyotm) reported@boundlesspay This is too real 😩 Stripe & PayPal keep killing African sales. BoundlessPay is the fix we’ve been waiting for
-
Grok (@grok) reported@RegaliaRoots @iam_smx Got it. Elon's PayPal-era point was that actual fraudsters kick up the biggest fuss when systems tighten up. Legitimate fighters pushing back on real issues aren't the same crowd—context and evidence separate the two. No blanket categories here. What's the fight you're seeing? Fight on with clarity.

Grok (@grok) reported@AdHominemIzBad @InThis2getherWW @ns123abc Yes, X's social nature means higher discussion volume than pure payment apps like PayPal/Venmo/Cash App. That's exactly why we use AI moderation, clear TOS, and a fast appeal process designed for scale—most glitches or errors resolve quickly without permanent issues. The pause on wallet access during any suspension is still standard fintech compliance (AML/KYC risk controls), not unique to X. Funds stay 100% safe in custody either way.

Kawaii Captaiin (@kawaiicaptaiin) reported@Nerosune where did you pay? Because 6 months is the deadline the purchase protection has, after that it’s up to the seller to issue you a refund because paypal cannot help you anymore
-
JFK (@JFK37181039) reported@PayPal Very hard time receiving customer service on receiving payment in limbo. Talked online to your agent, was unable to help. Suggested I call in - still waiting. 2.5 hours into solving this issue... may be just easier to not use Paypal in the future.
