Paypal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • AmserTheRabbit Amser 💫Commissions Closed💫 (@AmserTheRabbit) reported

    @roseimps I remember when I paid $85 for a commission from an artist, took from September to January and they still never finished it and blamed their family issues on me. I also filed the dispute from PayPal and thankfully I got my money back, just made a loss from conversion rates

  • Studentissues20 Student Issues 2020 (@Studentissues20) reported

    @princessmel_87 I just refunded as they messaged on PayPal saying it was an error haha x

  • Ade_Scottsdale Adrian Scottsdale (@Ade_Scottsdale) reported

    @mexicancatfight Hi, just attempted to purchase this using PayPal. It stated that there usva problem with your PayPal account. I'm now making a second attempt at purchase using a credit card. Just thought I'd let you know.

  • charles_gaba Charles Gaba 🇺🇦 (@charles_gaba) reported

    Why? Because the issue wouldn't be the "cost" (literally $0.01 per year)...it would be the fact that they'd have to enter their credit card, PayPal, Venmo or some other type of payment info *at all*. Even if they have an account to enter, many still wouldn't bother doing so.

  • Ziginox Kasey (@Ziginox) reported

    @Laroarmay @MattGrayYES @monzo I went across country a few years ago, spending money along the way for food and gas. No issues. Buy a freakin' camera bag from a long-established reputable brand? Through paypal no less? FRAUD ALERT!

  • MWretired MWretired 🇬🇧 🇮🇪 🇫🇷 ⚽️🏈🏏 (@MWretired) reported from Simeyrols, Nouvelle-Aquitaine

    Is it just me or does anyone else have problems getting their money back from PayPal?

  • galoswaist Galo Thymos’ Waist (@galoswaist) reported

    @GAMEHelps hello I am trying to place a pre-order but am getting an error that payment is unsuccessful or unavailable. I’ve tried PayPal and my credit card with no luck. Neither are blocking payment. Thank you!

  • asemota Osaretin Victor Asemota (@asemota) reported

    I finally found the Paypal problem. They just take money from anywhere and put it back anywhere. Once you have cards and bank accounts linked, they can decide to take money from any of them or your Paypal balance. I had to do serious recon.

  • GhostBento GB (@GhostBento) reported

    @finnieforkys Same, I have problems with paypal too🥲 which is why i dont do commissions

  • Casieg Casie Gillette (@Casieg) reported

    @AskPayPal Thank you PayPal Twitter for resolving my issue. Extra frustrating it had to be done by going through social but appreciate the help.

  • gladibro cuba (@gladibro) reported

    @klimtsonian I GOT SO EXCITED TO ORDER I misspelled my email address!!! will this be an issue? :O I entered it correctly for PayPal, however!

  • alistair Alistair MacDonald (@alistair) reported

    @MattGrayYES @monzo I have had the same kind of problem with PayPal a couple of years ago. I have a suspicion this is because they use to be really good at pulling back unexpected payments, but it got to the point where people were just requesting it for things that were just not valid.

  • MrKwameLamar Tay Lamar | Kwamé Olajuwon (@MrKwameLamar) reported

    Why is @AskPayPal so slow? I sent them a DM 3 hours ago (from now). No response. Just ignored. Terrible.

  • paulhawker56 Paul Hawker (@paulhawker56) reported

    @Ocado App one-clck feature is great but has been made far less convenient lately by the new credit card requirements to often have to login to the credit card app to authorise the payment. Any plans to fix this? Or could you add other payment methods like PayPal as workaround?

  • Indigoali33 RUN-T.H.C (@Indigoali33) reported

    Shutting down my PayPal actually caused me to have to find a new job One of my jobs paid out exclusively through pay pal

  • sairel_vt `'VArtist 🐾🎨 | SAI ~ PREDEBUT (@sairel_vt) reported

    @GarbagePandaXx thank youu! I'm sad that i have to sell him too, but i dont have any need for him anymore </3 Thankfully the paypal thing got resolved, but i dont wanna risk having another issue like that 😭😭

  • sairel_vt `'VArtist 🐾🎨 | SAI ~ PREDEBUT (@sairel_vt) reported

    @GarbagePandaXx i got locked out just recently cuz of 2fa issues, im scared my paypal account will get deleted and i lose my money so im gonna put it in an account just to be safe 😭

  • TheKill_Shot Aaron Champaign (@TheKill_Shot) reported

    @Dan_Schulman I need someone from your office to contact me about a very serious issue. Your company is refusing to assist me as a customer with obtaining a resolution to a case that I have opened with paypal.

  • LancePaters1 𝙇𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙋𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣 (@LancePaters1) reported

    @OliverBonas hello:trying to purchase something with Paypal option and system appears to be broken. Checked in iOS (iPad & iPhone) Safari,iOS Google,and Mac desktop Chrome. Pushing PLACE ORDER button triggers a JS animation but nothing else. No error messages received in Console.

  • btsuth Bruce Sutherland (@btsuth) reported

    @ErnestWongBWM PayPal’s Schulman gets paid $32 mil .. is stock up or down?

  • Nasya__NS Nasya🔞 (@Nasya__NS) reported

    @Cold_Warrior_46 At the moment, there are just problems with promotion due to the ban on using paypal, but yes, there have been such cases too

  • supyoscn Supyoscn (@supyoscn) reported

    @Mr_Derivatives I mean I use paypal and venmo just about every single day. Things are starting to trade at levels which are basically saying...nobody is using your product. It's absolutely crazy we go down 10-20% across all tickers cause of the .50 interest hike. Really that was a surprise?

  • dannyc523 danny c (@dannyc523) reported

    @PayPal ditch ACH / stop accepting eChecks. It’s 2022. Verify transactions on blockchains or offer meaningful protections for sellers you’re forcing to be scammed due to PP’s slow processing times. I’m SO done with using you for my business’ transactions; can’t even refund buyer

  • ScottyLovesCLE Scott (@ScottyLovesCLE) reported

    @TrendSpider PayPal is a terrible product now. Closed my account because someone lied and said I didn’t ship something. PayPal took my account 1k negative. Never again. $PYPL

  • henrychisom001 henry chisom nwosu (@henrychisom001) reported

    @UBAGroup section...he was so polite and welcoming and asked what i wanted...i told him my problem and he swiftly attended to me and gave me the card, also helped me in activating and funding it..and i quickly go my money from paypal...UBA is amazing with good customer service and all

    @Jake_Paulx029 @e_galv He is staying in the waterfront mansion of ken howery, of PayPal, while reports of him looking for a new mansion in austin. SpaceX I can’t really argue to much against other than starlink being an overly complex and more expensive way to get internet, and the production problems
