    @__kia_3870 Hi, I am unemployed and almost completely out of funds, but I retweeted. PayPal processing is very slow now. Venmo and Cash App offer immediate fund transfers, but PayPal delays for a week or more.

    @lporterPE @CashApp Happened to me with PayPal. My bank stepped in and solved the problem for me when PayPal said they couldn’t. Have you contacted your bank about it? Worth a try!

  • BillyLaughs Billy Laughs (@BillyLaughs) reported

    Just ran into a short problem with me creating my paypal and linking it to my bank account.... But things go be alright

  • Mary19867404 Mary (@Mary19867404) reported

    @OzraeliAvi And there will be many lawsuits to defend which is costly as well as lots of pissed off donors demanding official charge backs from their credit card companies. They may find they have issues now with Visa, Paypal etc. for violating merchant agreements. @gofundme =@gofraudme

  • RasuiMaid2 RasuitheHisuienjoyer (@RasuiMaid2) reported

    WAIT WAITWAITWAITWAIT I MIGHT HAVE FOUND A WAY TO AVOID THE "PAYPAL HATES ME" PROBLEM Although it will take a lot more money I will have to make the comissions prices higher.... I don't really want to but I will have tk BUT STILL I THINK I MADE IT TEARS IN MY EYES

  • hauntedwasabi travis 🐊 || 🌞🌛 大人だけ! (@hauntedwasabi) reported

    @albedoscum I'm pretty sure cash app and PayPal are thin ice because the person paying you can't say it's for something nsfw in the comments/note of the payment. But I've paid for nsfw zines and stuff with seemingly no issues on the zine's end

  • DatKid16 All 😁 here! (@DatKid16) reported

    @BTStreleckis @njmvp29 @Wario64 They are like cdkeys. I use PayPal with both sites when I purchase and I've never had an issue. I think the 1st time I used my debit card and I was charged done international fee so after that I only used PayPal.

  • trexeiifn Trexeii (selling 0 arena points accounts) (@trexeiifn) reported

    You can pay with paypal to buy accs, thats no problem.

  • NotThtDavidBell Dave Bell (@NotThtDavidBell) reported

    @JennoVmarie The WWEF is trying to resolve the PayPal issue. We heard from several people that when they tried to donate via PayPal on Tiltify they received an error message. They apologize for the problem.

  • yebyen yebyen 💉💪3️⃣ (@yebyen) reported

    @fazzam_eth How many people who are against crypto writ large simply have never been burned by PayPal and can't imagine that ever happening to them? How many people have honestly never been burned by a bank? My hand is down, and I see your hands going down also. Stop pretending this is fine.

  • hamzacelik21 Professor (@hamzacelik21) reported

    @jbsteelers36 @JamesDoris19 How much was Netflix 3 months ago and now? PayPal or square? All almost 50-70 down!

  • Glittertooth Mister Commissions (@Glittertooth) reported

    @kofi_button I just deleted my account after hearing you got people’s PayPal’s taken down after seeing them post porn on their Twitter that wasn’t even monetized with your services. That’s not stated outright in your TOS but you left it vauge enough that you could do that!

  • Strawberrypawbs Ichigo🍓 (@Strawberrypawbs) reported

    I took down my PayPal cause I don't want extra money from everyone <3 I love u guys

  • lmmrfly42 Hi I'm Lucas (@lmmrfly42) reported

    @pulte Ain't got no cash app or PayPal. Not sure how you would help me. Could need money yes but I'm healthy (physically) and I have food ect. Would it use to buy new pc parts since my old computer is broken.

  • nabi_nadahoy Nabi 🇨🇴Lucha Por La Patria🇺🇸 (@nabi_nadahoy) reported

    @PennyLa60890054 @onairpharmacy When u place the order they send a separate “personal” paypal link to pay, and ask u NOT to mention anything in ur order bc it would get flagged. No problem with customs. I looked up “IverJohn” company and seemed to be a good one and has a GMP cert (u want that). It was easy.

  • amna_hashmi Amna H. Hashmi (@amna_hashmi) reported

    @healthbjk Not an exact comp but PayPal is the plaid for e-commerce - you don’t need a Plaid because enough people have PayPal accounts that paying with PayPal is sufficient for the “I don’t remember my password/I don’t want to pull out my credit card” problem

  • ActivateStrong 🧐Conspiracy Chick 🇺🇸 (@ActivateStrong) reported

    @PaulMarner4 @GiveSendGo @PayPal can go down the drain next.

  • jeetoza1 jeet oza (@jeetoza1) reported

    @AskPayPal Hey paypal!!! I had created an account in UK and now I am in india wanted to login but I don't have access to the mobile number anymore. Please suggest an alternative way to login or to update the contact details of my account. It would be a great help.

  • DanParratt Dan Parratt (@DanParratt) reported

    @nextofficial Emailed customer support in the end - although initially quick to respond, asked for info already included in OG email & therefore didn't cancel order in time. Now have to figure out how to return item I didn't want, just bc website has no summary page after paypal login 👎

  • mattwiesenfeld Matt (@mattwiesenfeld) reported

    @sal_hutton @brucekenerson1 That’s what I do, this only comes up in outing situations. But I tell people I have, Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, cash app. I’ve really had some some funny conversations chasing down my money when I’m not paid properly.
