Paypal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • ivan30ad Ivan A Monroy (@ivan30ad) reported from Pico Rivera, California

    @PayPal I ordered something on April 5th and put in a complaint on April 29th and PayPal refuses to resolve my issue. I first wanted PayPal to tell the vendor to resend me my order again since I still haven't received it but now I want my money back. PayPal has terrible service

  • KhalSquid 🜄 Tiff Rodriguez (@KhalSquid) reported from Wahiawā, Hawaii

    @AskPayPal Still wasn't help by the websites support staff. I had my account hacked & money stolen and paypal says I should contact this random company over it instead of fixing the issue or just pay it. 🙄 it's not safe to have to call a random company in another state & give private info

  • pjoakland pjinpdx (@pjoakland) reported from Portland, Oregon

    @houzz That’s the problem - nothing from you just a charge to my PayPal acct.

  • retailfuturist The Retail Futurist (@retailfuturist) reported from Woodbridge, England

    Now that the issue has finally been resolved and I’m much, much calmer, can I just say that I will never ever ever never ever ever ever never again use @PayPal Thanks

  • Nehemie_BS WANGOLO (@Nehemie_BS) reported from Medford, Massachusetts

    @lilsnowbabe Is there any other way to donate, as it seems that the PayPal link is not working.

  • sourav_speaks Sourav Kundu (@sourav_speaks) reported from Pānchuria, West Bengal

    @AskPayPal couldn’t sign up in my account, don’t know how an unknown number comes for sending OTP to login. Though that is not at all my number. May be my paypal account has been compromised. Pls fix it!

  • MelissaStiehler Melissa Stiehler (@MelissaStiehler) reported from Topeka, Kansas

    @Cole4Kansas @Topeka_Police Keep trying. This has been happening with PayPal over and over bc everybody opening their wallets to help people in the streets. It’s a good problem to have.

  • TruCRIGGA CHAD (@TruCRIGGA) reported from Seattle, Washington

    **** You @Chime and your up to 2 days early deposits so far two months in a row LATE as **** never had this problem with PayPal prepaid JS ...

  • bethanyjanelowe Bethy✨ (@bethanyjanelowe) reported from Huntingdon, England

    @AskPayPal I’ve tried reporting an issue 4 times and it’s saying error everytime. Also haven’t had a message back on here, if someone could please reach out then that would be great.

  • KristenAyanah Kristen Ayanah 💋🇯🇲 (@KristenAyanah) reported from Irvington, New Jersey

    PayPal needs to fix their site .

  • KhalSquid 🜄 Tiff Rodriguez (@KhalSquid) reported from Wahiawā, Hawaii

    It's so insane that @PayPal fraud department is closed down. Don't trust anything with your money if they aren't going to have people there to protect you from fraud.

  • anitazavrrr anitazavrrr (@anitazavrrr) reported from Louisville, Kentucky

    @elizabethcatte hey, I just tried to donate and got an error from paypal about the org’s email address just FYI

  • sourav_speaks Sourav Kundu (@sourav_speaks) reported from Sluice Gate, West Bengal

    @AskPayPal couldn’t sign up in my account, don’t know how an unknown number comes for sending OTP to login. Though that is not at all my number. May be my paypal account has been compromised. Pls fix it!

  • KhalSquid 🜄 Tiff Rodriguez (@KhalSquid) reported from Wahiawā, Hawaii

    There's a reason my bank account wouldnt let 7 charges in 30 minutes that go over 2k go through. It's obviously fraud and you need to fix my account @PayPal I have been messaging everyday for almost 2 weeks now and nothing is being done.

  • Wendy08737951 Wendy Bowers (@Wendy08737951) reported from Martinsburg, West Virginia

    @coviiiiid19 @MammaKas101 My PayPal is messing up and I’m trying to fix it.

  • KnitChick1979 MJ @ Quaran-Con (@KnitChick1979) reported from Norridge, Illinois

    @jurijuri I love PayPal. I use it whenever possible because I know if there’s problems, they will go to bat for me. And have a few times in the 21+ years I’ve had my account.

  • icantbtamed Molly-Rae (@icantbtamed) reported from Trowell, England

    Never seem to have good experiences with @PayPal 😫 spent my entire day trying to add a bank account and it’s just not working @AskPayPal 🤨

  • antoniocasanez Antonio Casanez (@antoniocasanez) reported from Camberwell, England

    @AskPayPal I have been replying to you and you keep ignoring my request, I would like a manager to get in touch to he this resolved, you have taken a few in error, I pointed this out to you and you won’t refund me 😡 horrible way to treat someone who has been loyal member.

  • BuddElizabeth Elizabeth budd (@BuddElizabeth) reported from Hillsborough Park, California

    I’ve been having problems receiving two payouts and I see from the community this is a regular occurrence. I’ve tried since May 18th and yesterday I was told “case closed” but they wouldn’t provide me with the transaction numbers PayPal needs to find the payouts.

  • StuOggy Stu Oggy (@StuOggy) reported from St Helens, England

    @AskeBay Had to clams through PayPal due to the errors with eBay saying items have not been payed for but my bank account and PayPal said otherwise.

  • saranbhoy Owen McGlone (@saranbhoy) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    From @NatWest_Help have told me that it’s clearly been hacked and @AskPayPal are sure to sort it out ! Is there anyone that deals with this type of issue , very very frustrating x

  • jarrodmjohnson Jarrod Johnson (@jarrodmjohnson) reported from Round Rock, Texas

    ******* PayPal. If you pre ordered any CDs or cassettes through the website and got your money back it’s because @PayPal is horseshit at communication. I’ll fix the problem I found that they failed to tell me about and you can make your pre orders again.

  • SusanChambers21 Susan chambers (@SusanChambers21) reported from Irving, Texas

    @pulte PayPal thank you. I would pay bills and fix our house. We have a water leak.

  • cate8cate 💛 cate 💛 (@cate8cate) reported from Salt Lake City, Utah

    @tayswraps i use both and they’re both great! and i’ve heard a lot of people have had issues with paypal but i haven’t heard anyone having issues with stripe. stripe takes a few just like paypal so there’s not difference there.
