mtu_Qutu (@Kailemiaa) reported@JoshOO1J Mimi nami PayPal closed two of my accounts with more than $1400 in 2024, nikawaandikia but wakasema their bot is final... I sat down and looked for a loophole in their system and after 1 year nikapata. Let's just say hakuna mwezi huisha kama sijatoa $500

Baba Dennis (@nibabadennis) reportedI do a lot of freelance work, never had a problem getting paid this way. Plus if you're freelancing on sites that limit payment options there's likely reasons for it and i figure PayPal has been lobbied to lock accounts because people keep circumventing regional locks on said sites

z a r a (@orioless552) reported@yoongischoco Hi this is jist dumb but we can pay through debit card? There is some problem with my paypal. Also any tips to make the process faster?
-
John Doe (@benny_bets33) reported@robpizzola I got a new phone and had to re-login to PayPal. I verified the email, and phone number but they wouldn’t allow me to get back into my account until I verified a credit card number that I haven’t had in years and no longer know. I guess I’m done with PayPal

akinyi (@euniceouma) reported@ekmokaya @xysist Facts I had PayPal while in Kenya kept being flagged on I had to close the account I opened one in USA and has no issues till today
-
Emie your degen Chaos Gremlin💖 (@EmiEinjeru) reported@TwitchSupport @Twitch Really? You have a creator who has things set up as you suggested and their payment method was still hacked. Wouldn’t it make sense to maybe block a payee when you know they are fraudulent? I understand with PayPal it’s hard to clawback but this is kinda BS. It’s a known issue that creators are seeing over the last few months and it feels like nothing has been done to heighten security to help better block fraudulent activity. You are a big corporation please do better

El. ⛧ (@samhainsmist) reportedPayPal stop playing and fix my account already

Rose 🌱 (@RosefinchZz) reported@nenedotpng I had that problem a few days ago, but it eventually got resolved. i think it happens when you offer a service but don't have shipping tracking? paypal is the devil

Jesse Lover (@iwasjohnlennon) reportedIt's really only a matter of time before I lose everything. Everything always goes down hill. The amount of jobs and opportunities I've lost. Good chunk of my income lost right before I saved up for gaming and now I don't get cash back. PayPal might be banned after this refund

Might be Crim (@zecrimster_) reported@Lexalix_ i remember getting an adopt from them like 2 years ago and waited days for them to simply just upload a file and send them to me, i feel like i only got the full files because i told them i felt scammed and told them i was going to issue a paypal refund :/
-
Jeshurun Baraka (@KeleleSaysKE) reported@ekmokaya I have a genuine question. The paypal issue nimeishi kuiskia since 2017. Why do people in KE still use it when kuna other platforms?
-
Mark (@MarkAustin24) reported@JustEatIE Reported a non-delivery to Just Eat. Support ignored repeated requests for proof of delivery and sent only template responses about a 48-hour rule, with no investigation into the issue. No evidence was provided. I had to escalate to PayPal, which refunded me.

CheapChina (@AndikaVizu31091) reportedLet's be honest with this PayPal issue. Fraud has brought us here. Si ati ni mbaya kutafta riziki, but we're not clean.
-
The Outlaw (@MOBDuty) reported@JoshOO1J @kisiagi_1 There's only one problem with PayPal. You don't use personal PayPal for business. If you want to receive Money from individuals, make that PayPal business the minute you open it. Provide proof of business and you'll be good to go.

Hermit Grit (@shadow_Seen) reported@ntvkenya The core issue here is a total lack of regulatory teeth at home. If PayPal arbitrarily froze an American citizen's funds without clear legal cause, they’d be staring down a class-action lawsuit and federal regulatory scrutiny.But because our own data protection authorities and

jonny donuts (@JonnyD0nuts) reported@j6trader @PhathomResearch @middlemarketcpa You’ve done nothing but attack anyone with a differing view. Same way the PayPal guys were. You’re sitting here highly convicted in a name you’ve pitched since 2023… incessantly. You’re down in it. The market is up a LOT in the same time frame. Yet you refuse to ack anyone’s pts

NoLies (@nopostinglies) reportedFurthermore, their old PayPal link has been taken down, but I have the description saved. It went to "Ddumba Derrick": "Donate to DDUMBA DERRICK WE CAN CREATE A NEW LIFE FROM NOTHING AND CREATE NEW COMMUNITY BY DONATING TO UPLIFT THE INNOCENTS. DONATE TODAY. BE A HERO"

Henry Anadi (@PNLWriterTrader) reported2. Payment gateways that do not support Nigeria. Stripe does not work here. PayPal has restrictions. Wise has limits. Every invoice is a logistics problem your international client never thinks about. But you solve it. Every single time.

Gerald Mansfield (@MansfieldG33892) reportedPayPal why am I having trouble accessing my account.
-
Mokaya (@ekmokaya) reportedI have PayPal accounts in Kenya and the EU, and the difference is ridiculous. The Kenyan one gets blocked, restricted, and frozen so often that it is basically useless. Even after sending the documents they ask for and answering their endless questions, the account still gets treated like a crime scene. They keep escalating the documents needed to keep the Kenyan account operational and to send and receive basic money. Surprisingly, I have never had this problem with my EU account, yet I am the same person operating both accounts. The experience is similar for many fellow Africans I have spoken to. Bottom line is that PayPal just gives African users the worst of its experience. I hope the new @PayPal CEO @EnriqueJLores

FastSpring (@FastSpring) reportedThe Nexus team described periods where stopping fraud became "the primary concern of the company." After moving to FastSpring as their merchant of record, that's no longer their problem to solve. Payments, taxes, anti-fraud, PayPal integration: all handled.

ARMY: Prpl Phoenix ⁷ (@ArmyPrpl) reported@moonrisxn @bts_aus Don’t refresh. Refresh only when you go into the waiting room. And then don’t touch it. The countdown goes fast so watch it. Use PayPal. Using the CC slowed things down too much. Have an idea of where you want seats before going in. Enter weverse # when you select 1st seat. 🍀🤞
