    @tefnetdoug I made another mistake, and I was trying to sell and refund via Paypal through my website. The Paypal refunds are too expensive. I now see the different issues of my previous campaign. Let's let it rest for a while. I am ******* tired.

  • Azronety Az (@Azronety) reported

    @_xans if you contact the paypal support team on the issue xan, they should give you a "one time transaction" which means you will be able to recover the money you've losted but your account will still be disabled. it happened to syphicc

    @_pelegrin_ having a break to reconsider factors, is always a good method, and I agree w/you, paypal is an issue in this - you put a lot of work in this book, something you can register as your plus and real product value - art is not a bargain, so take your time

    @Buck1994k @ShieldVoC @AskPayPal Log in to your account ONLINE - not in app - you'll get much more information there. It's usually an issue of verifying your address and account

  • milkyway911 Zia (@milkyway911) reported

    @TheBirthdayBook @ListADA420 @PayPal Ok, take advantage of my typo. Its “eUTXO” and thats the issue. Charles is a dropout punk from an unknown school. No envy there.

  • DWhitmanBTC Richard “****” Whitman ∞/21M (@DWhitmanBTC) reported

    @Netpositive5 @TralfamadorianH @econoar Bitcoin isn’t here b/c PayPal & Visa we’re too slow. ETH is really selling as solution to throughput lol

  • Elliott0924 Chasing Hits Sportscards (@Elliott0924) reported from Mobile, Alabama

    @SlabCity10 They’re having Paypal payment issues. You can ship it to them and they’ll call you when they receive it for payment. Some new thing PayPal has chosen to do. SGC is working thru it.

  • travis_dragon00 Travis the Dragon 💙 #ABetterABK #Spyro4 #BLM (@travis_dragon00) reported

    @BubblesZap_ Thank you buddy X3 I’m still trying to commission a model from someone. I’m just having trouble doing so because PayPal wouldn’t let me send payments which I still need to figure out because I’m pretty sure I still have the appropriate amount.

  • TheBirthdayBook Thomas Rezek (@TheBirthdayBook) reported

    @milkyway911 @ListADA420 @PayPal eUTxO is amazing because it can predict transaction fees accurately and users pay no fee for failed transactions. It also prevents a whole class of problems Ethereum is fighting now like front-running, never-confirmed transactions and MEV.

    PayPal is the human error"

    if you had issues donating to me via streamlabs for the past month, uhhhhhh... yeah, the paypal address that was given to me to connect with was typo'd. 🙃 i didn't typo it, but the person who gave me the address typo'd it (and I have no way of knowing it wasn't correct).

  • DWhitmanBTC Richard “****” Whitman ∞/21M (@DWhitmanBTC) reported

    @Netpositive5 @TralfamadorianH @econoar Repeat this over and over again until you understand: Bitcoin isn’t here b/c PayPal & Visa were too slow.

  • DigestAndroid Android Digest (@DigestAndroid) reported

    @ContractorsPov @Limubai_bol @oppo I just researched the company a little on Reddit. It looks like they are legit. Some people received their devices on time... But there were definitely some people that had issues. If you use the PayPal though apparently they are good about protecting you.
