    “I can’t tribute today goddess” “My PayPal is not working” “can I pay you at the end of the month?” F*CK OFF !!! #finD bratty goddess humanatm paypig cashslave

  • UnmotivatedPom Official Sleepy Boi™ (@UnmotivatedPom) reported

    @StopTweetingMia This is even more wild and feels more intentionally malicious because I've had my PayPal for like 8 years and it's under my /childhood nickname/ like, my name is decidedly not "Chibi" and they've had zero issues w it (and I use my account professionally)

  • ASilverhand ⚧️ Airie Whyte☭ (@ASilverhand) reported

    So, is anyone else having trouble with PayPal today?

  • RedLadyJewel Lashette @ Scarlet Moon Creations (@RedLadyJewel) reported

    @MissRhonnie I think they only accept Paypal from US buyers, fyi. But they have everything. Stickers, clothes, DVDs, photo albums, books, etc. So you may want to ask your niece to narrow it down.

  • ReianaSmiley Reiana Smiley (@ReianaSmiley) reported

    Jake_Randall_YT So, I want to get the PS5 from Target, but the only problem is, I'm not old enough to use PayPal; I have to be 18 or older. Any alternative options?

  • DodgyTrousers DodgyTrousers (@DodgyTrousers) reported

    @grantsclay @WatchTheBreaks It says %1$s. I don’t think it is saying 1% is the fee. Maybe a glitch or even the sellers user name? Even if the seller asks the buyer to pay the fees, which we agree is against the TOS, at least PayPal still gets their cut, this way, which is still better for them than F&F.

  • realhack001 TEAM RECOVERY ACCOUNT (@realhack001) reported

    @willowroses @AskPayPal Kindly message me to help resolve your issue

  • JPressIt JP (@JPressIt) reported

    @Billyhottakes Someone got my info, stole my number and used it to try and reset my PayPal account. PayPal has a text for new password feature. If you have PayPal, login and disconnect your credit cards.

  • ZpxySZN DL Zpxy (@ZpxySZN) reported

    @KodyLZR Down any amount send to my PayPal

  • BonafideBreaks BonafideBreaks (@BonafideBreaks) reported

    My Venmo & PayPal were both shut down again. I only took G/S payments on PayPal and still got jacked. I don’t understand

  • JulianDelphikii brian (@JulianDelphikii) reported

    @D71018 @Jake_Randall_YT I spent like 1.5 hours and got one. They took my money from my PayPal then 45 min later cancelled it. The agent told me they were having a lot of “communication” issues with “third party payment sites” like PayPal...

  • southpole201 Mike Morales (@southpole201) reported

    Maybe in December if the crypto market gets better by that time. I will still use PayPal as payment for artists I work with but will also use crypto to pay if does artists I work with use that as payment. It will use USD coin which doesn’t go down but will give 15% APY

    @garyblack00 Exactly ! And $tsla will be dragged down to 400ish if diamond HODL $btc. Detaching from Elon’s ex- PayPal mindset from current Tesla holdings.

    @david_andreatta You don’t know that. It could be just a simple PayPal error.

  • alexpazzy EZBC Pazzy 😼 (@alexpazzy) reported

    @theguywiththes6 @jonkarta1 I didn’t even bother messaging them. Went straight to PayPal to try to get their account shut down.

  • peachmilfshake Peach Swisher Pt. 3 (@peachmilfshake) reported

    @RageKnows @CDraggy8DHD It’s not perfect but it’s a safe way for SWers to get paid without worrying about our accounts getting shut down and our money taken like cash app, PayPal, venmo etc :/

  • admjmaddox 🎧🎮 Tater Terry 🎮🎧 (@admjmaddox) reported

    I'm seeing a LOT of posts about @VenmoSupport , @PayPal , @UberEats , and others financial / payment processing not working. What's going on??

  • Bramvg1 'Scythe / Bram (@Bramvg1) reported

    @azefs @AskPayPal yep, greedy & their site is slow and annoying af

  • benz145 Ben Lang (@benz145) reported

    @DocChac To your point, PayPal doesn’t do what I described, and they can’t really, because Apple has such locked down hardware/software.

  • ChefTatro A. Tatro (@ChefTatro) reported

    @AskPayPal Ok, but I've done this before and each time there is a new excuse or issue on your end that ultimately results in me out off money. It's embarrsing this has gone on this long

  • kates_baked CupKate (@kates_baked) reported

    @zachbussey Ummmm....I have more of an issue that the streamer can just look at our real names if we donate to them. Why Paypal/Twitch doesn't have an option to turn that off is beyond me.

  • sarabiany Abu Adib #FreeSyria (@sarabiany) reported

    @wyoumans This has been a big issue for Syrians this past decade w/ many financial institutions- from @PayPal to @CapitalOne. Either flagging payments w Syria in description or even freezing bank accounts for no other reason except for being Syrian- often with lengthy processes to unblock

  • Pohretra Pohretra (@Pohretra) reported

    Patreon not letting me upgrade a subscription... It's not on Paypal or my bank's side, because I could add money to my Zenmarket account with no problem.

    @AskPayPal Only happens to some of their customers..it is a PayPal issue grrrr

  • Purring_Rachel Rachel Wants S3 of ZEP (@Purring_Rachel) reported

    @hayleyKTM Ugh! My dad has had several issues with PayPal similar. He still gets emails and stuff from them bothering him

  • pmnottoli Baseball Card Haven (@pmnottoli) reported

    @Cardcollector2 @mikeyBcards I am only using PayPal right now. I didn't get anything from them but saw everyone else having problems.
