Syed Faiz (@copywriterfaiz) reportedPaypal is threatening close my account although I regularly login by saying that I don't login at all!!! What the hell @PayPal @AskPayPal
-
Ronald Britton (@Ronaldp38dy) reported@JayJayasuriya Permanent shutdown with zero explanation is such a hard place to be, no reason means no way to even fix whatever triggered it. Hope @AskPayPal actually gives you something concrete soon.

daily lelouch (@lelouchbot) reportedHi everyone! unfortunately I’m going through some financial difficulties due to personal issues and am struggling to make ends meet. bc of this I’m reaching out to ask for your help. If you have some spare cash and would like to assist me, I’m leaving my PayPal and Pix details 👇

GrapheneOS (@GrapheneOS) reported@TechX1320 @linuxuser1996 PayPal works on GrapheneOS with the per-app compatibility mode. It recently started requiring disabling secure spawning but works fine with the other defaults. It's a bug in PayPal's anti-tampering code and they'll likely fix it soon. It's unrelated to it not working elsewhere.

A (@AJBko) reported@Xoom Hi, I need help with a card verification issue. PayPal has confirmed my Mastercard was successfully updated and is valid, but Xoom still says it can’t verify the card. Could you please help? Thank you!

Patrick ⚓️🇺🇸 (@lowtide1985) reported@stphnmaher It’s gonna be a little more involved than you think- If Canada’s goal is true technological independence from the United States, a Canadian sovereign cloud is only the first piece of an enormous puzzle: Canada would have to replace or become independent of Amazon/AWS, Microsoft, Google and Oracle for cloud; NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Qualcomm, Broadcom, Marvell, Micron, Texas Instruments, Analog Devices and GlobalFoundries for processors, AI accelerators, memory, networking, communications and other semiconductors; Dell, HPE, Supermicro, IBM, Western Digital and Seagate for servers, storage and enterprise hardware; Cisco, Arista, Juniper/HPE, F5 and Ciena for networking and communications infrastructure; Microsoft, Apple, Google, Adobe, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Oracle, Workday, Intuit and Broadcom/VMware for operating systems, productivity, mobile platforms, databases, CRM, ERP, virtualization and enterprise applications; Palo Alto Networks, CrowdStrike, Fortinet, Zscaler, Okta, Cloudflare, Cisco and Microsoft for cybersecurity, identity and internet protection; OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Microsoft and NVIDIA for frontier AI models, development platforms and AI infrastructure; GitHub/Microsoft, IBM/Red Hat, Docker, Datadog, Snowflake, MongoDB, Confluent, Elastic and HashiCorp/IBM for software development, containers, databases, data management and infrastructure automation; Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Stripe, Apple and Google for major payment and digital-wallet infrastructure; Apple, Google and Qualcomm for smartphones and mobile ecosystems; Akamai and Cloudflare for content delivery and internet infrastructure; and, critically, Cadence and Synopsys for semiconductor-design software plus Applied Materials, Lam Research and KLA for the equipment needed to manufacture advanced chips. Even that doesn’t completely solve the problem, because Canadian, European, Japanese, Taiwanese and Korean products frequently incorporate American chips, software, patents, design tools or manufacturing equipment somewhere in their supply chains.

Jedda Cohen (@c22204) reported@robertromano @JonMalin 1. Go to PayPal Resolution Center, select the transaction, choose Report a Problem, then choose "Significantly Not as Described." Don't select "Unauthorized Activity," as PayPal will instantly deny the claim once they verify you authorized initial payment. Upload evidence. 1/2

GrapheneOS (@GrapheneOS) reported@JKhrushche10538 @linuxuser1996 We already provided a clear solution for the bug recently introduced by PayPal above. If you don't tell us what isn't working then there's no way for us to directly help with it. We can only guess what you're trying to do and what's not set up properly to cause an issue.

Aquila (@LeoAquila_) reported@TheRealCalvin19 @WhisperMute First I gotta fix my paypal, which is hard because paypal sucks 🙃

NDN Silver (@WingsNDNSilver) reportedCindy is out of the hospital and has wound-care treatment tomorrow. No idea yet on the medical bills, but thanks to y'all, she's down to needing $430 to repair her car: PayPal: @ cindysalazar435 Venmo: @ tiocindy42

Mr. NoPony (@NoPonySpecial) reported@Mokona_VT I got a notification from PayPal that they were delivered I didn't even know they were shipped at all. But now I have a problem with mine watching me sleep after eating on my Gumbies just normal gumbies.

Derek Ashauer (@DerekAshauer) reportedClaude just paid for itself today... Found a bug in my store. A "30% off your first year" code was taking 30% off every year, forever. Claude found 2 other codes had the same problem. Gave Claude read access to my WP install over SSH plus temporary Stripe and PayPal keys. It found all affected subscriptions across both processors, cross-checked what the gateways were actually billing against what my database thought, and fixed each one. $1,782/year recovered. About 30 minutes once I knew something was wrong. Doing that by hand across two payment processors would have eaten my week.

SOFTBUNNYHOUSE +16 (@SoftBunnyHouse) reported@Charlie088571 @YellowBunFeet Besides, towards the end of my NSFW trayectory, I lost my payment methods due to some stupid PayPal issue, and well, I had even less desire to continue. As I said before, it was a hobby, not a passion.

iX (@JimManahan) reported@Euphoria_LiVT wdym paypal doesnt work, all my international purchases are via paypal and not a single one of them ever failed or had issues.
-
Meiya✨🍉 (@exqired_) reported@BreazyBash Tryin to snatch one but PayPal is giving me so many issues it says it blocked my bank from some bullshit, all I did was try linking my bank 💔💔 I just want my gem💔💔
-
˚ʚ♡ Euphoria Li ♡ɞ˚ 🦋🌙🏮 (@Euphoria_LiVT) reported@JimManahan Receiving payments restricts your account. If you use PayPal for purchases meaning money going out from your linked cards, then there's no problem. Receiving payments from clients is a different discussion, especially when your account is new.

Clover 🍀 (@fourleaaff) reporteddown paypal?

Chaos🔞Comms Open (@ChaosReverb) reported@Aerea_caeles If you're referring to what happened to what happens around February when my PayPal account was stolen by my ex-bestfriend, I asked the clients to please request refunds from PayPal immediately several times because I never had access to that account again. I explained the topic in detail here and on Instagram. Some people completed the process and received their money back without any problems. There were 2 people who had problems with their banks, one ghosted me when I tried to explain to the that they should insist with PayPal, another commission never responded to my progress reports, and another asked me to do their commission because I think the bank didn't want to give them their money back and I did it without any problem ª In fact, I still have the records.

Dhark (@traceytina16) reportedMy paypal mpesa issue was resolved finally. Thank God!

puré🎡🐐 (@komemerda) reportedIm having some issues so i might have to close the keychain store soon. Shot them an email to see if it's solvable but they basically make me take payments in PayPal but then pay for production with card only so with all the transfer fees and conversion I am losing money lol 😭
-
Nigel J Bevans Photo (@NJBDP) reported@hmefsww Hi, unfortunately I closed my website store down as they were charging a ridiculous amount to sell things. To keep prices reasonably I had to find an alternative and only have eBay at moment. I could do it via paypal cutting out ebay if you would like?

Axia (@axiatechie) reportedIf someone hacks your Gmail, they don't need your passwords. They can reset everything. Bank. Instagram. Apple ID. Crypto. PayPal. Password manager. Your Gmail isn't email. It's the master key to your entire life. Here's how to lock it down in 10 minutes: 🧵

JerseyTFs (@Jersey_TFs) reportedCause if its an issue with paypal and stuff I will more then gladly open up more options
-
Potat0 (@PoPaP0) reportedRANT Why must PayPal hate new accounts. I just created a business account confirm if my account is good, costumer support said yes. Proceeds to hammer me with money stuck there for days. Doesn't even tell you what's the main problem. Man this sht sucks.

Unc (@UncSupply) reported@phantasyftw @phantasyftw I'll paypal you 20 bucks if you tell Joe someone's at the front door and go push the GREEN button on the server rack for us right now.

Briteworx👻👽 (@briteworx_arts) reportednot to mention that 5-7$ gets immediately eaten by Ko-fi and PayPal fees on top of taxes and stuff I'm not working for pennies so you can still act ungrateful as hell

Radim Hernych (@hernych) reportedIs it just me having this problem with @PayPal ? Historically, Ybug has been accepting EUR payments via PayPal. Back then, it seemed like a great idea with "free" withdrawals to a bank account, right? Big mistake. Turns out PayPal refuses to withdraw funds in any currency other than your company's local currency (CZK for a Czech-based company). And of course, they charge a massive currency conversion fee to do so. Since I don't want or need these funds in CZK, my money is effectively trapped. Anyone else in the same boat?

🌙 Baiyue & Maowa!! 🐈⬛ (FLOOF model out NOW!!) (@BaiyueMaowa) reported@RedMaster787 With the whole misandrist review drama + paypal issues I had, VGen probably is so tired of me HAHA I would hate to bother them again for something that is so silly 😭
-
anne flynn (@sliabhconn) reported@Salome__Salome_ @defan68 There seems to be an issue with PayPal, maybe check it out?

jinowns (@Jinowns87) reportedHere's another neat trick I do every year. If you have paypal, you can break down the entire cost into 4 payments. Meaning you pay 25% percent now while PayPal pays the merchant the entire amount and then you can make payments every 2 weeks. Doooo iiiittttt!!
