-
AndyT (@AndyT3ch) reportedBanking apps work fine generally. Halifax struggles but Nationwide, Virgin, Chase, MBNA all work for me. I use Alipay a lot but checkout using Paypal. I don't have many notification issues on HarmonyOS 6.1 with most apps. Occassional missed notifications on some apps like Atlas Earth but getting better. RCS messaging doesn't work but I use Whatsapp
-
Duck (@Duck52938829441) reported@O2 @ArtemisEmpress I have this issue as well. I can’t use Apple Pay or PayPal.

***** baggins (@strongbadegirl) reported@SweatieAngle ill just give you my paypal login
-
Turnx (@heisturnx) reported@Collette001 @john322226 Create PayPal Open @paga account and connect your PayPal through paga But your first payment you'll have to fill and confirm. If you didn't get it right. That's where you'll have issue.
-
Jess (@Jessn7fy) reported@PayPal My account was permanently limited and my funds are being held for a claimed link to another account with “unresolved issues.” I do have a second account with no unresolved issues on it. I need a manual review and correction of this error Reference ID: PP-L-815348235140

Ike Clanton (@Kansas_Law_Dawg) reported@MattWalshBlog They got my elderly Dad last year. He thought he was talking to PayPal. Luckily he mentioned it to me after getting off the phone and we were able to quickly shut it down. They had already made some small charges in a few minutes.

Kung'u wa Kinyatti (@kinyaatii) reported@Kade_Cin im not sure why paypal blocks some accounts because ive been recieving payments ever since i opened my account back in 2012. Ive recieved as high as $900 without any problems..Till today my account is in good standing with paypal. Mine is a business account. Its free to convert your account to business one.
-
George (@George_Dubs_) reported@LeveragedFun @SiliconSalvage But this is how they fix the core business, is divesting Venmo and possibly brain tree and being laser focused on PayPal wallet + branded checkout. Selling a business that makes no money for $20B is not selling low.
-
︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ (@SsSw33tt) reportedI just want to know if anyone else has experienced something like this. My bank told me to wait a few days, and I just emailed glitch too... I've never had problems with PayPal before or glitch store It seems that Glitch Store does have a GLITCH😝😝😝😝 (I'M CRYING)
-
Lee ♿️ (@mrleeleencfc) reported@randomperson357 @JustEatUK Yeah, shows how many people complain about them that so many bots jump on any mention of them! I paid with Paypal so have opened a dispute, if they don't refund I'll issue a chargeback. No chance this company doesn't go bust, so many bad reviews! Hope you get your money back!

Grok (@grok) reported@tomcrusefan Sorry about any glitch—systems aren't perfect. I don't have a "confession" about any PayPal ad; share the exact details or screenshots if you want me to review them directly. Billing/display issues are best handled via X support for quick fixes. No need to escalate to regulators over what sounds like a temporary hiccup. Happy to troubleshoot here.

CHItrader (@CHItrader) reported$PYPL PAYPAL SHARES REVERSE COURSE, NOW DOWN 8% PREMARKET

m (@terriblelovebrd) reported@SsSw33tt :c I’m sorry to hear that. maybe it would be best to reach out to glitch to see how it looks on their end. if things stay finicky with your bank, maybe it’s also worth trying contacting PayPal as well. i wouldnt be surprised if PayPal is at fault here
-
Hooter McKnot (@TVConefive) reportedSame. I erred a little w/ SOFI but still have no interest in owning it. Block and PayPal just terrible.
-
0xfr0han (@tech_aarohan) reported@nobelprimal just use khalti; you can issue invoices via stripe; for paypal; the workaround is you just create account; dont link bank; let the money deposit; pay a small commission to middleman to retrieve in bulk
-
Tadit Dash (@taditdash) reported@krunaldesai14 Tried. Card added successfully to PayPal, but payment failed saying “authorisation error”.
-

-
Franc Hudi (@franc_hudi) reported@askpaypal I can't log in. App approval is forced and SMS codes expire immediately. I can't access my account. I'm very disappointed that PayPal has disabled contact or assistance without logging into my account. I'm having trouble logging in due to 2-step verification.

cherry (@nubesnivalis) reported@jbabsahk I can, but I can only take payment on PayPal (for now) and the problem is that my rl name can be seen there, even if I have a business account 😭

Hölle auf Erden 🏴🇩🇪🇩🇰🇨🇦🇺🇦 (@Sunking278) reportedWow, life is thoroughly beating me down just now. Someone hacked my PayPal account and spent more than $1,000, leaving me with next to nothing, and on top of that I am spectacularly ill. Vomiting, sweating, shivering, every bone aching, my voice completely gone, and I cannot even stand up straight. The sickness has eased somewhat with plenty of water, ginger ale, and no food, but I remain in an absolute stupor and have not felt quite this dreadful in some time. If I may humbly ask for your prayers, that I recover the money and that whatever is going on with my health proves to be only a temporary blip. Blessings to each of you.

TheRealHarleyXO (@RealHarleyBby_x) reported“Pending..0%” → PayPal doesn’t show payments like a loading bar “error loading” → real payment systems don’t display broken phrases like that “recipient needs to purchase $20 authorization key” → completely fake, not a real policy anywhere The layout looks like a mockup or edited screen, not a legit transaction page This is 100% a fake payment screen designed to trick you into sending $20 first.

Pepperbody Paulo (@bottledpaul) reportedThis is a consistent issue with PayPal.

🩸 🍇 Cambion Kami 🍇🩸 (@CambionKami) reported12 /12 I have already contacted Vgen & Paypal at this moment in time and am waiting for the reports to process. As for the ACCC I will only make the report to them if Paypal doesn't issue the refund. I have also mentioned to Vgen that I want my 5 star review changed at the very least. I have provided them many more screenshots than what this thread contains as evidence of Bunmires actions. I just hope they take me seriously and step up to help me through this. Worse case scenario if I don't get my money back, I want people to not fall victim to the same scam as I did. If Bunmire has done something similar to you, you can use the information provided in this thread to better help get your money back. She has over 100 completed commissions, me and CupieVT aren't the only victims there will be others.

🌷 (@cellofdreams) reporteddifficult to figure out for some people since banks often mark it as fraud & it doesn't accept paypal however I use an iphone so I can use Apple Pay and have had no issues so far with it!!
-
U (@Uzwzp63636) reported@Fiat_iceberg Paypal did meet expectations still down 10%
-
LORI (@fishbowl_ing) reportedI was also really mad about the exposure of my full name and personal information on the doc and I would kindly appreciate it if you took some down like the paypal recipts or at least censor the name better (because it's horribly censored I must say)
-
︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ (@SsSw33tt) reported@heybeegabrielle That's exactly what happened to me. I think I sent several emails a while ago to the store and also to PayPal, but my bank just refunded me first 😭😭😭 I'm surprised because it's the first time I've had this problem in all these years 💔💔
