  • brujicita jane castro (@brujicita) reported

    @wowcher You guys need to sort out my problem or I’m going to report you to trading standards also on the PayPal payment page the web address you give for help is not valid which I think is against their t&cs so either refund me or give me what I paid for. Customer service is a joke

  • etherealdreami 💚💚 Resonance 🖤재민🖤헨드리🖤!! (@etherealdreami) reported

    @WanKilzzz I am actually planning to buy. The problem is they only accept paypal. I m looking in my fris who have paypal acc now

  • silestanix Mr H (@silestanix) reported

    Yo @PayPalUK @AskPayPal , why is it that you guys take instant payment for goods from my bank account, but if a merchant issues a refund that shows in my PayPal acct, it takes ages to get back in my bank account? Come on its 2020 not 1999, it's all online, so no covid excuses.

  • bayho_claire Claire Antonio (@bayho_claire) reported

  • Th30neW Th30neWorthy (@Th30neW) reported

    @Jake_Randall_YT Did anyone else get the issue where it would deny any form of payment? PayPal wouldn’t load and just gave an error message and every debit/Visa card would error as well. Idk how I got one eventually but it worked after 30 minutes of nonstop tries.

    PayPal sucks kept saying there was a problem.had in cart and just couldn't win. I'm tired of losing.

  • ghard Yrjänä Rankka @ghard@mastodon.social (@ghard) reported

    @stablecross @RainerJoswig @nsiivola Paypal support rep told me I'd tried to donate $0 and recommended trying another browser (used Firefox with NoScript turned off on that tab for good measure.) Looks like a form parms issue. Maybe look into an alternative funding method?

  • RichJMoney ⚜️RichJMoney⚜️🇺🇸🇦🇲🏳️‍🌈 (@RichJMoney) reported

    @AskeBay the managed payments FAQ says that nothing would happen until eBay activates my account & I would be notified in advance. But the day I added a bank account it immediately switched. Given that funds in PayPal are instant & yours take a week, this is a problem for me.

  • hontokki hon 🐰 doodlin’ (@hontokki) reported

    Couldn’t login to my paypal due to security reasons 💀 gonna have to use my sister’s then for my commissions i hope it’s alright

  • WanKilzzz Kilzzz🌸 (@WanKilzzz) reported

    @etherealdreami yes same with me. i hv problem with paypal. if you know any free slot please let me know🙏

  • TigraWatanabe Princess Fluttershy (@TigraWatanabe) reported

    @MissMixi Is your Paypal an Business Account? Usual private Accounts are for small Ammounts and rare uses of PP. As Artist you need an Business Account, for regular Transactions and bigger Ammounts of Money. If your Account is not business, maybe thats the Problem.

  • etherealdreami 💚💚 Resonance 🖤재민🖤헨드리🖤!! (@etherealdreami) reported

    @WanKilzzz I m now trying to look for a free slot + fixing the paypal issue. U too let me know if u found any.

  • Laumania Laumania (@Laumania) reported

    @AskPayPal I never received this "PSD2" phone call - so can't access my accound. Calling you ends up with a bot telling me you cant help over phone and to send a message. Can't send a msg without being logged in! I can see a lot others have same problem!

  • JoshTheJeeper Josh Long (@JoshTheJeeper) reported

    @linuswilson I had it carted. The app kept giving error for payment. c.c. and PayPal error. Eventually it removed it from cart and was oos.

  • thedynomizer I Produce Music & eat 🔥 cheetos 👾👽🙀 (@thedynomizer) reported

  • Th30neW Th30neWorthy (@Th30neW) reported

    @bythehornz @Jake_Randall_YT Did anyone else get the error where it kept saying “there’s been an error” when choosing PayPal OR Visa card? I eventually got one but for 25 minutes I couldn’t “place order”.

  • brandscincy Mom (@brandscincy) reported

    Woke up to someone scamming $900 out of my account thanks to @PayPal 🤨🤨. Terrible timing

  • mtnaz927 Matman (@mtnaz927) reported

    @Bougie__gal @Target Laptop going, my phone with the App too. Tried my card and paypal. "Unexpected error" for both about 30 times. This entire situation is beyond ridiculous at this point.

  • ChatmanTanaye nayhem_tv (@ChatmanTanaye) reported

    @PS5_Restockk Lmfao Wow Target!!! Had NO problem getting the XBOX in cart at all!! As soon as I clicked on the link to the XBOX, it had PayPal waiting for me! Target is trying to get rid of these ASAP! Didn’t have to go through any extra steps with the XBOX! Still sitting in my cart lol.

  • mrheadquarters1 MrHeadquarters (@mrheadquarters1) reported

    @linuswilson Couldn’t secure .. the cart .. kept getting errors on PayPal and my card.. with a something went wrong

  • CrangessB CrangessMcBasketball (@CrangessB) reported

    @emmabelle63 @Jake_Randall_YT Same exact thing. So frustrating. The error message made no sense. Kept rechecking stock to make sure. Diff stores. Debit card. Cc. Other cc. PayPal. Repeat. Delete cart. Add cart. As I watched stock dwindle to zero not knowing wtf was going on.

  • gvanlandeghem Geert Van Landeghem (@gvanlandeghem) reported

    Dear @AskPayPal I am trying since december 7th to get my account "unlocked" by providing you all necessary information. Your system does NOT allow me to FIX the situation as asked by your customer support. Ever heard about Catch-22 ???

  • SKcRandy Randy M (@SKcRandy) reported

    @randi10042778 @Jake_Randall_YT I was in before he announced live, paid PayPal, had everything set up. Error message until they were all they way gone 😞 tried on multiple accounts with multiple cards and PayPal. Always an error
