  • edzitron Ed Dead Redemption (@edzitron) reported

    i cannot remember a time when Venmo, or Paypal, or any bank I've used in my life (even HSBC) has locked me out of my money, but Coinbase has been down at least once in the last two months!

  • NickMoyes NickMoyes (@NickMoyes) reported

    @GoodLawProject Hi guys. You've just missed out on a PayPal donation after I signed one of your petitions. Your circular system requiring me to enter my personal details, and not letting me proceed without doing so made me give up after three attempts. You might like to fix that

    @pulte Hi @pulte I'm a family guy struggling with the expenses to fix my kids theeth and also my daugther needs glasses. By the way notifications are on, PayPal: @ rodcam

  • IanGera79872297 Ian Gerard (@IanGera79872297) reported

    @Venmo My business got banned from @PayPal and @Venmo at the beginning of COVID because our customers had to cancel orders to hunker down for the pandemic. Does that count?

  • whoisteezy 👩🏽‍💻Web Designer 📸Photographer (@whoisteezy) reported

    @x99xpaloma @RollingLoud Exactly .. the exact same issue I’m having & they’re trying to say it’s my information or try another method.. I can’t even use my PayPal & they suggested that. This is just ridiculous.

  • BarghestBlack 🔮𝙱𝙾𝙽𝙴 𝙼𝙾𝙼𝙼𝚈🔮 (@BarghestBlack) reported

    I keep seeing comments about this and invoicing literally solves this problem, you can’t overpay on an invoice unless you make it an option to. Stripe, and PayPal both have invoicing. Ko-if you can make your commissions a set price or PWYW. And if you don’t want tips why are-

  • SamuelAFalvoII Vertigo (@SamuelAFalvoII) reported

    Hey @PayPal , I really, REALLY, **REALLY** don't appreciate you shoving ads down my throat via your mobile app. Do that again, and I'll just turn off app notifications entirely. If it continues to be a problem despite that, I'll uninstall your app like a hot potato. Got it?

  • thejgoldstein Jeremy Goldstein (@thejgoldstein) reported

    @AskPayPal @PayPal Just sent my phone number. Third time in a row I’ve tried to use this card and had same issue. Please call now.

  • Lausferatu lauren 🎃 elizabeth (@Lausferatu) reported

    I spoke to 5 different people at vans because PayPal had overlapped my preferred shipping address with my old address and they all said we will fix it so it comes back to the vans facility and it DIDN'T.

  • illmatic808 Notorious$ (@illmatic808) reported

    @AskPayPal hello, I have gotten a message saying my account is locked? How can I fix this?

  • burgamy Aaron Burgamy (@burgamy) reported

    I wonder how far we would have gotten with electric cars and space exploration if the IRS had just seized all of @elonmusk’s assets when he sold PayPal and tried a government run approach to these problems. My guess? We would still be holding hearings.

  • AduxRelen Adux_Relen (@AduxRelen) reported

    I'm confident that discord wouldn't punish a user for protecting their paypal/bank accounts so I am hoping someone here with more experience could address the issue @discord #discordapp #discordhack

  • DarkMatters95 Billy J (@DarkMatters95) reported

    @Fab20 @skaushi The superapp has been paypal's $PYPL goal for at least half a decade. They have vision and considering an acquisition is not a big deal. It's down today because of Visa's poor guidance and them specifying "decelerating eCommerce" growth

  • breezeszn Breeze7 (@breezeszn) reported

    need editor asap | I have to pay with venmo cause my paypal is broken rn dm me

  • FredsDaily HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported

    4p In a support testing mode with Client353 regarding her PayPal account. We are trying to zero in on an ordering problem.

  • JustinList Justin List 👨🏻‍💻 (@JustinList) reported

    @howardlindzon Put a CEO on who isn’t Jack. Split with Square. Too focused on crypto. Why isn’t twitter a rival to Whatsapp and paypal at this point and more like Weibo? B/c theres not enough drive. How many improvements to the platform over the past 5-7 years? Incremental but too slow.

  • Hypiffy h (@Hypiffy) reported

    @8Cashh you down to do paypal?

  • GF11160030 Geoff (@GF11160030) reported

    @AskPayPal There is a problem with entering my email address using your app because you already know my email address

  • PainterRandy Randy Dueck (@PainterRandy) reported

    ☆Attention!!! If during the transition from previous website to new some errors may have disabled people from being able to contribute on PayPal. Try again! Issue has been corrected!

  • dlynnwatson Danielle Watson (@dlynnwatson) reported

    I seem to he having issues linking my bank account and PayPal to @coinbase. I had my account linked and for some reason it reset. Now each time I attempt it tells me there’s a bad connection from the server. Anyone else having issues? Any work around known? $shib $tsla $doge

  • Zenophobic Zenophobic (@Zenophobic) reported

    @Chris100500 have had way too many issues with CB to continue with them. Just signing up was a nightmare linking my bank accounts and Paypal plus today when SHIB was peaking my portfolio amount was shrinking. Incorrect pricing, then it froze and crashed. Sorry, @coinbase isn't up to *****.

  • KeyWinvest Ky Nguyen (@KeyWinvest) reported

    @DarkPoolTrade We were young back in 2009 and 2011. The guy bough a few BTC via his PayPal account. A few techie friend also bought bank stock and egold. I think the guy with the BTC stop working while the rest is dutiful employed. A few late adopter sold BTC for home down payment in 2017.

  • ElLeones8 El Leones (@ElLeones8) reported

    @PNCBank_Help Visited a local branch. The problem is that PNC converted my BBVA individual profile to business....not sure why it was done but that type has restrictions for linking accounts to 3rd parties such as Paypal.

  • Quinntastrophe Quinn / BBMage (@Quinntastrophe) reported

    @Tobyleroneee Paypal allows partial payments on Invoices! And I believe any partial payment sent can be immediately pulled to your bank. I have some going on with people and it’s been pretty smooth. It all comes down to the reliability of the person. 🤔
