  • ComputerCellar The Computer Cellar (@ComputerCellar) reported

    Revised post: it looks like there was some sort of issue at PayPal overnight. Many people have gotten emails stating there was an unrecognized login via an Android device in New Jersey. PayPal claims they didn't send these, but the emails appear to be legit.

    @aQRZVAI05oq5wnH @DavidSacks 30yrs ago - "until Walmart cuts them off" Since then - Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Etsy, Shopify, eBay, Facebook, PayPal, Square, etc. You/your business have never been at less risk of being silenced. You want to act like a terrible human that hurts others, own YOUR ACTIONS!

    @eBay for the live chat, ebay’s help page lead me to login page i can’t go due to suspended account. I’m watching my orders being cancelled everyday and i need to bear some fees from ebay and paypal.

    @AskPayPal hi! My Dad is having problems changing his password. He is being asked for his phone number but the number on the account is an old number. Can you help please?

    thank you all for your overwhelming support!! i will not be accepting any further donations until i have caught up with the requests and solved my ongoing paypal issues ♥

  • qmee Qmee (@qmee) reported

    @Smit3930 Hi Jacob Unfortunately, it appears on an individual basis - so a user's personal usage of PayPal - seems to work fine, but there appears to be an issue with PayPal when it comes to Qmee directly. As mentioned, the issue appears to be on their end, but our tech team...

  • KrisDoerschner Kristen Doerschner (@KrisDoerschner) reported

    @AskPayPal I need a human being on the phone to help me with an issue. Please! I have a complicated problem, and the seller told me to contact PayPal and the website and automated PayPal phone system is not helping me. How do I talk to a person?

  • jvanzyl Jason van Zyl (@jvanzyl) reported

    @paypal So it ended up being possible to delete the Paypal account, but no one was able to reset it. It’s frightening that no one inside PayPal can fix an account and it’s easier to just delete it. So be it. Never using PayPal again.

  • PartyPupils Party Pupils (@PartyPupils) reported

    @Ableton I know it’s Christmas morning for a lot of people downloading your software but can you fix whatever is declining every form of payment I try including PayPal? Very frustrating

  • folk_heaven Heaven🖤 (@folk_heaven) reported

    @mamahailz I didn’t have this issue with cash app but with venmo and PayPal both after a YEAR of using them my bank randomly flagged them one day. Had to call and get them unlocked

  • brandonsnothome Brandon (@brandonsnothome) reported

    .@AskPayPal how are y’all gonna ask for my ID to withdraw $250 then say it’s still going to take 72 hours. You guys own Venmo and I’ve never had this problem with them…

  • AugustineMacky Augustine Macky_Kingson (@AugustineMacky) reported

    @Mbahdeyforyou Due to popular demand. I will be helping 20 persons setup a PayPal account that receives funds in Nigeria and as an addition - I will teach you easy methods to earn money in dollars through your PayPal. The offer will be going down soon, send a dm to get the guide.

  • paulrabutcher Paul Butcher (@paulrabutcher) reported

    @AskPayPal If you had actually read my message, you'd see that the problem is nothing to do with my PayPal account. Perhaps read it and try again?

  • jansn Bob Jansen (@jansn) reported

    @aksie @timanrebel Indeed, for finance and procurement this is really about predictability in their budgets. More certainty upfront and less surprises down the road. Depending on the amount though, I’ve seen corporate teams dodge procurement by using PayPal for expensing 6-7k monthly invoices.

  • SakkuraAsh Ash Commissions 1/5 :) (@SakkuraAsh) reported

    USD (I might not take USD cuz paypal not working but I could do it in gift cards :)

  • harmlesshamCQ HarmlessHAM (@harmlesshamCQ) reported

    @JoshuaNozzi @PayPal 😔 what if they extracted 1Password database and master password? that’s a very rare scenario. Probably best for you to change all passwords as a precaution if PayPal does confirm they logged in and the email is not an error?

  • AddMorrTwitch AddMorr (@AddMorrTwitch) reported

    @AskPayPal Hi, yeah, so, JIT said he sent my issue further up the chain. Its been 5 days now and i still havent heard anything and JIT stopped replying to my messages. What's the hold up?

  • KrisDoerschner Kristen Doerschner (@KrisDoerschner) reported

    @AskPayPal I've sent a DM with my information and issue.

  • PatriotQT1 PatriotQT (@PatriotQT1) reported

    @PayPal is the currency converter not working at all? I havent been able to convert funds sent to me, since I received them and I am starting to get VERY upset!

    @Illicit_Ecstasy @AskPayPal They never resolved the issue; I never even got someone on the phone, the only reply was via Twitter. I ended up creating a new account and sending the money to the new account

  • socksfelloff Jay Socksfelloff (@socksfelloff) reported

    @jenovi My favorite part was Fonzie saying PayPal is run by the Mafia and they target people who are too successful which is why he's having issues and others aren't

  • qmee Qmee (@qmee) reported

    @flitcraft_a Hi, Our tech team is working really hard with PayPal to ensure this issue is resolved as soon as possible. However as this issue is currently on PayPal's side, and not directly on our side we can't say exactly when this will be resolved. Thanks for your...
