John Score (@JScoreForever) reported@AndrewPerpetua Yeah, if you ever get an e-mail like this for an online account, or your bank or something (I get them for PayPal all the time, despite not even having a PayPal account), ALWAYS log into the actual service to check if there is actually an issue. Never use links in e-mails.

アオイ| AOI (@rohioart) reported@SuzunaTsukimi Yeah, there have been multiple issues with this, I’m not sure if it’s a Kofi thing or PayPal. It’s always been there on my end but others were unable to see the option for PayPal, it only showed credit/debit card option. It most likely will only show that now.

R (@SQUIRTDRINKER17) reported@CoFoundersNik this highlights the issue with stripe. they don’t like hyper growth. my saas did $250k rev in first month after launch, stripe didn’t like it. 4 months in they disconnected us with a 0% chargeback rate (we forced 3ds! can’t chargeback when you literally have to sign into ur bank and 2fa). it was insane trying to find another processor to take us and integrate them. will never use stripe, they’re just a new paypal.

Ondrei (@lowstakesdre) reported@High_Impact_67 It wasn’t a misdirected payment, it was an exchange rate correction. I originally sent someone in Norway $100. The PayPal exchange rate for the Norwegian Kroner was messed up that day. They charged my account $5,000 instead of $100. They corrected it 3 weeks later crediting my account and making me whole. Then two months later they corrected it again in error giving me $5,000 that wasn’t mine.

Ray Kinsman (@KinsmanRay) reported@AskPayPal I need someone from payPay to contact me please. I need help; I cant login into Paypal, i have an email, I a password, but the authentication message / whatsapp is for a cell phone number I replaced 4 years ago. No where on your site does it allow me to make contact, pre signin

AFRO-NODE DApp Web3 Project (@AfroDapp8382) reportedThe problem is real and underserved. Global gig platforms routinely exclude African talent from payment rails (SWIFT restrictions, PayPal unavailability in many African countries): this is not a marketing claim, it's a documented ongoing friction. Bounty Hunt 3.0 is Live 🚀

Susanna Chisholm (@SC4X_2025) reportedI don't think so. You go to China. I have no business nor want to go to China. Ps: I just experienced the worst trauma. A freecreditscore just f'd me royally and managed to find a loop 🕳 to win to ach withdrawal from my PayPal account. So I had to pay back you guys for temporarily credit my account. I was greatful for that. I love your platform great app. I felt there was deception and theft by extortion on this online business. Just like when I was tricked to thinking I won a McDonald's $100 gift card. McDonald's on my s**t list now. I get to find something else on McDonald's the company destroys our rainforest. Did you know trees the length of a football field is chopped down every hour. That's here and there. Mainly you know who else is sleeping in bed with our government. Instead of gift certificate, I got signed up with Affordable Obama Care that I was unaware off. I found this out by accident through the IRS. Just like you guys are in bed with other online businesses the one's that go phishing. I take that back. Engineering at best most consumers are naive muchless that you put burden of proof on us. Apparently, the business that took my $32 provided a better rebuttal. I don't get to look at their discovery. In good conscience, I paid back to PayPal. The end. For your perusal. I have already requested to close my account. But here is a caption of why I have come to conclusion... Thank you for listening. Have a nice day.

L0rdskywarp (@L0rdskywarppp) reported@tableminuszero PayPal, I do have Venmo aswell but I’d have to fish out my login

Carey | Building SaaS Boilerplate (@careytob) reportedBut going back through it, I found something real I could actually fix. My own site's copy said: "Accept payments via Stripe, Square, PayPal, and Paddle - all in one platform." That's not what the software does. But it's exactly how a payment facilitator would describe itself.

ᧁꫝꪮᦓꪻꫀꪶꪶꫀ 💫🌸🐑 (@Ghostelle_) reportedShare my commission post pinned to my profile if possible... They will be slow going but I do update regularly at each step so if changes need making it can be done. I also use VGen and do accept PayPal.

Susanna Chisholm (@SC4X_2025) reported@PayPal I just experienced the worst trauma. A freecreditscore just f'd me royally and managed to find a loop 🕳 to win to ach withdrawal from my PayPal account. I love your platform great app. Though. In losing. I paid back the provisional credit. Meanwhile, I felt there was deception and theft by extortion on this online business part. Just like when I was tricked to thinking I won a McDonald's $100 gift card. To think now in retrospect, McDonald's the company responsible for destruction of our rainforest. Did you know trees the length of two football fields are chopped down every hour. That's here and there. Mainly you know who else is sleeping in bed with our government. Instead of not getting the gift certificate as advertised, I got signed up with Affordable Obama Care that I was unaware off. I found this out by accident through the IRS. Just like PayPal sided with this online businesses that go phishing. I take that back. Engineering at best. You put burden of proof on me. Apparently, the business that took my $32 provided a better rebuttal. I don't get to look at their discovery. In good conscience, I paid back to PayPal. The end. For your perusal. I have already requested to close my account. But here is a caption, at my expense and humility, of why I have come to conclusion... Thank you for listening. Now I shall clean up my browser. Have a nice day.

Plugin Company (@plugincompany1) reported@CoFoundersNik I experienced exactly the same issue with PayPal. Had to sell the business and use a lawyer to get the funds back. Not same numbers but 100% the same experience. Money held, can't buy products, can't fulfill orders because of that, results in more chargebacks etc.

JennieUI/UX Designer (@jenidesignns) reportedIf I just let go of this client because of the PayPal issue, is that okay? I opened a new account, and within a few seconds, it was permanently limited.
