    @BowTiedBull Customer service. Sometimes time is more important than money when you are running a small business. Relationships are more important. I had this happen recently with my small bank vs. PayPal. Small bank resolved PayPal issue that PayPal could not resolve even after 6 calls.

  • nirsannn nirsan (@nirsannn) reported

    So can you please be kind enough to give me an email or something where I can reach someone at PayPal who can help me login? The account is fully verified and has some money on it.

  • fold_app Fold⚡️ (@fold_app) reported

    @RyanViceEG @Ikat8822 Seems like some payments are having issues on Paypal's end. If you're not receiving a declined notification, it most likely isn't something on our end.

  • nirsannn nirsan (@nirsannn) reported

    @AskPayPal Hey PayPal, I've been trying to reach you through resolution center, but Paypal is asking me to login. However, when I login PAYPAL is asking me to verify my number. HOWEVER. THE NUMBER PAYPAL ASKS ME TO VERIFY IS MY PLD NUMBER, NOT THE ONE CURRENTLY ADDED TO PAYPAL.

  • RohanChindooroy Rohan Chindooroy (@RohanChindooroy) reported

    @TomFaller @whippletom This triangulation scheme (whether scamming PayPal, or the original buyers via wrong address & item not returned) seems to be a version of Ponzi scheme that's suffered an infinite loop glitch by not checking you off. If they're all arriving at yours, might be about to collapse.

  • gary_weiss Gary Weiss (@gary_weiss) reported

    @unsuckEBAY @AskeBay Earlier I tweeted that Paypal doesn't allow its dispute resolution procedures to be used for Ebay purchases. Actually it does, and I've taken down those tweets. The new procedures make it harder, but I haven't used them since they were changed so I don't know how they work.

  • rcpointdujour Regi Pointdujour, DPT, NCS (@rcpointdujour) reported from Los Angeles, California

    @bankwithrelay @accountinghighs @ignitionapp If we link quickbooks and square and PayPal to the bank, will we get duplicate entries on quickbooks? Also, who do I talk to about problems with the app?

  • onlyson__ A (@onlyson__) reported
