  CoinDL (@CoinDL) reported 1 minute ago

  PayPal held $9,500 of a nonprofit's donations for 21 days in 2023. No explanation. Just a reserve, a login screen, and a support queue. Your $25 gift can sit in that same queue.

  apparently any payment from my paypal to another paypal got declined.. contacted both card / bank and paypal itself, they said there's no issues at all! i've done multiple ways and waited multiple days, although it still doesn't work even via web. 😔 tired...

  What specifically should they do to offset the issue. Have less power? Donate to some paypal? This kind of "speak up" wishwash has never solved anything in decades, and it seems nobody has real solutions to privilege other than morally judging others.

  @ArcticDago @Veteransforukr1 Are you paying from a PayPal "bank account"? I think the issue is the credit card (bank) I have that is tied to PayPal. PP's fees are fine.... I need to put money into a PP account and then send it, from what I'm seeing online. Otherwise bank charges me ridiculous fees.

  i did a paid collab with this brand, when it was payment time them: "pls create a paypal invoice including estimated fees so our finance team can pay you" me: **creates invoice, adds $10 with notes 'this is for the fees but if seems too much pls tell me + what you think i should add as fees' them: didn't complain, "hey can you create a new invoice? it seems there's an error with the first one as it's not working" me: ** tries to create a new invoice, noticed first payment actually came through. decides to tell them "hello, the first payment came through, check your activity to confirm so you don't end up paying me double" + added a screenshot for more transparency apparently paypal only charged $3 for the fees which means there's an extra $7 them: "hey we noticed there's an extra $7 after charges, can we send you something to post for us since we paid you more than the agreed amount" idek what to say next.

  @moonpay @circle @PayPal Has the task ended? Kept finding it hard to create wallet or even import one, connected ChatGPT and Claude and still asking me to reconnect, is the site down?

  Everyone, it appears there is an issue with our PayPal account. Consequently, we can only accept international donations via Wise for the time being. We apologize for the inconvenience. #FayePeraya #AtomPariya #FayeAtom

  @Jarretts2k @benjaminjudahh Bitcoin was around $200 when I was first told about it in 2013. I had my finger on the trigger to send £1000 sterling through PayPal to some guy. That would have got me around 7 BTC because of exchange rates. That was my trial run...i would have put in a lot more because I had just sold my apple stock that I had held for the entire time Steve Jobs was CEO. I dont know, if I had followed through I might have eventually had 150 or 200 Bitcoin. But I paused before sending the trial amount. The guy I was sending the money to had a frogs head for a profile picture and a name like BTC2MOON or something like that. So I backed out. By January 2018 I was in NYC and heard about it again in a restaurant and came home and googled it and arrived on the block size thread on reddit. I remember thinking yeah thats why I didnt buy it in 2013. So I shut down my browser and went yo bed. My son being born in 2023 was the push I needed. I was 50 and had a new kid and **** myself about his financial future

  @Valenti29796400 @adamlevine @Sethrogen Scam. This is a scammer. 2 different names. One the bio the scammer calls themselves Valerie and Selena. I'm reporting the PayPal name and the cashapp name and get them both shut down. Probably using fake/stolen information for both

  @BeforePablo I personally know MoF was looking to have a sit down with Paypal management in Europe back in 2023. PayPal’s stance is that our financial system isn’t sanitized enough. Too many fraudulent transactions linked to Ghana and it’s almost impossible to trace such persons.

  Lovely thing to wake up to, ko-fi says there's an issue with stripe even though I gave them the info they wanted so the only way someone can dono to my ko-fi is via PayPal. I would put it up on throne but it'd take awhile to payout to me and I need the amount by Tuesday. Advice?

  Also it's not the subject of this post but I did not try to scam anyone out of a commission, that was a problem with discord. However, If you have an in progress commission from me you want refunded send me your PayPal on kofi and I'll refund asap.

  shepherd (@xshephrd) reported 46 minutes ago

  @bendodge well that too, but the problem is they're a chinese company and i'm in nigeria. we tried exploring every payment method and it either didn't work for them or it didn't for me - the easiest option would've been crypto but it's banned in china - i have a leads account but it didn't work because they can only do SWIFT and mine only supports ACH and wire routing - literally every option didnt work and then we had to fall back to paypal (paypal itself has some restrictions in my region so i had to use a relative's account in the US) even when we got to the paypal, they said they cant make payment directly using paypal email etc and i had to create an invoice for the payment (that's how their company works) + they agreed to cover every fees from the onset

  @AskPayPal I can’t log in to my account, and I can’t reset my password because it keeps giving me a “Something went wrong” error. I’ve tried across multiple devices. I never receive an email to even reset my password.

  Pd, go send four digits on PayPal. I know you’re trying your best to resist but you know deep down that you’re itching to give in to the temptation of sending and serving me 😌

  @Abcmsaj @ownsomeshares perplexity has gone down really bad. got a one-year paypal free deal but don't really use it much now. half the time it just sulks and doesn't do the long research for you.

  @reksmore Without integration, it just wont be done by most people. Wont take the extra steps. I myself have been locked out of paypal for over a year over a single donation of .82 and have sent in my ID to support many many times to verify and still cannot use my account. I imagine Im not the only one having problems with paypal.

  Daniel Michael (@lordugande) reported 57 minutes ago

  I opened a PayPal account through paga. I was asked to submit a verification ID, which I did. Next thing I saw was that my account has been permanently deactivated. Why. We thought there won't be issues opening PayPal through paga. That was what you told us... @paga
