    @BBoi107 @VTuberTweeter That's fraud. If I have a name on paypal that later doesn't match my bank name and ID card, I will get permanently limited or even get in trouble.

    yo question for people who do/have done commission before, what do you use to collect payments from? (paypal, venmo, etc) i'm planning on convincing my parent to set up an account so i can make a bit of money but i'm having trouble deciding on which one to use--

  • StreamGamesTV StreamGames (@StreamGamesTV) reported

    Because we had some issues with PayPal, we removed PayPal as a payment method and our payments are now processed with @stripe .

  • FuzzyHerbivore Fuzzy Herbivore (@FuzzyHerbivore) reported

    @Siilver777 @twostraws That did work... at first, but it was suuuuper slow and then the payment process was cancelled because some service was not available 😫 Tried web then, also slooooow but could pick paypal for payment and the order was placed! 🥳

  • AffordableLeath AffordableLeather (@AffordableLeath) reported

    @setoacnna PayPal are a law unto themselves, so if I were you, I'd find another way to transfer the money because trying to actually sort out issues with them can be a *very* slow and difficult process...

  • mintsugapd 시소 (@mintsugapd) reported

    @Friday_TZC @weverseshop i cancelled my order from the morning because it was 41$ for one photobook only. the twin rings i wanted got sold out at 11:01 KST when i was paying with paypal and i got the error message. Now i placed a new order with twin rings and 1 photobook and the shipping is 42$

    @HaythamE The site is a platform where creators sells things they created. Anyone can buy it and as the creator you get 50% of the price. The bug was exploitable when checking out with PayPal. Once you confirm the payment in your PayPal account, a request was sent to the server to confirm-

  • ogiberstein Oleg Giberstein🦇🔊 (@ogiberstein) reported

    I literally can't believe how bad @PayPal is - it's nearly hilarious. Completely useless, full of bags, weird issues, impossible customer support, stuff doesn't get solved, things break everywhere. Can't be disrupted by Crypto quickly enough

  • m0m0x01d Daher Mohamed (@m0m0x01d) reported

    @HaythamE - if I tried to exploit the same bug with a credit card I would have been billed for all the requests I sent because the server would have my CC information to do it, but here PayPal helped me exploit it 🙃

  • pharrohyami Pharroh Yami (@pharrohyami) reported

    @P0keProfessor Ok plain & simple. If you do all the proper steps to good's and services. PayPal will stand behind the seller. But if someone just sends you XX amount through G&S with no note etc. Of course it's going to go back to the buyer as a "accidentally error" if they claim that 1/2

  • Ehsan0577 Ehsan (@Ehsan0577) reported

    @amitavroy7 Sir please suggest master card and visa payment integration package in Laravel for those countries where PayPal and strip is not working

  • LiddlDevill Katie_K (@LiddlDevill) reported from Bexleyheath, England

    @ChallisBailey @sneakermyth I had the same issue when I was trying with PayPal but it went through on card

  • P0keProfessor Professor Oaks Labratory (@P0keProfessor) reported

    @pharrohyami Yeah I agree I just have too many issues in the past with charge backs and things so paypal is a no go for me. If they actually investigated their chargeback requests then I'd be down but until they can do better with that I can't lose anymore money to people doing shady things

  • jagough5 James Gough (@jagough5) reported

    @AskPayPal I have two pending transactions on my account. Both are errors due to a connection problem with the purchase website. When will this pending order be cancelled?

  • JCorryKruger J-CORRY KЯUGΞR ➐ (@JCorryKruger) reported

    @PayPal Why is there still that stupid senseless creditcard bug by paypal transfers? So basically its not possible to pay or get paid via paypal because it asks for a damn creditcard, how stupid. Fix that ******* issue finally how many times do I have to tell you about that?

  • jagough5 James Gough (@jagough5) reported

    @altontowers I have two pending transactions on my paypal account for scarefest as the order was not processing correctly. Do i need to take this issue up with you or paypal?

  • VladPlane Vlad's Getaway Plane (@VladPlane) reported

    @mahatmahanning Doge will prevent a margin call. Elon never let anyone down. Well, except for the PayPal thing, and avoiding conscription, and getting sued by the founders of Tesla. But yeah, it's going to the moon, he even tweeted it.

  • cogentfm Mike Tolley (@cogentfm) reported

    @TPLINKUK - I’ve got faulty equipment and an approved RMA but your PayPal account is suspended so can’t pay for advanced collection/delivery and your phone lines are down so can’t ring to arrange payment - can someone PLEASE get in touch

  • xFaeryPrincessx Avalon (@xFaeryPrincessx) reported from Gold Coast, State of Queensland

    @bigmarinara @InnuendoStudios The issue is that it's reported twice, once from Patreon and once from PayPal. So you effectively get taxed twice for the one sum of money

    @altontowers I have two pending transactions on my paypal for scarefest. Both transactions are not required as the order was duplicated due to a connection problem with paypal when processing the order

  • DfyKen Ken♦️DeFi 🚀🚀🚀 (@DfyKen) reported

    @Eljaboom @PayPal For me @PayPal is a joke. I personally had a nightmare thanks to their terrible customer service. But I thank them for that, because of them I entered #crypto.
