    @Franki60572022 @feet_promoter This response 😡“I wish I could use cash app or PayPal but my bank won’t let me bc I have a custom business acct that won’t let me send through a third party or money app…..I can only issue out a check for you to deposit without asking for any of your bank information to do so”

  • hsaa80 Abu Saoud (@hsaa80) reported

    @littleasianasia @PayPal It was permanently blocked by PayPal, I don't think the problem is solved by an external party

    I suppose if you are starting a business and don't drive you could put a UK passport down as a business expense so that you can take payments by PayPal . . 🤔

    @AssumeNormality @PayPal others hate elon musk because he's a weird alt-right freak, i hate elon musk because paypal was always terrible service garbage.

  • rai_screaming Mr. MCR (@rai_screaming) reported

    won't be commissioning some peeps for a while because I've withdrawn all my paypal funds to my bank out of paranoia that my account will get restricted for using VPN because i'm getting 403 forbidden error without it :/

    @BradPowers7 Hey Brad, purchased newsletter but it didn’t ask for my email? I guess it uses PayPal email as a default. Problem is I don’t have access to that old email anymore .

  • c4zimir Cazimir (@c4zimir) reported

  • GarinOhannes Garin Ohannesyan (@GarinOhannes) reported

    @askdepop @depop Thank you for your response but I haven’t chosen this option. I live in and am shipping within Canada and I’m using my own shopping. Please break this fee down for me. This is the second time a huge chunk is being taken from me from a sale. Can I dispute it on PayPal?

  • JakMockery_ John Whinfield VA (@JakMockery_) reported

    PayPal just shut down my account, fun fun fun. Not a great time for that to happen either.

  • AshTea5000 AshTea (@AshTea5000) reported

  • fechimez fredrick chimezie (@fechimez) reported

    This is a fraudulent email I got today even though PayPal confirmed it’s from their server, but they deny they ever sent it. I never made such purchase and PayPal confirmed I don’t have any such purchase on my account. They are investigating. BEWARE!!!

  • Karlyden1 Karlyden (@Karlyden1) reported

    @TMIrelandHelp Are there issues with making payments on your website today? Have tried to buy tickets using PayPal, and both my debit and credit cards, and not going through??

    @zoeyhankz @kasyoki48636530 Its only PAYPAL who can sort issues. Stop misleading people.

  • xx_Alessandria Alessandria Ricci ⋆ Vegas 9|1 (@xx_Alessandria) reported

    @audreyleighatl So what he did was he sent you money like he bought something from you. Venmo is holding it to make sure he “receives” the item with no issue. PayPal let’s the client acknowledge they are fine and will release the hold. I would contact Venmo and see if it’s the same.

  • freakyfoot24 faceless godess :) (@freakyfoot24) reported

    never got any money, he couldn’t show me his real paypal app but had no problem doing it earlier when he bought. Had no problem with the first transaction nothing. I’m assuming he was trying to scam me bc when i looked up the transaction id nothing.

  • TrasivaPlays Trasiva_Plays (@TrasivaPlays) reported

    @DSDigitalDev In other news, someone at Devolver gets fired for making terrible business decision. Flaunt it my friend, you made an amazing game that has such great replayability. Also, can you send me your paypal info? I need to invoice you for all the dry cleaning, someone pooped in my pants

  • sam_kent_ Sam Kent (@sam_kent_) reported

    Does anyone else have trouble receiving verification emails from @PayPal? They either take forever or never arrive.

  • Jack23Davies Jack (@Jack23Davies) reported

    @SenpaiStealer Nothing you say is going to change the fact that your neck tattoos are there for life and you look like the equivalent of white trash. Would you like me to paypal you some money so you can get an actual hair stylist to fix whatever that **** is on your head ???

  • Mage_Reborn Mage Reborn (@Mage_Reborn) reported

    @StrattyD The first question is the one I have issue with. Currently we have a banking system with most payment processes done with handful of companies systems (Visa, MC, Paypal etc). It could just as well be that these system can go down...
