    @AskAIB Afternoon All, I received a refund on paypal. Due to a lost card/ new card issue no refund has been completed. They say it's a bank issue ?

    @AskPayPal My phone number never recieves SMS codes so I can't login and pay for things. Tried adding other numbers but didn't get anything as well. Is there anything I can do to solve this? I don't think it's just a me problem if even my friend's numbers don't work :((

    @WallStCynic @CNBCFastMoney In the quote he does not mention SQ specifically but fintech as a sector. Lot of companies in the sector have indeed come down in multiples a LOT (Paypal etc).

  • TheNicJellie NicJellie【JELLYFISH VTUBER】 (@TheNicJellie) reported

    @UDucling @PayPal alright, we'll see, hopefully this problem is temporary

  • RedEyesWhtSwagn RedEyesWhiteSwaggin (@RedEyesWhtSwagn) reported

    @scrowder @elonmusk He's literally constant walking proof that billionaires are dangerous, unqualified clowns who just got lucky. Imagine paying to pretend you founded Tesla, SpaceX, Paypal. Imagine having your big idea be '****** slow trains with traffic.'

  • thefestivefarm The Festive Farm Co. (@thefestivefarm) reported

    @reneeobdc I'm sorry for your trouble, Renee! You mean PayPal wanted to confirm your login via two-factor authentication? The Festive Farm Co. does not text—but for security, often credit card transactions are authenticated in a variety of ways. Happy to help if we can! Is this your issue?

  • wildchild_nomzy Queen Vee (@wildchild_nomzy) reported

    @PayPal @AskPayPal I am unable to make payments through my PayPal account. When I try to pay with the card linked to my account, it says 'there was an issue with your payment'. I don't understand this because I completed a payment with this same card just a few days ago.

  • kevinbonham Kevin Bonham (@kevinbonham) reported

    Or for anyone who hates Paypal, can click on my profile on the site to bring up an email link and I'll send account details. There's a small issue in Paypal ATM where it claims the donation amount is in USD on the confirmation screen. Ignore that, it's in AUD.

  • JussBree Wholesome (@JussBree) reported

    I still can’t believe PayPal shut down my business account. Especially when I’ve had no fraudulent or risky activity.

    @elonmusk @elonmusk please allow PayPal transaction in Pakistan . There is huge amount of freelancers in Pakistan but they are facing problem to get their payments , so it will become easy to receive payments via through PayPal.
