  • alyssaajennings Alyssa Jennings (@alyssaajennings) reported

    @aSheedy_ @Uber_Support So annoying and terrible customer service. Looks like I’ll just be disputing the charge through PayPal.

  • rlbowen11 Rachel (@rlbowen11) reported

    @UPS, receive a refund on your end, and the customer is just out of luck? What terrible customer service. @Discover and @PayPal I paid with my Discover via PayPal. How do I ensure I receive a full refund?

  • BTrill1991 Carrots LePurp (@BTrill1991) reported

    @daviddupreejr @PayPal As a new eBay seller PayPal is ******* killing me. They are currently holding $1100 of MY money. On the other hand I’m impressed with the security and protection for sellers. 93 transactions with zero problems so far.

  • Marky_MarkA Mark Anderson (@Marky_MarkA) reported

    @niclassicshirt Fair play. Just a suggestion, really want to see local businesses down the road do well. People are lazy though and if PayPal is two taps away they will use it. All the best.

  • harshnoisewife evie (@harshnoisewife) reported

    @usedacidtab thank you!! rn were mostly having trouble getting money out, like all my cards were stolen & my paypal (the only card i replaced) got locked unexpectedly, i have no idea how to get cash to get food or more benzos to get back on my tapering plan, but it'll help when i can touch it

  • Natalia30882339 Natalia vega (@Natalia30882339) reported

    @gfc_srl @AskPayPal Was having the same issue,I got my account back with the help of __hack__hub on Instagram,this guys are very good and reliable.I think you should also try them.

  • GaoFangs Gao (@GaoFangs) reported

    Ahhh, good news everyone! I can open my commissions once more, as the problem that was occuring with Paypal seems to have been fixed :)

  • teasercrandon7 Adam (@teasercrandon7) reported

    @AskPS_UK Yes and then when I press triangle it says PlayStation doesn’t recognise the error code. I’ve linked my card, my PayPal

  • maskedclothes tosen (@maskedclothes) reported

  • MorteReport Be Gay Do Crime Fight @RepMoBrooks (@MorteReport) reported

    @UberEats y'all honest to god haha the worst interface for customers with issues. Gonna have an easier time just disputing the charges thru PayPal #greatjob

  • Lemonjingles LEMON (@Lemonjingles) reported

    AAAA MY PAYPAL PROBLEM IS OVER!!!! i can finally properly do commissions!!!

  • Ben_da_Bestie Ben (@Ben_da_Bestie) reported

    @PattLakieRehome Need to be careful pal. PayPal has been closing down accounts if it finds them being used to collect raffle money. They say it is “gambling”.

  • ohsinnerman Johnny Mains 💙 (@ohsinnerman) reported

    social media does the bare minimum to sort house and a large part of it will boil down to where the money is. Monetise social media and trolls won't want to pay to threaten to **** someone. Be it paypal or bankcard - that should be ID enough?

  • TheRealPomax TheRealPomax (@TheRealPomax@mastodon.social) (@TheRealPomax) reported

    @AskPayPal Literally not a problem for thousands of companies: you have the engineering expertise to link all separate jurisdictions under a single account. The idea that "you have to create a new account" is just being lazy on your end in this case.

  • sillyboxman El chico la tele (@sillyboxman) reported

    Hello anybody wanna buy me some .jpg for 1500 bucks? Dont worry I’ll send you an email, i’ll write down your name in the file so you can make sure it’s yours. Just send my the money on paypal, skipping the middleman you know. I can even send you a .png if u want, just let me know

  • rezierre rez ! rez ! rez ! (@rezierre) reported

    @ThunderboltSix Because third party middlemen like paypal and patreon are ******* terrible if you're an artist They can retract payments without your consent, destroy your entire source of income without you knowing NFTs are secure because of the fact that it is under a blockchain

  • amazingdogman Soran (@amazingdogman) reported

    @Wolfletech Yeah, I've been using PayPal for years and they never had a problem with anything I put in those comments until now I asked for further explanation on what would trigger this action, but they wouldn't give specifics

  • Yazzuri456 Yazzuri (GBF ANNIVERSARY HYPE) (@Yazzuri456) reported

    Is anyone elses Halifax card/account just not being accepted by PayPal??? I’ve had this problem since yesterday :/

  • askdepop askdepop (@askdepop) reported

    @Kya28050982 As you paid via PayPal, we cannot issue the refund because we don't have access to the funds. We'll help you get your dispute open and on it's way so that PayPal can refund you ASAP 💛

  • LenKusov *** the sleep paralysis demon (@LenKusov) reported

    @Bryfoxy I'm gonna politely not open the can of worms that is "the only way to buy HRT online after PayPal cracked down is with crypto" cause that'd really ruin A L L the transfurs who aren't in Planned Parenthood Informed Consent places... Like every local trans fur besides me...

  • harshnoisewife evie (@harshnoisewife) reported

    @usedacidtab ugh the thing is i converted my account to a business account a while back because i was planning on using it for exactly that, apparently doing that & not following through is a big enough problem to get your account totally frozen though! was 100% reliant on paypal debit cards

  • hadde_eu Marco Harder (@hadde_eu) reported

    @afshanesque @FootLockerEU Thankfully PayPal solved my problem, as @FootLockerEU did nothing but blah blah
