Feat-feet (@DargonPhil) reported@SamuelVieiraMe1 Mmm, I' not sure, what's the issue? Is Paypal the problem?

philip Ron (@phil_ron) reported@AskPayPal "Hello, I am a new freelancer in Kenya. I tried to reactivate my years-old dormant account by uploading my National ID for verification. The system instantly deactivated me. I have zero history of disputes or issues. Can a human agent please review my ID and restore my account?"

Purdy Investor (@PurdyInvestor) reported@ColesTrades It’s close to game over status. I really hope it not going to be broken for years like PayPal and others

Termites (@TermitesRGood) reported@N1HawkLive @zachbussey So let me get this straight people that have their checking account attached to Twitch. It’s $100 now. But PayPal who charges 3% fee is 50. If that’s the case, a lot of streamers will never get paid maybe two or three months down the road People just don’t support small streamers every time you get ahead I used to be 30 average now it’s 5 avg and every time it seems like you’re getting head twitch turns around and screws you What do you expect twitch in their analytics?

Fintech Takes (@FintechTakes) reportedThe DOJ just settled a fair lending case against PayPal. There's one problem: no loans were ever made. PayPal's Economic Opportunity Fund, launched in 2020, directed capital to minority depository institutions, CDFIs, and minority-led VC funds. It issued grants to Black-owned small businesses. It funded nonprofit partners. None of it was lending. And yet the DOJ opened a fair lending investigation under ECOA, a law that governs credit discrimination. PayPal settled anyway. The terms aren't punitive - the company agreed to launch a small business initiative focused on veteran-owned businesses and those in farming, manufacturing, and technology. The original fund had already been wound down. Alex's read: PayPal probably made a calculated decision. The company has an ILC charter application pending with the FDIC, and staying in the administration's good graces has real business value. But the legal logic here is paper-thin, and the precedent it sets is worth paying attention to.

⁷Candi⊙⊝⊜ᴬᴿᴵᴿᴬᴺᴳ (@candiapple45) reported******' devastated. had my phone and laptop ready. refreshed right at launch time and was met with errors. got in a few minutes later but the qty option on both devices was glitching. managed to add about half my order to cart and was literally signing into PayPal when it refreshed because something sold out. i removed it and tried again. that cycle repeated itself 5 times. everything sold out before i could process a single cart. couldn't even get a pair of ******' underware. way to go @CalvinKlein. im heart broken.

Tepri (@tepri_x) reportedPayPal is fine tbh except bowing down to payment processor.

Sourav Mahapatra (@sourav21maha) reportedDay 0 of public BeginThings revenue tracking. Today I shipped PayPal checkout on every service card. ₹999 / $12 Brand Clarity Audit ₹4,999 / $60 Conversion Fix Sprint ₹15,000 / $180 Brand + Funnel Setup LinkedIn comment → site → 3 clicks → paid audit. Self-serve. Day 0 revenue: ₹0. Day 0 buyers: 0. Kill date for this experiment if no paying customer by July 1. Not dropping the link in this tweet. If you can find the site from my bio, you are the kind of buyer I am building for.

🇺🇸 End H1B F1 OPT TN E3 O1 L1 I1 H4 all NIV 🇺🇸 (@slmimorgan) reported@drjoshcsimmons PayPal has always been a crap product with egregious security risks. Unclear how it launched anyone's career. There is something very shady going down with Tech. H-1Bs are unconstitutional/illegal. Hence, some very, very powerful people are not American citizens at all.

MAGENTAED GENESIS (@Greenability_so) reported@Sonicanka that sucks dude hopefully your paypal problem gets fixed soon
-
DishEz (close comms) (@dishez01) reportedRegarding the c0mms... I still haven't resolved the problem... I need to contact PayPal, but I admit I don't think it will lead to good news... so I'm a bit short on ideas. I always kept track of those who wanted to do it, I haven't forgotten you... 9/11

Samuel Kelechi TKFG 🔗 (@samuelkelechi99) reported@greyfinance @thisis_derin Is grey still compatible with PayPal? I can’t find my grey uk bank that I linked to my PayPal account, what if the issue?
-
Priya Pareek (@iampriyapareek) reportedBanks would charge me crazy fees for international transfers, and the transfer times were unbearably long. PayPal had its own set of issues, like high exchange rates and complicated verification processes. living abroad.
-
lesbes (@Lesleybaas9) reported@Leo_El_Random Only problem being I got card trouble... which I have been able to bypass by putting money on paypal wallet and pay that way 😓
-
LokiAMouse (@Nightnight60) reportedThank you @PayPal for deactivating my account for zero reason. No warnings nothing just an email saying you deactivated it. I've had that account for years with no issue. I refunded the person, but my account got deactivated -_-
-
IKARO (@ikaro_roro) reportedAll the membership fees are stuck in there and paypal can’t even provide proper customer service. Don’t worry about this part it’s my problem to deal with. Just letting yall know for transparency.
-
관점 (@guan_jum_ppt) reportedI want to open commissions, but PayPal is too slow. I'd like to receive the list; is anyone interested?
-
Ann O'Neill (@Ann_ONeill) reportedI just discovered I am being charged by @Cerebrum_lQ for a service they are not providing. When I tried to cancel I was told I have no active account yet a charge went through @PayPal today. I expect an immediate refund. Sad that X has become a watchdog for these issues.
-
Ian_Guppy (@Gupster81) reported@axs - woeful service. Getting tickets confirmed for the @TheO2 via Priority- all the way to payment and 4 differing cards and Paypal all "fail" due to technical errors. Now the 10 mins are up and shock - tickets gone!!!
-
so ☁️ (@jebebins) reportedHas anyone else had an issue with plus chat not renewing auto-payment ???? I've tried with 3 different cards + paypal and nothing works 😭😭
-
Julian Köser (@HonourM4xAI) reported@kabu_nyan0214 @Capito_Nihongo Problem is I don’t have an account which accepts foreign transfers only from my country and Paypal unfortunately blocks everything and supports my bank net. But if I could open a Japanese account that accepts foreign payments, that would be perfect for me.
-
me me (@me_sheer_) reportedImmediately they blocked my PayPal account I've had for years without an problems, to prevent me from making any money. You can make up their rabid fixation, these agency criminals have with me, their obsession with harming me repeatedly & ongoing other harms.
-
oceanturn (@oceanturnmusic) reportedGuys… PayPal doubled down with a consumer wording. They tried to play human without soul. So I gave them the soul they needed and pressed “send feedback.” Good luck with the FTC.
-
Angel Camacho (@AngelCam7) reportedWanting to purchase stuff directly from the Glitch store is so hard... I mean, yeah, I could pay with PayPal, but why does it not have the Pay in 4 option? That would make things so much easier.

AkiParty (@ImAkiParty) reported@NoriSayuri @PayPal can you help Nori with issue?

Amanda Swartbooi (@NguAmanda) reported@Rb__sa @Lesegx_Pilane Are paypal withdrawals having issues?
