    @SP00KlE I had the same issue with them quite anwhile ago. I was lucky enough to be able to get my refund back from PayPal, but I hope you get everything sorted soon!

  • PXAbstraction Parallax Abstraction (@PXAbstraction) reported

    @mattperrin @PayPal I went through this nightmare with them too. A company on their industry should just plain not be allowed to have customer service this terrible. Make sure you have third-party cookies enabled for their site too. It breaks stuff if you don't.

  • st_somatic ava september hofmann (@st_somatic) reported

    a couple years ago, I accidentally named my paypal account HONK. so now whenever anyone buys an issue of SPORAZINE my email goes HONK

    @EatWithCali @PayPal I also encountered the hacking issue before, support center were not even replying, untill i was referred to @meektools on insta then i was able to recover my hacked account!

  • craigmdennis Craig Dennis (@craigmdennis) reported

    Hey @AdobeUK, I can't update my payment information to PayPal (you redirect me back to the previous age with the same error and old card details) and I can't contact you because every 'contact us' link is an infinite loop back to your FAQ. How can I speak to a real person?

    @YouTubeTV was billed for your service via @PayPal. I have no email or other record of signing up. I’ve attempted to login using all family members emails but have no YouTubeTv account. No subscriptions for YTTV on any google accounts. Fraud claim rejected. What gives?

  • zappafaye Donna (@zappafaye) reported from Bellevue, Ohio

    The craziest part of all of this is, @PayPal gave us both such conflicting information & run around, that I even spoke to a representative about returning it to the sender, that same night, they forced it through, charged me twice for their error, & hung up whenever I called.

  • DailyFantasyCPA Daily Fantasy Sports CPA (@DailyFantasyCPA) reported

    @C2theA So Paypal issues this form and so that checks out for selling personal and misc goods. No, usually on page 1 or Sch C Sch D is usually capital gains/ losses my guy (stocks / crypto)

  • StormsOfDream Glow (@StormsOfDream) reported

    Hey @PayPal @AskPayPal I have been dealing with multiple fraud problems involving your “key.” Your joke of a customer service just hung up on me. No wonder when I called in it said you guys had high call volume. What.A.Joke.

  • ShadezWorld Shade (@ShadezWorld) reported

    Anyone have problems getting your first Twitch payment? I changed my PayPal a couple weeks ago, well before the day my second payout was supposed to hit, and never got an email about it or anything, and never got a PayPal notification

  • DailyFantasyCPA Daily Fantasy Sports CPA (@DailyFantasyCPA) reported

    When playing DFS- AVOID using PayPal to deposit or withdraw, if possible PayPal issues a tax Form 1099-K if: -$20,000 worth of payments are processed -More than 200 payments are made This means you may receive a tax form EVEN if you have NET DFS LOSS on the year if using PayPal

  • daanivfx Daani (@daanivfx) reported

    Your mom found out that you are spending your time on editing the whole time and took down your paypal account, your second emoji is your reaction. mine is 😔

  • ogiovetti Olivia Giovetti (@ogiovetti) reported

    Posting all this because I think I've kept my **** together pretty well in the last year. I'd rather just tweet out dumb jokes and the occasional oblique insight. But I am so ******* tired & if this is going to be the thing that breaks me, I'm taking IKEA & PayPal down with me.

  • DigitalStefan Stefan (he / him) (@DigitalStefan) reported

    9 steps total, including the erroneous 'you have no subscriptions' very early on in the process. 9 steps that could have been zero if Microsoft understood that sometimes debit cards expire and that people use PayPal to abstract away these issues.

  • Lou_MumOf3 Louise Lucas (@Lou_MumOf3) reported

    @VibePay Ebay, but they need to scrap paypal and use @VibePay instead! Paypal are a rip off and iv had nothing but trouble with them!!! 😒

    Anyone else having issues with @PayPal withholding their money without a reason? #Paypalholds #Paypal

  • ronald_silvey Ronald Silvey (@ronald_silvey) reported

    @GeoffFord @ExaminerRyguy @ZGFTECH I filed a fraud claim with Paypal along with many others. They said they have been getting a lot of complaints. Expect this fraud to be shut down soon.

  • aleelul alee // Twitch Emote Artist ⭐️grinding comms (@aleelul) reported

    The issue with Paypal has been resolved thankfully! Payments can go through as usual🥰

  • mri_brain Brian (@mri_brain) reported

    @AskeBay My card was declined 3 times, I can't use PayPal. No payment is accepted anymore. I'm trying to ship to a different address than my billing address and understand that this may be my problem.

  • Voidw1tch Nicole S. (@Voidw1tch) reported

    @WstonesHelp I received an email PayPal is down and my order needs to be processed. I added a card to my account. Can I please get it updated so ACOFS can ship? Order 16853413

  • threatenwheel 🪐 T·W Lives in A Society (@threatenwheel) reported

    I still can't convert GBP to USD. 3 @AskPayPal reps have told me: - Flagged for suspicious activity (aka an incognito browser) - There's just an error, I'll send it to tech - Just clear your cookies I've never had issues with paypal before but when ya'll mess up, you do it well

  • ElaineJackson12 Author, genealogy addict, love sci-fi (@ElaineJackson12) reported

    @BiduLive @gizemygit1 I got caught too. PayPal not helping, will be contacting the bank linked to it. Terrible. #shawacademyscam

  • chldlktndncs Mara Mac 😈 (@chldlktndncs) reported from Calw, Baden-Württemberg Region

    @AntarcticEchoes @_Navaros_ That's be awesome. I could do the bank transfer no problem - but since I have no credit card I cannot use PayPal that way

  • Aca_Kafs K A F U I 🇬🇭 (@Aca_Kafs) reported

    I think Dr Bawumia said back in 2017 they were in the process of removing Ghana from the PayPal blacklist and it'll be completed by 2021 (not sure of the year). Some of us have been waiting for long. Anyone heard any new development on this issue?
