Paypal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • gerizmones Degen but not enough (@gerizmones) reported

    @davidmarcus @PayPal If they do not reverse fast, this is probably the start of a slow end for PayPal. Not sure if happy or sad.

  • StanT00 Stan Thurman (@StanT00) reported

    @RealKeriSmith @PayPal Sent in error or not meant to be public? So what the hell was this doing there in the first place? Shows they are at least considering it.

  • PelotonScarlet You're Not The Boss of Me (@PelotonScarlet) reported

    @davidmarcus @PayPal It is the most shady thing I’ve ever come across. Other than my credit union and Amex, PayPal has been the only financial tool I have actually faithfully used and trusted. No more. Closing it down tonight.

  • IanHardie9018 Ian Hardie (@IanHardie9018) reported

    @paulgalyer Agree, it doesn't matter what your viewpoint is. PayPal have broken all laws with this latest edict. Disgusting behaviour. Let's have it right, Ebay saw this coming that's one of the reasons they went direct with payments.

  • AshleyLatke Ashley Lake (@AshleyLatke) reported

    these same banking institutions can not be trusted to enforce any arbitrary rule in a way that would not have a devastating effect on people already in terrible instability - and I don't think a single life is worth PayPal's reputation, I just don't

  • MbsrlM @UltraMagaMarcia (@MbsrlM) reported

    @davidmarcus @PayPal I used to work for PP, glad I’m not working for them anymore! That is insane!

  • Cr1pt0_NFT Crypto NFT 123 (@Cr1pt0_NFT) reported

    @elonmusk @davidmarcus @PayPal get paypal back again, and fix it

  • LissieLoveArt Winreese from the Acoustic Warfare Lab (@LissieLoveArt) reported

    @MabelGreysmoke Yeah... they shut down my porn paypal SO FAST

  • h0p1t4s hopey (@h0p1t4s) reported

    @elonmusk @davidmarcus @PayPal Fix it with #Bitcoin

  • Tanui_Kb MAN_OF_STEEL. (@Tanui_Kb) reported

    When I focus on what's good today, I have a good day.When I focus on what's bad, I have a bad day. If I focus on the problem, the problem increases. If I focus on the answer, the answer increases. #MasculinitySaturday Rest In Peace Paypal NoMessi Ndidi Nyoro Winni Odinga Tamasha

  • MikeSouthWestUK Mike - married to: adult human female (@MikeSouthWestUK) reported

    @michellewrossi I have a similar issue. I tried to cancel my PayPal but they say I can’t because I have PayPal credit. Which I do. I used it 7 years ago and it’s had a zero balance since then Whenever I try to contact them about it they avoid answering Does anyone know what I can do?

    BREAKING: PAYPAL SPOKESPERSON: “An AUP notice recently went out in error that included incorrect information. PayPal is not fining people for misinformation and this language was never intended to be inserted in our policy... We’re sorry for the confusion this has caused”

  • bjr1031 Breckenridge Elkins (@bjr1031) reported

    @davidmarcus @PayPal My PayPal is tied to a credit card, and I can't imagine the **** storm they'd be calling down if they put an unauthorized charge on a Navy Fed card...

  • ZAlexSnyder Alexander Snyder (@ZAlexSnyder) reported

    Anyways, I personally have never had any problems with PayPal. I have used it for over a decade. I would highly suggest not taking business advice from partisan Twitter accounts that push outrage to get engagement.

  • Dman213331781 Dat Guy Dave (@Dman213331781) reported

    @SydneyLWatson Hahahaha!! "Went out in error". Feel and embrace the suck PayPal.

  • 2015Mikey Mikey (@2015Mikey) reported

    @twinpeeks7 @DavidSacks PayPal don't want or need @DavidSacks's business. That's part of the whole point. Paypal have a problem with misinfo propagators remitting to spreaders who don't want to transact on-chain due to volatility. That get's characterized as 'woke', which is itself misinfo from DS.

  • yayfor1a a (@yayfor1a) reported

    @PeterSweden7 I left PayPal when it took issue with those who didn’t want to certify the election. Haven’t used it since

  • Talliy Star-spangled Flooflesnoots (@Talliy) reported

    I'm pretty sure Paypal (PYPL) is about to have some major shareholder lawsuits spinning up next week if they don't fix this ****.

  • BlackSheepAwake Black Sheep 👁 (@BlackSheepAwake) reported

    How TF is Paypal going to decide what is misinformation and charge $2,500 per violation when the "conspiracy theorists" who were shut down over Covid have now been proven right.

  • ventnorhumphrie martin smith (@ventnorhumphrie) reported

    @CaptDrimmie @Foxerino @sophielouisecc My bullshit detector has shot up to 11. How exactly to PAYPAL check all your tweets? All your Youtube comments? They employ legions of hackers to bust into the accounts of their customers? My initial feeling is that the problem is that the entire claim is bullshit.

  • faexdoll (っ◔◡◔)っ💜 ⁿᵒᵗ ʸᵒᵘʳ ᵈᵒˡˡʸ 💜 (@faexdoll) reported

    @FosterTheVoid I've seen issues with the toys being pretty bad quality in some cases and paypal payments being reversed/disputed if you give them anything less than a 5 star review.

  • EvanBrownAuthor Evan Brown (@EvanBrownAuthor) reported

    The other problem with PayPal’s updated terms of service is how many businesses are connected to it. For instance the only way to get royalties on Bandcamp is by connecting your PayPal. They give you no other option.

  • TinyBabyPeople TinyBabyPeople (@TinyBabyPeople) reported

    @TimKennedyMMA Am having trouble getting yours closed? “Close you PayPal account. Why won’t this thing close, damn it.”

  • _A_l_i_s_s_a_ Alissa On (@_A_l_i_s_s_a_) reported

    @RealCandaceO So you’re saying this might happen to you and you disagree with the policy? No real surprise. Btw - PayPal refusing to be used to gather money based on lies - well, can’t say I’m upset with them. I think it’s telling that you are melting down about it.

  • crypt0e shaquille o'atmeal (@crypt0e) reported

    @bennyjohnson @PayPal 'error' uh huh

  • RickyClarkeIII Ricky Clarke III (@RickyClarkeIII) reported

    @TheWealthMiner @PayPal My question really comes down to legality. This doesn’t seem to have legal standing such as seizing drug money

  • AshleyLatke Ashley Lake (@AshleyLatke) reported

    The rich will always have access to banking - money solves this problem. A company like PayPal will quickly see the potential cost of liability from fighting a rich person is a bigger cost than letting them use the platform
