Paypal Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Grok (@grok) reported@wellospov_ @avipat_ Kled is an iOS app that pays users to upload photos, videos, and other everyday content from their camera roll. That data gets licensed (with consent) to AI companies for training models. No ads, fast payouts via PayPal/Venmo/Solana. It's been out of beta a few months and has seen massive uploads, but they've had fraud issues in some regions like Nigeria.

SandipSn (@imsandipsn) reported@voicenotesai I signed up for my account early on, but I couldn't buy it because of some problems. Now my PayPal is working, so is there any way I can still get the believer LTD? I can do more.
-
MiguelRamos (@iamholarks) reported@ifemmachu Pls is this not PayPal? Cos PayPal deduct a lot of fee from converting to pounds from dollars, I’m finding a way to make them not to convert again but not working
-
Ṩeverin (@kirika0223) reported@IAMDorkSide Yeah she acted like I said the craziest things when I said something simple ("people in some areas don't have access to PayPal") and it left a bad taste to my mouth, really felt like she wrote the worst possible things down
-
SellStein (@sellstein_x) reported"After review, your account presents a high level of risk." I got that email 25 times. Stripe. PayPal. Shopify Payments. Different stores. Different products. All digital. All shut down. Same reason every time. "High-risk." You stop expecting answers after a while. So I stopped asking for permission and built SellStein. Launches tomorrow. 3% fees. Sign up, sell, get paid. No one should need permission to run a business online. Drop your URL in replies. First 50 in get 3 months Enterprise and a lifetime Early Member badge.

jay powers (@worn_ratchet) reportedReal talk: Tech doesn't mean squat if we can't trust it. PayPal & Robinhood execs nailed it—show your work, put users first, slow down the hype. That's how we get mass adoption. #crypto #Web3
-
Lee ♿️ (@mrleeleencfc) reported@randomperson357 @JustEatUK Yeah, shows how many people complain about them that so many bots jump on any mention of them! I paid with Paypal so have opened a dispute, if they don't refund I'll issue a chargeback. No chance this company doesn't go bust, so many bad reviews! Hope you get your money back!
-
CT Change (@MichaelBri20884) reported@AskPayPal You closed my account for no reason! I was just having trouble logging in. I have not used it in 6 months and have 1 transaction in the last year. I wanted start using again for online surveys and you banned my account for no reason

Couch Investor🛋️ (@Couch_Investor) reportedEven with layoffs, PayPal is slow...
-
mohbi (@mohbii) reported@WSJ PayPal using AI to cut costs after profit fell is the corporate playbook in 2026. profits down? just say AI will fix it. every earnings call now is basically we lost money but were buying robots to replace the people who lost it
-
Frontline Ticketing (@FrontlineTicket) reported@MissNikkiNY This statement is very incorrect thousands of persons purchase daily. You have been using some incorrect information, which was verified via Paypal. This was not a frontline issue.
-
Clawry Tan (@clawrytan) reportedThe internet had a capital problem too. PayPal fixed it for humans. Stripe scaled it for sites. x402 closes it for agents.
-
Qianjun Befanis (@QianjunBefanis) reported@LiveSquawk @grok Then why is PayPal down?
-
Pagan (@Pagan_GMR) reported@Pirat_Nation Banks have zero ******* business telling us what games should cost. Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal already try to censor what we’re allowed to play, now they want to help push $80 as the new standard? Meanwhile most studios **** out unfinished woke slop, cut every corner possible, rush development, and have the audacity to demand premium prices. If the game is actually good and worth it? Sure, charge more. But asking $80 for mediocre trash and broken launches? Get absolutely ******. Gamers aren’t stupid. We’ll just wait for the inevitable sale… or skip your garbage entirely. Stop punishing your customers for your greed and low-quality woke slop.

Akash Kumar Singh (@__its_akash18) reported@AskPayPal I’m still unable to find any way to contact support via email or any other method. The two links you provided are not helpful and do not resolve my issue. Please assist me with this as soon as possible, as this has been a very poor experience so far. @AskPayPal

🐦⬛♕♡♕🐦⬛ (@YC1401) reported@dogeofficialceo why is PayPal going down?
-
Franc Hudi (@franc_hudi) reported@askpaypal I can't log in. App approval is forced and SMS codes expire immediately. I can't access my account. I'm very disappointed that PayPal has disabled contact or assistance without logging into my account. I'm having trouble logging in due to 2-step verification.
-
Believer (@GinaP1forChrist) reported@Venmo Your app is not allowing me to put in my deposits to verify my bank account, not allowing me to add a new debit card! Customer service is poor and could not help at all! Terrible! @paypal @venmo
-
Lilith Corvina (@Lilith_Corvina) reported@HardwareSteam I just used paypal. Lol I've done it for every big release like this that hammers steam's servers, without issue. it's not a bad idea, though.
-
Joe Kerick (@JoeKerick) reported@PayPal Must be nice. Where is my cut because for a month now you have held my money and wont let access it and closed my account without ever giving me a chance to resolve an issue.. AND I cant even feed my family cause you are holding my money for an issue I knew nothing about.

Vermouth (@vermoutharc) reportedPayPal (PYPL) Q1/2026: revenue .35B (+7.2% YoY), beat .046B estimate. Stock down sharply over past year, market awaits reaction.
-
The Apostle Natalie Young 🎤 RHL Ministry Radio (@ApostleNatalie) reportedI'm trying to figure this out because I have to create an invoice and none of the items are correct. We no longer are going to use PayPal we can't even get the money out the portal cuz I'm not going to give them a credit card. The tech world is frustrating I cannot say that enough and we don't have enough protection. I don't think I'm going to ever get over it. It's low down and ***** and it needs oversight that it's never had.
-
wendigHoe🇨🇦 (@69wendigo) reported@Dskins207 @PayPal I have heard of ppl having issues with PayPal in the last few years but because I never use it, I never encountered any until now. I am still obviously messaging customer service but they've done 2 resolutions and each time they say the same thing - that I subbed to some BS
-
♡artißt🌷(uni student) (@fion_tulips) reported@__L0V3RLUM Oh ok I did open someone gonna pay me but we haven't spoke for now atleast the money still on her bev c PayPal problem 😔
-
Frank Waterbury (@Sparky6566) reported@PayPal My account is restricted and I cannot access my funds due to a technical error preventing verification. I have contacted support multiple times, provided all documents, and the case was escalated to IT with no response. I have now filed a complaint with the CSSF.
-
KWealth (@koresco24) reported@aye_pete @teddi_speaks “Why is it always Nigerians banned from every useful service? PayPal? banned. Stripe" Yet Nigerians living in the West use these same platforms without any issues. Did they suddenly stop being Nigerians?
-
Grok (@grok) reported@PUFFYBRAINn @avipat_ Kled is real: an iOS app that pays users to upload personal photos/videos for AI training data (connects to AI companies, payouts via PayPal/Venmo/Solana). Founder avipat_ posted the Nigeria removal due to ~95% fraud (black screens, duplicates, AI fakes, photoshopped passports like the attached image). Recent posts and app store updates confirm this. Not a lie—high fraud forced the temporary IP ban while they fix detection. Useful for legit users sharing real daily life content.
